Malthus, T. R. (Thomas Robert), 1766-1834; Malthusianism
Arthur Aikin’s _Annual Review_, vol. ii. (for 1803) pp. 292 _seq._ Cf.
Southey’s _Life and Correspondence_ (ed. 1850), vol. ii. p. 251, 20th
Jan. 1804: “Yesterday Malthus received, I trust, a mortal wound from
my hand;” cf. vol. vi. p. 399, and vol. ii. p. 294. There is no hint
of obligation to Coleridge.
Footnote 867:
Cf. above, ch. iii. pp. 81 _seq._, and Bk. III.
Footnote 868:
_Sic_, though it explains a thing by itself.
Footnote 869:
He probably meant 353rd, but his numbers are careless.
Footnote 870:
On margin of p. 364, 2nd paragr.: “Quote and apply to himself.”
Footnote 871:
_E. g._ on p. 65 opposite to lines 5, 6, “Ass!” a monosyllabic
refinement omitted in Southey’s review.
Footnote 872:
First in 1817, 7th ed., pp. 509 _seq._
Footnote 873:
One of the charges (p. 18: that Malthus recommends the same remedies
as Condorcet) is sufficient to stamp the character of the book—_An
Inquiry into the Principle of Population_, &c., by James Grahame. Its
Introduction gives a useful list of writers on both sides; see p. 71.
(Edin., 1816.) Simonin repeats Grahame’s charges, with more mistakes
of his own. See his _Hist. de la Psychologie_ (1879), pp. 397–9.
Footnote 874:
7th ed., p. 511. Cf. above, p. 52, and the reply to Godwin’s Reply,
_Essay_, 2nd ed., III. iii. 384.
Footnote 875:
_Edinburgh Review_, Jan. 1837.
Footnote 876:
_Life and Correspondence of Southey_, vol. iii. pp. 21–2, and p. 188.
Footnote 877:
Bishop of Gloucester and later of Hereford. _Theolog. Works_ (1832).
Footnote 878:
“The prolificness of human things, otherwise similarly circumstanced,
varies inversely as their numbers.”—Sadler, _Popn._, vol. iii. p. 352
(1830). Reviewed somewhat caustically by Macaulay in _Edin. Rev._,
July 1830. See Trevelyan’s _Life of Macaulay_, vol. i. p. 126. Cf.
Sadler’s ‘Reply’ to _Edin. Rev._ His weakest point was his use of
“inversely.”
Footnote 879:
Malthus, _Essay_, II. v. (7th ed.), pp. 164, 166; cf. p. 485.
Footnote 880:
