Around 1796, Mr. Malthus, an English gentleman, had finished reading a book that confidently predicted human life would continue to grow richer, more comfortable and more secure, and that nothing could stop the march of progress. He discussed this theme with his son, Thomas, and Thomas ardently disagreed with both his father and the book he had been reading, along with the entire idea of unending human progress. Mr. Malthus suggested that he write down his objections so that they could discuss them point-by-point. Not long after, Thomas returned with a rather long essay. His father was so impressed that he urged his son to have it published. And so, in 1798, appeared An Essay on Population. Though it was attacked at the time and ridiculed for many years afterward, it has remained one of the most influential works in the English language on the general checks and balances of the world's population and its necessary control. Originally two volumes, it is presented here in an omnibus edition. THOMAS ROBERT MALTHUS (1766-1834) was educated at Jesus College in Cambridge. In 1798, he was curate at Albury in Surrey, and became a Professor of History and Political Economy at Haileybury College, 1805.

Excerpt from An Essay on the Principle of Population, Vol. 1 of 3: Or a View of Its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness; With an Inquiry Into Our Prospects Respecting the Future Removal or Mitigation of the Evils Which It Occasions; In Three Volumes IT has been justly remarked that few writers have been so much discussed as Malthus by persons who have never read his works; few men have been so violently abused both by his own and by subsequent generations; and few, needless to say, have been so hopelessly misrepresented. No one, among Classical writers, therefore, has a better claim to speak for himself through the pages of the Everyman Library. Malthus's Essay on Population, which was first published anonymously in 1798, arose out of a discussion with his father on the social philosophy expounded by Godwin in Political Justice and in the pages of the Enquirer. Godwin appears to have been influenced by Rousseau and other French writers of the Revolutionary era, and strongly believed in the power of human reason to bring humanity to a state of perfection. Like his more famous successor, Robert Owen, he maintained that the evils of society were due to human institutions, and in particular to the existence of private property. In a society free from these hindrances there would be an abun dance for everybody, and all reasonable needs would be satis fied if every one worked half an hour a day. In his system of communistic anarchy, where each would receive according to his needs, vice and misery, which flourish on selfishness and greed, would disappear. But to Malthus this very idealistic theory ignored some of the most fundamental traits in human nature; and, in particular, would inevitably come to grief by reason of what he called the principle of population. The doctrine that will for ever be associated with his name declares that there is a universal tendency for population to outrun the means of subsistence. In the state of society imagined by Godwin.
