= Einaudi 3668; Goldsmiths' 18640; Kress B.4701; cf. PMM 251 (1st ed., 1798): "The central idea of the essay - and the hub of Malthusian theory - was a simple one. The population of a community, Malthus suggested, increases geometrically, while food supplies increase only arithmetically. 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 recognized 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 production of children by the postponement of marriage. This was the solution to the population problem that Malthus advocated. The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineneenth-century Europe". Six different editions were printed during Malthus' lifetime. From the library of Arnold Heertje, with his bookplate on upper pastedown.
