Malthus, Thomas Robert.

Essai sur le principe de population.

Paris, Guillaumin, 1945. LX,687 pp 1 engr. H.leather, top of spine dam.The book Essay on the Principle of Population (original title An Essay on the Principle of Population) was first published anonymously in 1798 by the publisher J. Johnson in London1. The author was quickly identified as the Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus. Although not the first book on population, it is considered the most important of its time. Its 6th edition would have strongly influenced Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in their conception of the theory of natural selection. Malthus's book launched the debate on the true size of the population in Britain and influenced the realization of the Census Act of 1800, which carried out a national census in England, Wales and Scotland, from 1801 until now. In 1803 Malthus published a second edition, a major revision of the first. Its final version, the 6th, was published in 1826. In 1830 Malthus published a short version as A Summary View on the Principle of Population, which includes remarks on the criticisms made of the main work, 32 years after the first edition.

An Essay on the Principle of Population or, a View of Its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness

London, J. Johnson, by T. Bensley, 1803. Leather. The important and heavily revised second edition of Thomas Robert Malthus's discussion of the problems of a growing human population. First published in 1798, this is the substantially revised, enlarged and re-written second edition of Malthus's important work.Malthus's work - which posits that the human population will outgrow the supply of food and resources - fuelled the debate on the size of the British population, and contributed to the passion of the Census Act of 1800.A key argument within the book was dedicated to what is now known as the Malthusian Law of Population, theorising that growing population rates will lead to a rising supply of labour, inevitably lowering wages and leading to poverty.With the armorial bookplate of James Frampton to the front pastedown, along side the former owner's ink inscription of N.B. Hobbs. Hobbs's inscription is also present to the recto of a front blank.This second edition incorporated details of population controls that had been used in various countries and periods.

MALTHUS (Thomas Robert)

On the Measure of the Conditions Necessary to Supply of Commodities. By the Rev. T.R. Malthus, R.A.R.S.L., &c. Read May 4, 1825 [in:] Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature of the United Kingdom. Vol. 1 Part 1.

J. Murray. 1827. First Edition, 4to, xxxvi, 227, [1]pp., 22 lithograph plates, [Malthus essay running from page 171-180]; orig. boards, covers detached, lacks spine, uncut, unopened, internally a nice clean copy. Malthus's first essay to the Royal Society of Literature in which he explains his theory of the source or cause of exchangeable value. As Patricia James in her biography of Malthus explains 'Anyone wishing to understand Malthus's doctrine that the of a commodity is composed of labour and profit, these short essays can be recommended for their comparative simplicity. As is often the case, enlightenment comes from a footnote - in this instance, at the beginning of the first paper (with Malthus's italics):- "The natural and necessary conditions of the supply of commodities are precisely the same as the natural and necessary costs of production, when reduced to the simplest elements; but I have preferred the former expression, because the term cost, if not well guarded, is too apt to convey the idea of Money expenditure."' The second paper On the Meaning which is most usually and most correctly attached to the term 'Value of a Commodity' was read two years later on the 7th November 1827.

MALTHUS, Thomas R. (1766-1834)

Principles of Political Economy : Considered with a View to Their Practical Application

London, John Murray, Albermarle-Street, 1820. First Edition. Paper-covered Boards. First Edition, with the rare 4-page publisher's catalog, dated April 1820, of this classic of economic theory. 8vo: vi,601, 1]pp. "London: Printed by C. Roworth, Bell-yard, Temple-bar." on colophon and title-page verso, as called for. Uncut, in the original publisher's drab blue paper-covered boards, largely unopened, with brown paper spine and remnants of original printed label. Internally, fresh and bright with only occasionally spotting, original spine largely perished but restored sensitively by an expert conservationist, the boards somewhat stained and bumped but thoroughly original, hinges reinforced. Small owner's book label, probably contemporary, partly effaced, reading T ? Cobb. Clamshell case with leather spine label gilt. An unsophisticated copy of a truly scarce (in publisher's binding), important, and desirable book, a cornerstone of economic thought and a major influence on other scientific endeavors, including the principles of evolution developed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. Goldsmiths'-Kress 22767. Kress C577. Lowndes 1459. The title of Malthus's final major work is "something of a misnomer, as the book was conceived as a series of tracts rather than a comprehensive and systematic treatise. The Principles had only a limited impact at the time, and was severely criticized by J. R. McCulloch and [David] Ricardo; the latter prepared extensive critical notes. But more recently it has received greater recognition, largely as a result of the comments by John Maynard 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) N. B.
