Published in two volumes or as a set this provides a definitive
scholarly variorum edition of Malthus's Principles of Political
Economy. It contains the full text of the first 1820 edition,
including Malthus's own invaluable 70-page summary, and contains
details of all the additions, omissions and emendations that
occurred between the first and the second, posthumous, edition of
1836. The first edition is extremely rare, and for over 150 years
confusions and disagreements have inevitably occurred in the
interpretation of Malthus's economics because of the absence of any
systematic record of the differences between the two editions. The
editor has written a lengthy and authoritative introduction giving
an account, derived mainly from contemporary correspondence, of the
events and circumstances surrounding the publication of the two
editions. It shows the relationship between the Principles and
Malthus's other writings and activities as a political economist.
There is also an editorial commentary that aims to explain the
significance and origin of the alterations.
