Footnote 6:
“Why,” said I, “how many children do you reckon to have at last?” “I
do not care how many,” said the man, “God never sends mouths without
sending meat.” “Did you ever hear,” said I, “of one Parson Malthus? he
wants an act of parliament to prevent poor people from marrying young,
and from having such lots of children.” “Oh, the brute!” exclaimed the
wife; while the husband laughed, thinking I was joking.—Cobbett’s
_Advice to Young Men_, Letter 3, p. 83. The references to Cobbett in
the Essay are probably, 7th ed., pp. 310 and 318, cf. p. 313; but his
name is not mentioned.
