1p., 8vo. In poor condition, aged and worn, with loss to edges and holing around the signature. Begins (with manuscript text in square brackets): 'The [-9] Day of [ffebry] | Received by me [Daniel Malthus] | [Execd as P Margin] | Of the Right Honourable Robert Earl of Northampton, One of the Four Tellers of His Majesty's Receipt of Exchequer, the Sum of | [Fifty Pounds] | [.]'. The annuity has been raised on 'Rates and Duties upon all Wines imported into Great Britain, and for raising a certain Sum of Money for the Service of the year 1745'. According to T. R. Malthus's entry in the Oxford DNB, his father, 'being an only son [of seven children], appears to have inherited considerable wealth and property, and these independent means enabled him to travel and to cultivate his literary, artistic, theatrical, and scientific interests. He entered Queen's College, Oxford, in 1747 but did not graduate. He was an admirer of Rousseau, who once visited The Rookery when Malthus was an infant. He was said to have published some literary pieces anonymously, but the statement by an obituarist that he had translated works from French and German was firmly contradicted by Malthus. He supported the views of the marquis de Condorcet and William Godwin on the perfectibility of mankind, but also encouraged his son's publication of opposing views. Aspects of his behaviourfor example, the unconventional education he chose for Malthus, and his refusal to allow his wife to wear her wedding ringwere regarded as eccentric, and perhaps show the influence of Rousseau. He married (on 6 May 1752) Henrietta Catherine Graham (17331800), his second cousin, the daughter of Daniel Graham (16951778), apothecary to George II and George III. She can be seen as a young girl with her brother and two sisters, in Hogarth's painting The Graham Children (1742), now in the National Gallery, London. Malthus was the sixth of their seven children (two boys and five girls).

Dated 12th June 1760, and signed by all parties, with a wax seal. Conjugate folio sheet, folded, with hand-written docket panel on reverse. Some light browning, rear page a little dusted. 33.5 x 21cm. Daniel Malthus, was born at Lincoln's Inn Fields in Middlesex in 1730. He inherited much wealth and property from his father Sydenham Malthus (died 1757) later residing at The Rookery near Dorking in Surrey for some years. He sold it in 1768, moving to Hadstock in Essex. His comfortable lifestyle enabled him to travel and pursue many interests including the theatre, the arts and sciences. He was a friend and executor of the will of the great philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau, and father of Thomas Robert Malthus, the famous economist. His sister Katherine, married George Eckersall in 1745 (this may be the same George Eckersall who in 1760 was (re-?)granted a lease of Sir Christopher Wren's House near Hampton Court). They had a son, John Eckersall, who in 1774 married his cousin Katherine Wathen, and their daughter, Harriet Eckersall, born in 1777, was to marry her cousin once removed, the Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.

Pen and ink portrait of Jean Jacques Rousseau in the garden at Ermenonville, titled beneath "venant d'herboriser dans les Jardins d'Ermenonville au mois de Juin 1778", along with a printed version of the image signed Mayer (Georg Friedrich Meyer), engraved by J. M. Moreau in 1779. Each 15 x 10cm. Accompanied by an ink manuscript letter (10.5 x 8cm) headed "Nuneham July 21", presenting the images: "Lord Harcourt sends his compts. to Mr. Malthus, and at the request of Mr. le Mqs. de Girardin encloses this portrait of J: J: Rousseau". Contained within the original postal cover addressed to Mr. Daniel Malthus, redirected from his London address to Cookham, signed at the foot by Harcourt under the parliamentary privilege franking system with additional "free" handstamps to the front panel, and further postal markings to the reverse (the specific types of postal markings on the cover indicate a date range of 1779-1788). The ink portrait, engraved portrait and postal cover all have historical burn marks and associated loss, as well as toning and light foxing; the letter remains in good order. A fascinating and intimate gift linking several late eighteenth-century intellectuals, all connected to the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau, in the form of two portraits of the philosopher (one ink, one engraved), sent from Rousseau's last pupil, René de Girardin, Marquis of Vauvray (1735-1808), via the radically-inclined politician and gardener George Harcourt, 2nd Earl Harcourt (1736-1809), to the father of the famous economist Thomas Malthus, Daniel Malthus (1730-1800), himself a friend of Rousseau. The present portrait depicts Rousseau in the final weeks of his life 'botanizing' in the garden at Ermenonville, the first French landscape garden, created by his pupil René de Girardin (who here sends the portrait). Ermenonville was itself inspired by Rousseau's ideas, created by Girardin as an illustration of his philosophical and social beliefs regarding the place of man in nature. Within the garden, Girardin began construction of a house for Rousseau, modelled after the "Élysée" of Julie in Rousseau's novel La Nouvelle Héloïse. Rousseau himself visited the garden in May 1778, staying in a small thatched cottage, where he remained until his death in July that year. Girardin subsequently made a tomb for Rousseau at Ermenonville, which became a destination of pilgrimage for his admirers, until his body was re-interred at the Pantheon in Paris in October 1794. Following Rousseau's death, Girardin and two other of his friends of prepared a complete edition of his works, using the manuscripts of some of his most important writings, including Les Confessions and Les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire, which he had left behind at Ermenonville. This new edition was published in Geneva between 1780 and 1782, and contributed greatly to the spread of Rousseau's ideas throughout France, and beyond, in the years leading up to the French Revolution. The original drawing of Rousseau at Ermenonville was executed by the German artist Georg Friedrich Meyer (1733-1779), who also resided with Girardin at Eremenonville during his final years, and where he became well acquainted with Rousseau. Other similar versions of this drawing by Meyer exist (one being in the collection of the Fine Art Museum of San Francisco), and it is unclear as to whether the present pen and ink drawing is an original work by Meyer, or a contemporary copy of the engraving - either way, its origin, from the hands of Girardin himself, provide it with sufficient interest. The present two portraits subsequently made their way to the politician George Harcourt, 2nd Earl Harcourt (previously Viscount Nuneham), a supporter of John Wilkes, friend of Catherine Macaulay, opponent of the war against the American colonies, and pioneering garden designer. Here, he apparently acted as an intermediary in this distinguished friendship circle, sending the pictures on to Daniel Malthus - enlightened ge.
