Spines gilt ruled forming six compartments lettering pieces in the second compartmenrs Provenance: Possibly John Barclay 1749-1824 former Mayor of Philadelphia from 1791 to 1793 First American edition of a fundamental text of Modern Economics. Thomas Robert Malthus was an English economist cleric and scholar influential in the fields of political economy and demography. Malthus came to prominence for his publication of the present work first published in 1798. Between 1798 and 1826 Malthus published six versions of the essay updating each edition to incorporate new material to address criticism and to convey changes in his own perspectives on the subject. Writing in response to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Godwin specifically their approaches to the improvement of society Malthus opposed the optimistic view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible. Malthus saw population growth as inevitable whenever conditions improved thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man." Malthus laid the "theoretical foundation of the conventional wisdom that has dominated the debate both scientifically and ideologically on global hunger and famines for almost two centuries" Daoud. He remains a much-debated writer.

1809rif. 103515A Paris et à Genève, chez J.J. Pashoud, 1809, in-8, 3 vol. de I : 424-[6] pp. + II: [4]-395-[3] pp. + III : [6]-392-[5] pp, Demi-veau de l'époque, dos lisses filetés ornés en doré de roulettes et fers rocaille, Première traduction française, très augmentée par Pierre Prévost, pour qui l'ouvrage magistral de Malthus "a pour objet principal de diriger la bienveillance, vertu familière". Thomas-Robert Malthus (1766-1834) avec un siècle d'avance annonçait le principe qui sera repris par Keynes, de la demande effective opposée à la loi des débouchés. Publié originellement en anglais de façon anonyme en 1798, cet essai phare de la pensée économique et démographique du XIXe siècle instaure une réflexion sur le rapport entre le développement de la population et celui des subsistances qui amène à la conclusion que ce sont les salaires qui déterminent le chiffre de la population. Le second thème essentiel de la pensée malthusienne est sa critique du système anglais de lois sur les pauvres (Poor Laws) qui, selon lui, amplifie la pauvreté de manière générale. Excellent exemplaire en jolie reliure de l'époque, dos très légèrement frottés, petit accroc en tête d'une coiffe. Couverture rigide
