Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 8vo. pp. liv, [1 leaf], 446. untrimmed & partly unopened in original cloth (spine dull & frayed at ends, label chipped). Second Enlarged Edition of Malthus's chief contribution to general economic theory, in which he explains in particular his differences with Ricardo. ".Ricardo's work.started with the Wealth of Nations and recoined the latter's theoretical contents by a method that centered in the concept of value. Exactly the same thing is evidently true of the work of Malthus.Except for his theory of saving and investment, which on the face of it seems to be Malthus's own, all the elements that enter into the analytic apparatus of that work, and even its terminological arrangements, point to the First Book of the Wealth of Nations. Only, whereas Richardo recoined the doctrine of the Wealth by means of the labor-quantity theory of value, Malthus recoined it by the means of the theory of value that A.Smith actually used, namely, the theory of supply and demand.[whereas] Ricardo's analytic apparatus is geared to the problem of distribution.Malthus.geared his apparatus to the analysis of the whole economic process.Therefore, Malthus should.stand in the history of analysis not only as the author of a valid alternative to Ricardo's theory but as the sponsor (or rather as one of the sponsors) of the victorious one." (Schumpeter) This edition, enlarged with additions from Malthus's own manuscript, was published two years after the author's death, and includes William Otter's important Memoir (pp. [xiii]-liv), one of the chief original authorities for James Bonar's Malthus and His Work (1886).

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).

First American Edition, based on the revised and enlarged third London edition of 1806, of one of the most important and influential works in the history of economic and social thought. "'Malthus's law', that population increases at a greater rate than the means of subsistence, was one of the first and is still one of the most widely debated of modern economic theories. The work aroused a storm of controversy since Malthus held that checks on the growth of population would be necessary, a theory which is still not finally extinguished. Malthus has exercised a strong influence not merely in economics, but in the whole realm of social theory." (PMM) Goldsmiths' 19819. Kress B.5542. Palgrave II pp. 668-677.
