1809réf. 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

An Essay on the Principle of Population; Or a view of its past and present effects on Human Happiness; With an Inquiry into our prospects respecting the future removal or mitigation of the evils which it occasions. A new edition very much enlarged. London: Printed for J. Johnson. by T. Bensley 1803. Second edition enlarged and revised. Quarto. viii 4 610 pp. Contemporary calf skillfully rebacked to style and with corners renewed. Spine decoratively tooled in gilt compartments with burgundy morocco gilt lettering label. Endpapers renewed. Occasional light foxing. Title-page with publisher's diagonal paper flaw crease. Overall very good. A completely revised and greatly expanded edition of the most influential work on population ever written. Malthus published the first edition of his Essay in 1798 and was apparently unprepared for the torrent of controversy that his ideas provoked. His response to the public outcry was to spend the next five years refining and expanding his theories for this second edition so much so that "in its present shape it may be considered a new work and I should probably have published it as such omitting the few parts of the former which I have retained but that I wished it to form a whole of itself and not to need a continual reference to the other." preface Malthus' basic argument--that population increases geometrically at a greater rate than does the means of subsistence which increases arithmetically--was one of the earliest modern economic and social theories and his contention that it would eventually become necessary for society to impose some form of restraint on over-population provided the premise for heated socio-economic debate for almost two centuries.

1820réf. 66825London: John Murray 1820. If Only Malthus Instead of Ricardo Had Been the Parent Stem From Which Nineteenth-Century Economics Proceeded What a Much Wiser and Richer Place the World Would be Today" MALTHUS Thomas Robert. Principles of Political Economy. Considered with a View to Their Practical Application. London: John Murray 1820. First edition. Octavo. vi 12-601602. Original boards uncut. With original paper label on spine. Hinges expertly and almost invisibly repaired. Old bookplate from "The Library of Victoria" with no other library markings. A very clean copy internally fine. Very scarce in original boards. Housed in a custom quarter black morocco clamshell gilt-stamped. First edition of Malthus' principal contribution to economic theory. Schumpeter describes Malthus' work in relation to that of his predecessors Adam Smith and Ricardo as follows: "Ricardo's work.started with the Wealth of Nations and recoined the latter's theoretical contents by a method that centered in the concept of value. Exactly the same thing is evidently true of the work of Malthus.except for his theory of saving and investment which on the face of it seems to be Malthus's own all the elements that enter into the analytic apparatus of that work and even its terminological arrangements point to the First book of the Wealth of Nations. Only whereas Ricardo recoined the doctrine of Wealth by means of the labor-quantity theory of value Malthus recoined it by the means of the theory of value that A. Smith actually used namely the theory of supply and demand.whereas Ricardo's analytic apparatus is geared to the problem of distribution.Malthus. geared his apparatus to the analysis of the whole economic process.Therefore Malthus should.stand in the history of analysis not only as the author of a valid alternative to Ricardo's theory but as the sponsor or rather as one of the sponsors of the victorious one." "Although Malthus is best known for the views on population contained in his Essay on Population.there can be no doubt that his importance for economists today rests mainly on his Principles of Political Economy 1820. It was because of the latter work that J. M. Keynes reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought". New Palgrave. Cress C577. HBS 66825. $6500. John Murray unknown books

1809réf. 40999Washington City: Roger Chew Weightman 1809. 2 volumes 8vo. 8 1/4 x 5 inches. Vol. 1 xvi 510 xxxiv pp.; Vol. 2 vii 542 pp. Contemporary tree calf skilfully rebacked. 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.

1868réf. 178Scarce first Russian edition of a major landmark of economic literature the Essay on the Principle of Population first published in English in 1798. With much added material. The translator P. A. Bibikov was a historian philosopher and literary critic who had already translated Smith's Wealth of Nations in 1866. With this background he added a wealth of material to this edition making it more than just a translation but also an a posteriori analysis. Next to the 80 pages on Malthus' life and works Bibikov added in a rich appendix translations of foreign commentators as well as his own footnotes relating to Russia. Very interestingly he updated and commented the many pages Malthus had already devoted to the Russian case. The appendix includes texts by Townsend Garnier Chernyshevskiy and Prudhon as well as a convenient 20-pp. alphabetical index. "The central idea of the essay - and hub of the Malthusian theory - was a simple one. 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 recognises 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 product of children by the postponement of marriage."
