P., INED, 1980, gr. in-8°, 166 pp, traduction par Eric Vilquin, avant-propos de Jacques Dupâquier, reliure toile crème imprimée de l'éditeur (salie), état correct (Société de démographie historique. Département de démographie de l'Université catholique de Louvain)
Réimpression de la 1ère édition de l'ouvrage de Malthus – parue sans nom d'auteur –, qui fit scandale en Angleterre. — "Malthus est le père d'une doctrine, le malthusianisme, dont le nom est connu à la fois des savants et du grand public, mais dont le contenu est ignoré de la plupart. Il devenait urgent d'éditer la traduction française de son Essai sur le principe de population. Remarquons que les précédentes traductions, datant du siècle dernier, furent faites sur les éditions ultérieures d'un ouvrage dont le titre commence par les mêmes mots mais qui est en réalité totalement différent de celui qui nous occupe. Nous lisons donc ici la première traduction du premier Essai que Malthus publia en 1798, sans nom d'auteur. Il s'agit d'un pamphlet provocant qui fit scandale, tandis que le second Essai, paru en 1803, est un traité d'allure scientifique, une sociologie de la population. Or, ce pamphlet philosophique incorpore en germe la théorie de la population qui allait être développée plus tard. Les principes de base sont déjà énoncés dans les premiers chapitres : la population s'accroît en progression géométrique, les subsistances en progression arithmétique; la difficulté de se nourrir forme un frein puissant ; le vice et la misère freinent la multiplication de la population ; le principe de population empêche la perfectibilité de la société; les lois des pauvres multiplient la pauvreté..."

Institut National d'études démographiques (I.N.E.D.) 1980, "in-8 rel. toile jaune (16 x 22,5), 166 p., coll. ""Classiques de l’Économie et de la Population"", traduction et avertissement par Eric Vilquin, avant-propos par Jacques Dupâquier, jaquette, bon état.
Economiste et pasteur anglican, puis professeur d’économie politique, Malthus est surtout l’auteur de l’Essai sur le principe de population... qui fit sa renommée et qui est généralement connu dans la forme prise à partir de la 2ème édition, parue en 1803; il y en a eu six successives jusqu’en 1826. La 1ère édition, parue sans nom d’auteur en 1798, dans une Angleterre en crise, traumatisée par les bouleversements politiques et idéologiques survenus en France, n’avait jusqu’à présent jamais été traduite en français. Écrit d’un jet, ce pamphlet provocant fit scandale. Malthus polémique contre Godwin, pasteur anglais, devenu athée, ennemi juré de toutes les formes de gouvernement, très exactement "anarchiste", contre Condorcet (qui s’était suicidé en 1794), dont l’orientation lui paraît symbolique de la philosophie optimiste des "lumières", et contre la "loi des pauvres" de Pitt que Malthus condamne. Il professe que l’assistance aux miséreux est inutile, car elle ne sert qu’à les multiplier sans les soulager; comme remède, il préconise la limitation des naissances par l’abstention des relations sexuelles jusqu’au mariage qui doit être tardif (25 à 30 ans). Malthus a la gloire d’avoir donné son nom à une doctrine, le malthusianisme, dont le nom est connu à la fois des savants et du grand public, mais dont le contenu est ignoré de la plupart. Elle se présente ici dans sa forme originelle. Voir le sommaire sur photos jointes.

