This volume comprises a collection of manuscripts by or relating to T.R. Malthus--recently discovered and previously unpublished--consisting of correspondence, sermons, essays and lecture notes on political economy and history.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, and also suggest hitherto unknown influences on his intellectual development. They represent a remarkable discovery, more than 150 years after Malthus' death.
This is the second and final volume of manuscripts by or relating
to Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) that are now held at Kanto
Gakuen University in Japan. Volume I contains 75 items of
correspondence, while Volume II contains transcriptions of further
original manuscripts, including: four of Malthus' sermons; his
diary of a tour of the Lake District; an extensive set of
calculations in the bullion trade, suggesting that he was giving
serious thought to becoming a bullion trader on his own account;
lecture notes on European history from the fifth to the tenth
century; his wife's diary of their holiday in Scotland in 1826 and
an essay on foreign trade. These previously unknown and unpublished
manuscripts promise insights into his intellectual development and
the events and circumstances of his life, as well as glimpses of
the lifestyle of his wider family and contemporaries.
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nephew, and previously unpublished.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.
Published in two volumes, these books provide a student audience
with an excellent scholarly edition of Malthus' Essay on
Population. Written in 1798 as a polite attack on post-French
revolutionary speculations on the theme of social and human
perfectibility, it remains one of the most powerful statements of
the limits to human hopes set by the tension between population
growth and natural resources. Based on the authoritative variorum
edition of the versions of the Essay published between 1803 and
1826, and complete with full introduction and bibliographic
apparatus, this edition is intended to show how Malthusianism
impinges on the history of political thought, and how the author's
reputation as a population theorist and political economist was
established.

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.
