GODWIN, W. Recherches sur la population, et sur la faculté d'accroissement de l'espèce humaine; contenant une réfutation des doctrines de M. Malthus sur cette matière. Traduit de l'Anglois par F.S. Constancio.
Paris, J.P. Aillaud, 1821. 2 volumes. (4), xiv, 416 pp.; (4), 473 pp. 8vo. Contemporary half calf, spines gilt in compartments, marbled boards, lower part of spines with a stain. Kress C.710; Goldsmiths 23169; Einaudi 2635; not in Mattioli (1463 for the English edition). First French edition, very rare. Malthus' Essai on the principle of population was among others directed against Godwin and Condorcet. Godwin answered with the above work. 'Godwin at first considered Malthus' arguments not only convincing, but as new. Later he changed his mind about the former point and in this book undertook to annihilate Malthus' argument. In doing so Godwin showed considerable analytic power. In spite of Bonar's advers jugement, it should I think be admitted that Godwin succeeded in making several points which can be considered real contributions' (Schumpeter).
