Versuch über die Bedingung und die Folgen der Volksvermehrung, aus dem Englischen von Dr. F.H. Hegewisch. 2 Tle. - [DECREASING POPULATION GROWTH]
Altona, J.F. Hammerich, 1807. 8vo. Bound in the two nice cont. uniform cardboardbindings w. marbled paper. Gilt lines and gilt title-labels to spines. Some wear w. minor loss of paper to capitals, hinges and corners. Small hole to paper as well as to leather title-label of spine of volume two. Some brownspotting, but overall a nice and atrractive copy. Lacking the half-tilte for the first book (merely stating ""Erstes Buch""). XVI, 368"" VIII, 358, (1) pp.
Rare first German edition of this political and economic classic, which constitutes Malthus' first major publication and his main work, because of which he is considered the father of demography and one of the main sources of inspiration for Darwin and Wallace. It is the first translation of the ""Principle on Population"" into any language, and it influenced German politics tremendously.The first edition was printed anonymously in London in 1798, and in 1803 the second edition, which, also according to Malthus himself, can be said to constitute a new work, appeared"" -the great quarto edition from 1803 is thoroughly revised and much enlarged, the title has been changed and Malthus' name appears on the title-page for the first time, it is on this edition that all the preceding editions are based, and in consequence also the early translations. All the later editions were minor revisions of the second one. In 1806 the third edition appeared, and as soon as 1807 the first German one, which is translated from the revised third edition (""Die gegenwärtige Uebersetzung ist nach der dritten Ausgabe, Oktav, London 1806. Die Quartausgabe ist minder vollständig"", Vorwort, p. V). New revisions of the text kept appearing till the sixth edition in 1826. The book, then as now, is considered highly controversial, and it has influenced all demographers ever since, as well as being of immense importance to the study of economic theory and genetic inheritance. ""The ""Essay"" was highly influential in the progress of thought in the early nineteenth-century Europe.... ""Parson"" Malthus, as Cobbett dubbed him, was for many, a monster and his views were often grossly misinterpreted.... But his influence on social policy, whether for good or evil, was considerable. The Malthusian theory of population came at the right time to harden the existing feeling against the Poor Laws and Malthus was a leading spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834."" (PMM 251).Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), called the ""enfant terrible"" of the economists, was an English demographer, statistician and political economist, who is best known for his groundbreaking views on population growth, presented in his ""Essays on the Principle of Population"", which is based on his own prediction that population would outrun food supply, causing poverty and starvation. Among other things this caused the legislation, which lowered the population of the poor in England. Malthus actually turned political, economic and social thought upside down with this work, which has caused him to be considered one of the 100 most influential persons in history (Hart, The 100: A Ranking of the most Influential Persons in History, 1978). Of course, he was condemned by Marx and Engels, and opposed by the socialists universally, but the work was of immense impact on not only politics, economics, social sciences etc, but also on natural sciences. ""Later in the ""Origin of Species"" he [Darwin] wrote that the struggle for existence ""is the doctrine of Malthus applied with manifold force to the whole animal and vegetable kingdoms"" for in this case there can be no artificial increase of food, and no prudential restraint from marriage"" [p. 63]. Alfred Russel Wallace, who arrived at a worked-out formulation of the theory of evolution at almost precisely the same time as Darwin, acknowledged that ""perhaps the most important book I read was Malthus's ""Principles of Population"" (My Life, p. 232). Although there were four decennial censuses before Malthus' death, he did not himself analyze the data, although he did influence Lambert Quetelet and Pierre Verhulst, who made precise statistical studies on growth of populations in developed countries and showed how the early exponential growth changed to an S curve."" (DSB, IX, p. 69). As Malthus realized that his theories were not satisfactorily presented or sufficiently demonstrated in the first edition from 1798, he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics, and then published the second edition in 1803. Among other places he travelled through Northern Germany, and his detailed diaries of these journeys provided him with some of the evidence necessary for the development of his theory on population growth. The observational information that he gathered on his travels in Europe were crucial to the development of his theories, which also means that the work is of great interest for other European countries, and not only Britain. ""In 1819 the Royal Society elected Malthus to a fellowship. He was also a member of the French Institute and the Berlin Academy, and a founding member of the Statistical Society (1834).""

