_E. g._ the reservoir, p. 106; but the most extravagant is perhaps the botanical figure, on p. 273, where he says that “the forcing manure,” employed to cause the French Revolution, has “burst the calyx of humanity.” Macaulay uses a similar metaphor of precisely the same event, in the _Essay on Burleigh_. Footnote 981: His own command of metaphor made it the easier for him to turn the edge of an opponent’s. See _e. g._ his handling of Weyland’s Giant, Musket-ball, and Swaddling-clothes, in _Essay_, Append. pp. 514–521. Footnote 982: Engraved by Fournier for the _Dictionnaire de l’Économie Politique_, art. ‘Malthus.’ Footnote 983: See below, p. 418 n. Footnote 984: _Gentl. Mag._, March 1835, p. 324. Footnote 985: _Essay_ (7th ed.), II. iii. 148, where “winter of 1788” is perhaps for 1798, though it is 1788 in the second and all subsequent editions; or else “preceding” may be wrong. Cf. _High Price of Prov._, p. 2. Footnote 986: Cf. above, pp. 48, 127, which should be read in conjunction with this Biography. Footnote 987: _Life of Clarke_, vol. ii. p. 183. We know from a footnote in the essay itself (7th ed., p. 194) that part of it at least was written in 1802. Footnote 988: Stanhope, _Life of Pitt_, iii. p. 36; cf. p. 53. “Our election at Cambridge was perfectly quiet.” Footnote 989: _Life of Clarke_, ii. 203–4 n. Footnote 990: Earl of Carlisle, the poet. See _Engl. Bards and Scotch Reviewers_. Footnote 991: Otter, _l. c._ p. xxvi. Cf. _Essay_, 1st ed., pp. 210–12. _Gentl. Mag._, April 1804, p. 374. A compliment which Otter pays him (in an obituary in the _Athenæum_, 10th Jan. 1835), that his servants stayed long with him, would fall more naturally to his wife. Footnote 992: Mr. Sargant (_Life of Owen_, p. 85) says, on the authority of Mr. Holyoake, that Malthus visited New Lanark in its palmy days. Owen’s work then was after Malthus’ own heart; he was reforming the world by beginning with one individual corner of it. Cf. _Essay_, III. iii. 282 ft. Footnote 993: See below, p. 423. Footnote 994: _Memoirs of Horner_, i. 436–7; cf. p. 406. Cf. Miss Martineau, _Hist. of Peace_, Introduction, II. i. 257. Footnote 995: He was made a member of the French Institute, and, in 1833, one of the five foreign Associates of the Acad. des Sciences Mor. and Pol., and a member of the Royal Academy of Berlin (Otter, _l. c._ p. xli.). See Chas. Comte, _Notice_, and Garnier, _Dict. de l’Éc. Pol._ Footnote 996: Bain, _Life of James Mill_ (1882), p. 199. Footnote 997:
