1817Best.-Nr. 172742London: 1817. Second edition of Malthus's defence of the East-India Company's College at Haileybury his home from 1805-1834 offprinted from The Pamphleteer Vol. IX number XVIII and published the same year as the first. Malthus taught as professor of history and political economy at the East India Company College at Haileybury from its inception to his own death training generations of EIC management. By 1816 the College was attracting criticism both for its virtual monopoly on Indian Civil Service training and for the actual quality of its teaching. A series of student disturbances throughout 1816 provided the immediate occasion for Malthus's defence which outlines a thorough analysis of the College's work as the best solution to the immediate demands of the Indian subcontinent.

1807Best.-Nr. 185282London: Printed for Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1807. Though his theories were so cruel his heart and manners were most kindly and courteous Second edition presented and inscribed by Thomas Malthus: "East India College Awarded to Mr John Trotter at the Public Examination of December 1817 as the first of his Class in Political Economy T. Rob. Malthus". Malthus taught as professor of history and political economy at the East India Company College at Haileybury from 1805 to his death in 1834 training generations of EIC management. Writing many years later a former student recalled "We called him Pop; not in derision for we had a great but rather distant respect for him. Though his theories were so cruel his heart and manners were most kindly and courteous" quoted in Maureen Alexander Turner p. 54. John Trotter 1800-1825 entered the college in 1816 and subsequently joined the EIC; he died seven years later aboard the Royal George just off Penang in Malaya which was then an EIC port. Trotter was the son of Alexander Trotter d. 1842 the financially imaginative paymaster of the Royal Navy. His engraved armorial bookplate is in both volumes; Malthus's ink inscription is on the front free endpaper verso. The History of the Anglo-Saxons by Sharon Turner 1768-1847 was originally published from 1799 to 1805. It quickly became "a powerful influence on historical thought for the succeeding half-century" ODNB and remains acknowledged as a turning point in Anglo-Saxon studies and a benchmark in historiography. Writing with a clear eye on the British Empire of his own day - in which Trotter's East India Company played so prominent a role - Turner presents the Anglo-Saxons as central to the historical development that set England on its imperial course. 2 vols quarto 271 x 213 mm pp. x 499 1; viii 472 8.

Best.-Nr. 123522London John Murray 1820. . First edition; 8vo 21 x 13.5 cm; moderate spotting front free endpaper just starting to become loose at head of gutter margin remains of a library label to front pastedown; contemporary half calf marbled paper boards spine lettered in gilt dulled; vi 601 1pp. The first edition of Malthus' treatise on political economy. The book was conceived as a series of tracts rather than a comprehensive and systematic treatise though Malthus published it to establish his own position against that of Ricardo with whom he had been having an ongoing debate about the nature of labour demand and profit. 'In his 'Principles of Political Economy' Malthus was proposing investment in public work and private luxury as a means of increasing effective demand and hence as a palliative to economic distress. The nation he thought must balance the power to produce and the will to consume' DSB. 'The Principles had only a limited impact at the time and was severely criticized by J. R. McCulloch and Ricardo; the latter prepared extensive critical notes. More recently it has received greater recognition largely as a result of the comments by J. M. Keynes in the 1930s. 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 instead of being constrained by Ricardo in an artificial groove the world would be a much wiser and richer place.' ODNB.

First three and last 14 leaves a bit brownspotted title-page and last two leaves marginally repaired at hinge otherwise a very nice clean and solid copy. VIII 4 610 pp. The Great Quarto-edition of Malthus' milestone work the first and most influential book on population. Although being the second edition after the anonymously printed first of 1798 it is so significantly altered revised and expanded that it is considered a new work rather than a new edition. Malthus himself also thought of it as such. It is nearly four times the length of the 1798 essay the title has been changed the title of the first: "An Essay on the Principle of Population as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society with Remarks on the Speculation of Mr. Godwin M. Condorcet and Other Writers" and it is published with Mathus' name as the author not anonymously. All later editions were minor revisions of this heavily expanded and altered second one. "In the course of this inquiry I found that much more had been done than I had been aware of when I first published the essay. The poverty and misery arising from a too rapid increase of population had been distinctly seen and the most violent remedies proposed so long ago as the times of Plato and Aristotle. And of late years the subject had been treated in such a manner by some of the French economists occasionally by Montesquieu and among our own writers by Dr. Franklin Sir James Steuart Mr. Arthur Young and Mr. Townsend as to create a natural surprise that it had not excited more of the publick attention" Preface to the second edition p. IV. The controversial views because of which the work became so influential are most provocative and eyeopening in the second edition in which Malthus for instance for the first time advocates moral restraint meaning sexual abstinence and late marriage and elaborately explains his comparison between the increase of population and food. "The "Essay" was highly influential in the progress of thought in the early nineteenth-century Europe. "Parson" Malthus as Cobbett dubbed him was for many a monster and his views were often grossly misinterpreted. But his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable. The Malthusian theory of population came at the right time to harden the existing feeling against the Poor Laws and Malthus was a leading spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834." PMM 251. Thomas Robert Malthus 1766-1834 called the "enfant terrible" of the economists was an English demographer statistician and political economist who is best known for his groundbreaking views on population growth presented in his "Essays on the Principle of Population" which is based on his own prediction that population would outrun food supply causing poverty and starvation. Among other things this caused the legislation which lowered the population of the poor in England. Malthus actually turned political economic and social thought upside down with this work which has caused him to be considered one of the 100 most influential persons in history Hart The 100: A Ranking of the most Influential Persons in History 1978. Malthus was naturally condemned by Marx and Engels and opposed by the socialists universally but the work had an enormous impact on not only politics economics and social sciences but also on natural sciences. For instance both Darwin and Wallace considered Malthus a main source in their development of the theory of natural selection considering him a great philosopher and his Essay on Population one of the most important books ever. "Malthus’s idea of man’s "Struggle for existence" had decisive influence on Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. Other scientists related this idea to plants and animals which helped to define a piece of the evolutionary puzzle. This struggle for existence of all creatures is the catalyst by which natural selection produces the "survival of the fittest". Thanks to Malthus Darwin recognised the significance of intraspecies competition between populations of the same species e.g. the lamb and the lamb not just interspecies competition between species e.g. the lion and the lamb. Malthusian population thinking also explained how an incipient species could become a full-blown species in a very short timeframe." The second edition must be considered the most important of all the editions. This is far more a work on the problems of over-population than it is a response to Godwin and Condorcet on their works whic is the main concern of the first edition. "Not so much shocked by his own conclusions in his "Essay on Population" first ed. 1798 as driven by a naturally inquiring mind he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics and then published a second edition 1803." Catlin A History of the Political Philosophers 1939 p. 377. PMM 251 first edition. hardcover
