Excerpt from A Reply to the Essay on Population, by the Rev. T. R. Malthus, in a Series of Letters: To Which Are Added, Extracts From the Essay; With Notes
The second place, that if I could have attackedthe work successfullz without attacking the author, I should have preferred doing so. But the thing was impossible. Fvhoever troubles him setf about abstract reasonings, or caim, dispas sionate inquiries after truth? The public ought not to blame me for consulting their taste. As to the difiuseness, the repetitions, and want qf me thod to be found in these letters, I have no good defence to make. I may however make the same excuse far the great length to which they have run, as the Frenchman did, who apologised for writing a long letter by saying, that he had not time to write a shorter.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the utopian visions of society prevailing during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and contrasts them with the looming specter of overpopulation that the author, Malthus, foresaw with rising industrialization. Malthus argues that the unchecked growth of the population would outstrip resources, leading to scarcity, and widespread suffering. He believed that moral restraint was the only effective way to prevent this catastrophe, advocating for a shift in social values to prioritize prudence and foresight over unbridled reproduction. Despite his controversial views, the author's insights on the complex relationship between population growth, resources, and human well-being, have had a profound impact on economic and social thought.
