Ninth Edition. 21 x 14 cm. xv, 551 pages. Later fine polished calf. Dark blue and green spine labels. Gilt titles and decorations. All edges gilt. Marbled end papers. Binder Stamp ('Bound by Bayntun Riviere Bath England') on verso of front free end paper. Near fine condition. Minor shelf wear, rubbing and bumping. Joint and hing…es started to crack. Internally bright and clean. Thomas Robert Malthus (1766 - 1834) was an English economist, cleric, and scholar influential in the fields of political economy and demography. One of the most important and influential works in the history of economic thought. The central idea of the essay - and hub of the Malthusian theory - was a simple one. If the natural increase in population occurs the food supply becomes insufficient, and the size of the population is checked by 'misery' - that is the poorest sections of the community suffer disease and famine. Malthus recognises two other possible checks to population expansion: first 'vice' - that is, homosexuality, prostitution, and abortion (all totally unacceptable to Malthus); and second 'moral restraint' - the voluntary limitation of the product of children by the postponement of marriage" (PMM). "For today's readers, living in a post-Malthus era, the world's population problems are well known and serious, but no longer sensational. It is difficult therefore to appreciate the radical and controversial impact made by the Essay at the time of publication. It challenged the conventional notion that population growth is an unmixed blessing. It discussed prostitution, contraception, and other sexual matters. And it gave vivid descriptions of the horrendous consequences of overpopulation and of the brutal means by which populations are checked" (ODNB). Despite its unpopularity with liberal critics, Malthus's principle of population became accepted as a central tenet of classical political economy and Charles Darwin acknowledged Malthus's influence in the development of his theory of natural selection.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Leather. 8vo. Printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley, London, UK. 1806. Two Volumes, xvi, 505 pgs; vii, 559 pgs. Third Edition. Bound in gilt ruled fine calf leather with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities (boards are lightly rubbed and worn). Previ…ous owner's bookplate present to the front pastedown. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Third edition, the first to be published in 2 volumes and the first published after the Great Quarto edition of 1803, of one of the most important and influential books in the history of economic thought. The third edition contained numerous revisions, among which was a text entitled, A Reply to the Chief Objections which have been urged against the Essay on the Principle of Population, which was also published separately so that it might be bound with earlier ones. As the world's population continues to grow at a frighteningly rapid rate, Malthus's classic warning against overpopulation gains increasing importance. An Essay on the Principle of Population examines the tendency of human numbers to outstrip their resources, and argues that checks in the form of poverty, disease, and starvation are necessary to keep societies from moving beyond their means of subsistence. Malthus's simple but powerful argument was controversial in his time; today his name has become a byword for active concern about humankind's demographic and ecological prospects. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. London: Printed for J. Johnson, in St. Paul's Church-Yard, By T. Bensley, Bolt Court, Fleet Street, 1806. Third Edition collated and complete. Two volumes, in recent dark calf with gilt titles to red leather labels, gilt bands, marbled paper covered boards, new end papers, text block…s tight, tanned and foxed throughout, with some creasing, damp staining and wrinkling to the pages. Thomas Robert Malthus FRS (17661834) was an English economist, cleric, and scholar influential in the fields of political economy and demography. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. In other words, humans had a propensity to use abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view and stance that has become known as the "Malthusian trap" or the "Malthusian spectre". Populations had a tendency to grow until the lower class suffered hardship, want and greater susceptibility to war, famine, and disease, a pessimistic view that is sometimes referred to as a Malthusian catastrophe.

vi, 601, [1] p. First edition. It has a good quality mid-twentieth century binding with a polished morocco spine, marbled boards and vellum corners. The spine with gold lines and a contrasting label. Minor rubs to the spine ends, otherwise in very good condition. There is an undated pencil note on the title page '£45 Repair'. Th…e text with a few signs of use and some pale paper toning. IMPORTANT COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT PROVENANCE: The title page is inscribed at the head 'Society for promoting Working Men's Assocns / 34 Castle Place --? Oxford Street, with a shelfmark R31'. The Society was founded in 1849 by the Christian Socialists in an attempt to found self governing workshops. Lower down the title page is the oval stamp of Ormond Street Working Mens College which still exists in Camden. Founded in 1854 by Frederick Denison Maurice, Wiki describes it as 'The Working Men's College, is among the earliest adult education institutions established in the United Kingdom, and Europe's oldest extant centre for adult education. Founded by Christian socialists, at its inception it was at the forefront of liberal education philosophy.' At different times its teachers included Thomas Hughes whose latin lectures were apparently not so popular as his boxing club, F.J. Furnival, and E.M. Forster.
