Malthus, T. R. (Thomas Robert), 1766-1834; Malthusianism
1727 to 1774, the year of his death. Betchworth, now absorbed in Mrs.
Hope’s estate of Deepdene, was on the farther side of Dorking from
Albury and the Rookery.
Footnote 742:
This lucid epithet is ascribed to George III.
Footnote 743:
A point of difference has been noted above (p. 39) and below (p. 330).
He differs from Bentham also, who would not gratify the passions but
destroy them. See Held, _Soc. Geschichte_, p. 213.

Footnote 749:
_Essay_, III. ii. 279, explains in this way the popular prejudice
which, in one case at least, visits the same sin more severely in a
woman than in a man.
Footnote 750:
_Essay_, 7th ed., IV. x. 442.
Footnote 751:
_Ibid._, IV. ii. 401. Cf. Paley, _Moral Philos._, Vol. I. Book II. ch.

Footnote 756:
_Edin. Rev._, 1810 (Aug.), an article on Ingram’s _Disquisitions on
Population_, and [Hazlitt’s] _Letters in Reply to Malthus_. As the
relations of Malthus to the _Review_ were close at this time, and as
the arguments and the style are remarkably like our author’s, there is
at least a strong probability that he wrote the article, Jeffrey after
his custom providing it with a head and tail to disguise the
authorship. Cf. Cockburn’s _Life of Jeffrey_, Vol. I. 301, 302, cf.
285.
Footnote 757:
Cf. _Wealth of Nations_, I. x. 48, 49.

See above, p. 37. The passages there cited completely refute Held’s
assertion that “Malthus appealed to Utility in the teeth of his belief
in the Bible” (_Sociale Geschichte Englands_, Book I. ch. ii p. 234).
