T. R. Malthus

This volume comprises a collection of manuscripts by or relating to T.R. Malthus--recently discovered and previously unpublished--consisting of correspondence, sermons, essays and lecture notes on political economy and history. The manuscripts provide insights into Malthus' personal life--especially his relationships with his parents and his tutors, and also suggest hitherto unknown influences on his intellectual development. They represent a remarkable discovery, more than 150 years after Malthus' death.

Malthus, Principles of Political Economy (Cambridge, 1989). Trevor Hughes Parry is a freelance editor and materials consultant, living in Australia. He formerly lectured at Kanto Gakuen University.
