réf. elala6131Washington City: Roger Chew Weightman 1809. First American Edition based on the revised and enlarged third London edition of 1806 of one of the most important and influential works in the history of economic and social thought. “’Malthus’s law’ that population increases at a greater rate than the means of subsistence was one of the first and is still one of the most widely debated of modern economic theories. The work aroused a storm of controversy since Malthus held that checks on the growth of population would be necessary a theory which is still not finally extinguished. Malthus has exercised a strong influence not merely in economics but in the whole realm of social theory.” PMM Goldsmiths’ 19819. Kress B.5542. Palgrave II pp. 668-677.

réf. 19070His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer London. 9 February no year . 1p. 8vo. In poor condition aged and worn with loss to edges and holing around the signature. Begins with manuscript text in square brackets: 'The -9 Day of ffebry <.> Received by me Daniel Malthus Execd as P Margin Of the Right Honourable Robert Earl of Northampton One of the Four Tellers of His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer the Sum of Fifty Pounds .'. The annuity has been raised on 'Rates and Duties upon all Wines imported into Great Britain and for raising a certain Sum of Money for the Service of the year 1745'. According to T. R. Malthus's entry in the Oxford DNB his father 'being an only son of seven children appears to have inherited considerable wealth and property and these independent means enabled him to travel and to cultivate his literary artistic theatrical and scientific interests. He entered Queen's College Oxford in 1747 but did not graduate. He was an admirer of Rousseau who once visited The Rookery when Malthus was an infant. He was said to have published some literary pieces anonymously but the statement by an obituarist that he had translated works from French and German was firmly contradicted by Malthus. He supported the views of the marquis de Condorcet and William Godwin on the perfectibility of mankind but also encouraged his son's publication of opposing views. Aspects of his behaviour—for example the unconventional education he chose for Malthus and his refusal to allow his wife to wear her wedding ring—were regarded as eccentric and perhaps show the influence of Rousseau. He married on 6 May 1752 Henrietta Catherine Graham 1733–1800 his second cousin the daughter of Daniel Graham 1695–1778 apothecary to George II and George III. She can be seen as a young girl with her brother and two sisters in Hogarth's painting The Graham Children 1742 now in the National Gallery London. Malthus was the sixth of their seven children two boys and five girls. His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer, London. 9 February [ no year ]. unknown
réf. 126979 May 1827. 'L. I. Fields' i.e. Lincolns Inn Fields London. 2pp. 12mo. 40 lines. Bifolium. Good on aged paper. The reverse of the second leaf carries half of a red wax seal as well as the address to 'James Loch Esqr Bloomsbury Square'. The letter begins: 'My dear Loch Some friends of mine from the Country are desirous of seeing Lord Stafford's & Lord Grosvenor's pictures some time next week; & they understand that the obtaining of Tickets is not a matter of course but that some little interest is necessary.' He asks for assistance 'with regard to Cleveland House . for Mrs Johnston & party about 5 or 6 persons'. He is going 'to the Cambridge Election' on the following day and thinks that it will be 'very keenly contested'. On his return he hopes 'to attend the Council of the London University' when he hopes 'that Horner's business will be finally & satisfactorily settled'. He has heard 'nothing more about Silk Gowns' but 'Willy Brougham . persists in retaining his appointment and will not be scared into resignation like Plunkett by the Chancery Lawyers.' In the last paragraph he deprecates the news that 'Lord Exeter is to have one of the blue Ribbands though he is no friend of Canning's & indeed closely connected with the high Tory opposition'. This is in his view 'one among many instances of C's weakness & entire dependence upon the higher power.' There is no mention of Loch in Lady Seymour's 'The "Pope" of Holland House Selections from the Correspondence of John Whishaw and his Friends 1813-1840' 1906 and the year 1827 is skirted over. 9 May [1827].

The book is inscribed by the author but the inscription & signature have been partially cut off in rebinding. "This interesting work proposes to examine by the light of scientific criticism the theory of Malthus and the principal objections that have been brought against it. The author turns his attention first to pointing out the irrefutability of the biological tendency as Malthus has shown it and the necessity which devolves upon political economy to recognize it as a fundamental law. Lebrecht does not ignore the objections raised by various writers against this tendency; on the contrary he estimates them with praiseworthy impartiality; yet after careful examination he believes that they are not destructive of the theory.He does not deny that the coefficient of procreation is essentially economic and that poverty is one of its potent factors; yet he affirms that the prolific action of poverty can be remedied by moral influences.

1821réf. 1512140034Boston: Wells and Lilly 1821-01-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. First American edition. Bound in marbled boards spine rebacked in modern leather. Burgundy Moroccan leather spine label. Clean unmarked pages. Marginal browning to pages. Internally very good. The first English edition was printed by John Murray in 1820 this is the 1st American edition printed in 1821 in Boston.J.M. Keynes "argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus . the world would be a much wiser and richer place" ODNB. The last chapter of the book was devoted to rebutting Say's law and argued that the economy could stagnate with a lack of "effectual demand". In other words wages if less than the total costs of production cannot purchase the total output of industry causing prices to fall; price falls decrease incentives to invest creating a downward spiral.

Near contemporary pencilled shelf number "D198" of Lord Dunraven of Adare Manor Co. Limerick on endpaper. KRESS B5219 This is edition incorporates the substantial revisions and additions which Malthus had made for his third edition of 1806. They are listed and described in full in his preliminary 'Advertisement' to that edition also printed here. The most substantial of the changes made was that "The chapters which were the fourth and sixth of the second book are nearly rewritten on account of an error into which the author had fallen in an attempt to estimate the fruitfulness of marriages and the number born living to be married from the data in registers" 'Advertisement'. Furthermore he added as an appendix here vol.2 p.429-484 his important Reply to the Chief Objections to the second edition of 1803. This appendix he had also published separately in quarto "for the accomodation of the purchasers of the former edition" 'Advertisement'.Malthus recommends that "those who have not the leisure or inclination to read the entire work will find in the appendix such notice of its most prominent arguments as will give them a good general idea of the aim and bent of the whole". In it he writes "My object is to correct some of the misrepresentations which have gone abroad respecting two or three of the most important points of the Essay. . The first grand objection that has been made to my principles is that they contradict the original command of the Creator to increase and multiply and replenish the earth . The next grand objection which has been urged against me is my denial of the right of the poor to support. . and lastly and rather a matter of feeling than of argument. Many persons have accused him of excessive pessimism in throwing a darker shade over our views of human nature and tending particularly to narrow our prospects of future improvement". All of these objections he attempts to refute. From the library of Edwin R. W. Wyndham-Quin Viscount Adare F.R.S. of Adare Manor Co. Limerick. Printed for J. Johnson .. by T. Bensley hardcover
