The Life And Writings Of Thomas R. Malthus by Charles Robert Drysdale. This biographical and analytical work surveys Thomas Robert Malthus (1766–1834), English economist and demographer, focusing on his life, travels, and the development of his population theory. Drysdale recounts Malthus’s education at Cambridge, his early essay on the principle of population, and the reception of his ideas in Britain and Europe. The book then analyzes the Essay on the Principle of Population, detailing the law of population and the checks - preventive and positive - through savage peoples, ancient Greece and Rome, modern Europe, and individual nations such as France, England, Sweden, Norway, Russia, China, Japan, Hindostan, and Tibet. It also discusses Malthus’s influence on policy, including views on marriage, moral restraint, the Poor Laws, and public health, and provides biographical notes about his family and intellectual milieu. Aimed at scholars and general readers, the work situates Malthus as a pivotal figure in political economy and social thought.
