Author: MALTHUS, T.R.
Title: An Essay on the Principle of Population; ... The Fourth Edition.
Description: London, for J. Johnson 1807. Two volumes octavo, uncut and unopened in original boards. Chipping at the spine tops, front hinge of volume I cracked but holding. A scattering of light spots, rather good. ¶ Malthus beavered away at this producing four editions in nine years; or, perhaps, three editions in five years as he regarded the second edition as pretty much a new work. Then it sat for a decade until his fifth edition in conjunction with a separate volume of additions to this fourth and earlier editions so as to save owners from having to buy a whole new set. He may well have shrunk from causing an over-population crisis of his books on library shelves.
