Second edition, presentation copy, of Malthus's Definitions, edited and with a new preface, notes, and additional remarks by John Cazenove (1788-1879), an intimate friend and protégé of Malthus, who described him as "a very clever man, and good political economist." Cazenove's writings are "a worthwhile contribution to political economy in their own right, and an important part of the anti-Ricardian tradition" (New Palgrave). This copy is inscribed on the half-title: "To the Editor of The Economist with Mr Cazenove's Comps." The founder and first editor of The Economist was James Wilson (1805-1860), a businessman, economist and Liberal politician, who continued as editor until 1857. Sraffa 3702. Octavo. Original green cloth, printed paper label to front board, yellow coated endpapers. Pencil annotation to one or two pages. Spine ends and corners rubbed, joints with short splits to extremities, occasional marginal finger marks: a very good copy.