First French edition of this political and economic classic, which constitutes Malthus' first major publication and his main work, because of which he is considered the father of demography and the main source of inspiration of Darwin and Wallace.The first edition was printed anonymously in London in 1798, and in 1803 the second edition, which also according to Malthus himself can be said to constitute a new work, appeared" -the great quarto edition from 1803 is thoroughly revised and much enlarged, the title has been changed and Malthus' name appears on the title-page, it is on this edition that all the preceding editions are based, and in consequence also the early translations. All the later editions were minor revisions of the second one. In 1807 the fourth edition appeared, and in 1809 the first French one, which is translated from the revised fourth edition (""A la suite de cette préface on trouve dans la 4.e édition, sur laquelle je traduis, une notice de tous les changements que la 3.e édition a apportés à la 2.e. Le plus considérable est celui qui a rapport à l'estimation de la fécondité des mariages. Il est absolument inutile pour les lecteurs francois de connoître le détail minutieux des autres changemens, qui ne peuvent intéresser que les acquéreurs des précédentes éditions. P.P.p"", Préface, p. xxiij). New revisions of the text kept appearing till the sixth edition in 1826.The book, then as now, is considered highly controversial, and it has influenced all demographers ever since, as well as being of immense importance to the study of economic theory and genetic inheritance. ""The ""Essay"" was highly influential in the progress of thought in the early nineteenth-century Europe.... ""Parson"" Malthus, as Cobbett dubbed him, was for many, a monster and his views were often grossly misinterpreted.... But his influence on social policy, whether for good or evil, was considerable. The Malthusian theory of population came at the right time to harden the existing feeling against the Poor Laws and Malthus was a leading spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834."" (PMM 251).Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), called the ""enfant terrible"" of the economists, was an English demographer, statistician and political economist, who is best known for his groundbreaking views on population growth, presented in his ""Essays on the Principle of Population"", which is based on his own prediction that population would outrun food supply, causing poverty and starvation. Among other things this caused the legislation, which lowered the population of the poor in England. Malthus actually turned political, economic and social thought upside down with this work, which has caused him to be considered one of the 100 most influential persons in history (Hart, The 100: A Ranking of the most Influential Persons in History, 1978). Of course, he was condemned by Marx and Engels, and opposed by the socialists universally, but the work was of immense impact on not only politics, economics, social sciences etc, but also on natural sciences. ""Later in the ""Origin of Species"" he [Darwin] wrote that the struggle for existence ""is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdoms"" for in this case there can be no artificial increase of food, and no prudential restraint from marriage"" [p. 63]. Alfred Russel Wallace, who arrived at a worked-out formulation of the theory of evolution at almost precisely the same time as Darwin, acknowledged that ""perhaps the most important book I read was Malthus's ""Principles of Population"" (My Life, p. 232). Although there were four decennial censuses before Malthus' death, he did not himself analyze the data, although he did influence Lambert Quetelet and Pierre Verhulst, who made precise statistical studies on growth of populations in developed countries and showed how the early exponential growth changed to an S curve."" (DSB, IX, p. 69).As Malthus realized that his theories were not satisfactorily presented or sufficiently demonstrated in the first edition from 1798, he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics, and then published the second edition in 1803. Among other places he travelled through France and Switzerland in 1802, and his detailed diaries of these journeys provided him with some of the evidence necessary for the development of his theory on population growth. The observational information that he gathered on his travels in Europe were crucial to the development of his theories, which also means that the work is of great interest for other European countries, and not only Britain. ""In 1819 the Royal Society elected Malthus to a fellowship. He was also a member of the French Institute and the Berlin Academy, and a founding member of the Statistical Society (1834).""

"Édition originale de la traduction française due à Pierre Prévost de Genève. Un des ouvrages phares de la science économique et démographique qui connut un immense succès en raison de la polémique qu'il entraina. Malthus pose l'idée du contrôle de la démographie et de la limitation de l'accroissement de la population afin de pouvoir maîtriser les ponctions sur les ressources. Il sera ""canonisé"" en tant qu'économiste de l'école classique aux côtés d'Adam Smith et de David Ricardo. ""Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) était pasteur et professeur d'histoire et d'économie politique à l'East India College à Haileybury. […] Il a surgit de la plus complète obscurité pour atteindre la renommée, en 1798, quand il a publié son Essay on the Principle of Population."" (Schumpeter, Histoire de l'analyse économique). Bel exemplaire en reliure strictement contemporaine. En fin volume, catalogue de l'éditeur Paschoud à Genève. De la bibliothèque P. Tissot avec timbre humide sur les titres de chaque partie."
