1817réf. 378979London: John Murray 1817. Fifth edition. xvi 496; iv 507 1; iv 500pp. 3 vols. 8vo. Modern quarter calf and marbled paper covered boards vellum tips flat spines gilt with green morocco lettering pieces. Very good. Fifth edition. xvi 496; iv 507 1; iv 500pp. 3 vols. 8vo. "The central idea of the essay - and the hub of Malthusian theory - was a simple one. The population of a community . 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' . The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early 19th-century Europe . his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable" PMM 251. Darwin among others credited Malthus as a source for his theory of natural selection. "The achievement of Malthus was the exposition of the theory of population; and his name has been associated so closely with this theory that like Darwin's it has added a new adjective to the language of civilized peoples" Palgrave II 670-71. First published anonymously in 1798 subsequent editions were exanded and this fifth edition published a decade after the fourth with "important additions" viz. adding substantial updates regarding public policy trade and data. The changes to this edition were so substantial that the changes were sold as a separate supplementary book titled Additions to the Fourth and Former Editions. The penultimate edition issued with Malthus's revisions during his lifetime and is often considered textually the best edition. Palgrave II 667-675; Kress B-6974. See PMM 251 John Murray unknown

1803réf. 62792London Printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1803. Large 4to. Later brown hcalf with four raised bands single gilt lines and red leather title-label to spine. 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
