This volume comprises a collection of manuscripts by or relating to
T. R. Malthus, recently discovered in the estate of a distant
nephew, and previously unpublished. They consist of correspondence,
sermons, essays and lecture notes on political economy and history.
The manuscripts provide insights into Malthus' personal life -
especially his relationships with his parents and his tutors. They
also give details of the books he studied as a student, and suggest
hitherto unknown influences on his intellectual development. They
suggest a solution to the question of who or what influenced him to
omit the controversial theological chapters from later editions of
his Essay on Population, and his sermons present further evidence
of his religious views. The manuscripts represent a remarkable
discovery, more than 150 years after Malthus' death, of his
correspondence and other unknown writings.
