1807ref. AQ28409London: Printed for J. Johnson.by T. Bensley 1807. In two volumes. xvi 580; vii 484pp 60. With half-titles. Contemporary gilt-ruled half-calf marbled paper boards contrasting green and tan calf lettering-pieces marbled edges. Lightly rubbed corners exposed. Hinges exposed later inked ownership inscription of Arthur Johnson to recto of front blank fly-leaf of Vol. I very occasional light spotting. The fourth edition greatly extended from the anonymous first of 1798 of this cornerstone of early studies of demography and an influential work in the history of political economy. Contrary to the prevailing Whig theory of history English cleric and scholar Thomas Robert Malthus 1766-1834 argued that the agricultural output of modern Britain would not be able to support the rapid population growth witnessed in the eighteenth-century and thus that society would return to earlier subsistence levels following catastrophic outbreaks of disease and famine. The second edition of 1803 was substantially revised and extended to include observations made from European data and most notably the recognition that human agency and especially moral restraint could alleviate the plight of the poorest elements of society. The third edition of 1806 added an appendix in which Malthus replied to his many contemporary critics. This fourth edition incorporates all of the previous revisions and additions.

1809ref. 12840Paris and Geneva: Chez J.J. Paschoud 1809. 3 volumes. First Edition in French. Provenance: With the contemporary engraved bookplate of H. Trouchin and that of the subsequent owner Pierre Sciclounoff. 8vo very handsomely bound in a fine French binding of contemporary half calf over speckled boards spines with gilt ruled bands red morocco title label and green morocco volume label lettered in gilt. xxiii 424 3 ad; 395 3; 392. A very fine and handsome set very clean and sturdy in absolutely period state. The first French edition of Malthus’ landmark work. The translation from the English is by Pierre Prevost probably from the third English edition which was corrected and expanded by Malthus. French editions of Malthus are uncommon and this set is in exceptional condition in its original and contemporary state. Originally written in response to a discussion with the author's father on the perfectibility of society the book was reprinted several times with many alterations and additions as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics. "The central idea of the essay--and the hub of Malthusian theory--was a simple one. The population of a community Malthus suggested increases geometrically while food supplies increase only arithmetically. If the natural increase in population occurs the food supply becomes insufficient and the size of the population is checked by 'misery'--that is the poorest sections of the community suffer disease and famine. Malthus recognized two other possible checks to population expansion: first 'vice'--that is homosexuality prostitution and abortion all totally unacceptable to Malthus; and second 'moral restraint'--the voluntary limitation of the production of children by the postponement of marriage. This was the solution to the population problem that Malthus advocated. The 'Essay' was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe" PMM. Marx Engels Paley Darwin Wallace Keynes and Ricardo were all influenced by Malthus--either working off his ideas or reacting against them. Chez J.J. Paschoud hardcover
