. VIII,261p. Fine recent two-tone boards, back lettered black, marbled edges. Corner of half-title clipped. A nice copy. First edition. Malthus' last book in which he occupied himself with the terminology of economic science. In his preface he writes that the differences of opinion among political economists have of late been a frequent subject of complaint; and it must be allowed that one of the principal causes of them may be traced to the different meanings in which the same terms have been used by different writers'. The first half of the book is taken by increasingly polemical criticisms of the use of words by Adam Smith, Say, Ricardo, James Mill, McCulloch and Samuel Bailey, the last two chapters contain definitions of 60 terms, followed by observations on the defitiions. In his Definitions in political economy' [Malthus] enunciated four Rules for the definition and application of terms in political economy', and listed sixty definitions of economic concepts. However, Malthus's understandable obsession with his own interpretation of the measure of value, with his own definition of wealth in terms of material goods only, and with his belief that wealth should not be defined in terms of goods having value in exchange, meant that he, rightly or wrongly, had become estranged from the usages current amongst other economists, and that in some respects his attempts to introduce order and clarity merely exacerbated the terminology confusion. Nevertheless, the Definitions' remains significant as an early contribution to the methodology of economics, and one which repays consideration in times of terminological confusion.'Kress C.1924.

Hardcover. Zustand: 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 blocks 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.

2 volumes, 8vo. (8 1/4 x 5 inches). [Vol. 1] xvi, 510, xxxiv pp.; [Vol. 2] vii, 542 pp. Contemporary tree calf, skilfully rebacked. Spines gilt ruled forming six compartments, lettering pieces in the second compartmenrs Provenance: Possibly John Barclay (1749-1824), former Mayor of Philadelphia from 1791 to 1793 First American edition of a fundamental text of Modern Economics. Thomas Robert Malthus was an English economist, cleric, and scholar influential in the fields of political economy and demography. Malthus came to prominence for his publication of the present work, first published in 1798. Between 1798 and 1826, Malthus published six versions of the essay, updating each edition to incorporate new material, to address criticism, and to convey changes in his own perspectives on the subject. Writing in response to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Godwin, specifically their approaches to the improvement of society, Malthus opposed the optimistic view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and, in principle, as perfectible. Malthus saw population growth as inevitable whenever conditions improved, thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man." Malthus laid the "theoretical foundation of the conventional wisdom that has dominated the debate, both scientifically and ideologically, on global hunger and famines for almost two centuries" (Daoud). He remains a much-debated writer.

[Demography] FIRST TWO VOLUME EDITION. Octavos (22 x 14 x 8cm), pp.xvi; 505; [63], pp.viii; 559; [1]. Brown half calf, marbled paper over boards. Gilt ruling and red labels containing gilt titles to spines. All edges speckled blue. Interior relatively bright and clean, a few leaves spotted/marked. Infrequent pencil annotations throughout each volume. Small ownership inscription in both volumes to a front, blank leaf. Toning to corners of all endpapers. Marbled boards rubbed, some wear to calf spines and extremities. Very good. Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus, FRS (17661834), known as Thomas Malthus or Robert Malthus (his preference), was an English demographer and political economist. He is best known for his pessimistic but highly influential views on population growth. In 'An Essay on the Principle of Population' (1798) Malthus made the famous prediction that population would outrun food supply, leading to a decrease in food per person.

. [IV],159p. Fine recent embossed green boards (sd P.Goy & C.Vilaine), back gilt lettered. A wide-margined copy (23,4 x 14,4 cm). Some very light staining, mostly limited to the lower margin. First (only) edition, rare. The last book of Dupont de Nemours published in the year of his death in America. It is the only criticism of Malthus' population theory from a physiocratic point of view, since all other important adherents of Quesnay had died when Malthus published his book. 'Dupont declared that Malthus was too pessimistic; that the poor would not pactice moral restraint; that population pressure spurred men to increase production. America need not fear population growth for 600-1.000 years at least.'Dupont's criticism of Malthus is followed by a French translation of four chapters of Malthus' great work dealing with physiocracy that were omitted in Pierre Prevost's translation of 1809 (p.39-115), and by a letter from Dupont to Jean Baptiste Say (p.116-59). *Goldsmiths'-Kress 21762.1.

Bound in contemporary diced calf bordered by double gilt rules, artfully rebacked to style with corners restored, spine divided into 6 compartments with central blind-stamped ornaments flanked by narrow gilts rules, dog tooth rolls and dotted lines between raised bands, gilt titled direct, marbled endpapers, speckled edges.

The Second Edition, known as the Great Quarto Edition, of Malthus's famous treatise on population. This edition was so substantially revised and enlarged from the anonymously published essay of 1798 that the author himself considered it almost a new work. The original essay was essentially a polemical tract, designed as a corrective to the utopian views of Condorcet and Godwin regarding the perfectibity of society. Malthus argued that progress of society will always be hindered by the tendency of the population to increase faster than the means of subsistence. While populations increase geometrically, food production only increases arithmetically, resulting in hardship and starvation for the lowest ranks of society. In the vastly enlarged 1803 edition, the product of five years of research and travel on the European continent, Malthus addresses the many misconceptions and criticisms of his original essay by presenting a far more thorough and balanced statement of his views. He begins the work with a lengthy historical analysis of the working out of his theory in many different types of societies throughout the world from ancient times to the present. By fleshing out his ideas with factual examples he claims to give his work, in his own words, "a more practical and permanent interest". As the extended title of the second edition indicates, the last half of Malthus's work is devoted to an issue barely touched upon in the earlier essay, namely the measures and expedients that may be taken by society to mitigate or eliminate the suffering resulting from population pressures. Here he softens the harshness of his original conclusion that the only checks on population consist in "misery or vice" (i.e. famine and disease, or homosexuality and abortion) by proposing a number of preventive measures that should be taken, in the form of education for the lower classes, reform of the poor laws, and "moral restraint" (i.e. abstinence and delayed childbearing) in order to avoid the ruinous consequences of over-population. Malthus's theory of population, though later qualified by technological advances in food production and birth control, remains one of the most influential works in the history of social and economic thought. Most importantly, it served to call public attention to population as a major factor in the progress of civilisation, and through its emphasis on social competition for scarce resources, "the struggle for existence", provided the critical impetus for Darwin and Wallace's theory of natural selection.

Quarto, 18.7 x 22.7 cm, 2 pages + integral address leaf. Unpublished letter from Malthus from St Leonards, where he was convalescing, to the economist Nassau William Senior (1790-1864) approving of Senior's emigration plan which he published in 1831 anonymously "I quite approve of your emigration plan, and see no objection to the draft of the bill which seems to propose adequate means to accomplish the desireable end". Malthus refers to an upcoming visit to town with Mrs Malthus and a stay with his friend William Otter. [page 1]St Leonards Jany 1831My dear Senior I should have written to youthis evening, if I had not received yourletter of this morning. I quite approveof your emigration plan, and see no objectionto the draft of the bill which seems topropose adequate means to accomplishthe desireable end. It would give me great pleasureto join your party, and I should not havebeen deterred by your saying that youcould not give me a bed, knowing thatthere must be plenty of such articles inthe neighbourhood; but as we are about[page 2]to have this warm climate on Saturdaysennight, I think that two winter journeysso near together would not be justifiable eitherin regard to my health or resources. I mustbe at the College without fail on this dayfortnight, and we have taken our lodgingsto that time; but as Mrs Malthus particularlywants a day on town, we shall start on theSaturday and sleep at Mr Otters at Stockwellthat night.