La fable des abeilles ou les fripons devenus honnetes gens. Avec le commentaire, ou l'on prouve que les Vices des Particuliers tendent à l'avantage du Public. Traduit de l'anglois sur la sixième édition.
A Londres, Aux dépens de la compagnie, 1740, 4 volumes in-12°, XXII-333, 267, XLVIII-282 et 270 pages, cartonnage marron, dos lisses ornés de filets dorés.
EDITION ORIGINALE de la traduction française. Des papiers collés sur les dos (probablement des numéros de cote d'une bibliothèque) ont été arrachés, d'où quelques menus manques (voir photo).. La Fable des abeilles décrit avec passablement de cynisme les ressorts de la prospérité de l'Angleterre du 18e siècle. Mandeville y dénonce les fausses vertus que sont, par exemple, la modestie, la décence, l'honnêteté et le sens de la hiérarchie. Il tente de montrer comment la convoitise, l'orgueil et la vanité sont les ressorts de l'opulence. Il souligne, en somme, l'utilité économiques des vices et montre, du même souffle, l'harmonie naturelle des intérêts. La Fable provoquera un véritable scandale. Les journaux seront le lieux de débats acrimonieux, alors que l'Église condamnera ce diable d'homme ("Man-Devil"). Or, on semble avoir mal compris le sens de la dichotomie vertu/vice qu'utilise Mandeville. La vertu, selon lui, est toute action qui s'oppose aux impulsions de la nature et qui cherche à faire le bien public, alors que le vice est tout ce que l'homme accomplit pour satisfaire ses appétits sans considération pour le bien public. Les vices auxquels Mandeville prête une utilité économique ne sont donc pas l'ivrognerie, la pyromanie ou la luxure. Non, ce sont plutôt la convoitise, la recherche du profit individuel, l'orgueil. Ce sont ces passions naturelles toujours à l'oeuvre mais que dissimule l'état social. Ce sont, en un mot, tout ce qui pousse les hommes à embaucher des domestiques, à se faire confectionner des robes magnifiques ou des bijoux coûteux, en somme à chercher à devenir riches et à dépenser sans compter pour montrer qu'on l'est devenu. Satisfaire l'extravagance du riche, écrit-il, donne du travail aux pauvres. La prodigalité est utile, la frugalité est nuisible. Malthus et Keynes auront compris la leçon...
LE SPECTATEUR AMÉRICAIN.
1785 Amsterdam-Bruxelles, Emmanuel Flon, 1785. In-8 (137 X 212 mm) demi-veau fauve, dos lisse orné d'une chainette et filets dorés en place des nerfs, compartiments alternativement ornés d'un fer au cervidé ou d'un large fleuron, titre doré, dentelle en queue, tranches marbrées (Reliure de l'époque); (1) f. blanc, (1) f. de faux-titre, XX pages dont titre, 519 pages, une carte dépliante, deux tableaux dépliants, (1) f. blanc. Petite cicatrice transversale dans la partie inférieure du dos.
SECONDE ÉDITION, la plus recherchée. Elle a été revue, corrigée et augmentée par l'auteur. Elle contient une GRANDE CARTE GRAVÉE dépliante des États-Unis intitulée "Carte générale des Treize États-Unis Indépendants de l'Amérique septentrionale pour servir au Spectateur américain, 1785" et deux tableaux dépliants: «Balance générale du Commerce respectif de l'Angleterre & de ses Colonies du Continent de l'Amérique, depuis 1697 jusqu'à 1773» et «Compte de vente de 131 boucauts de Tabac envoyés de Charles-Town à Bristol, sur le navire le Lively, cap. G. Catter, pour le compte de M. L. P.» On trouve in fine une importante table alphabétique qui occupe les pages 493 à 519. Joseph MANDRILLON, littérateur français né en 1743, après avoir travaillé plusieurs années dans la banque, fit un long voyage en Amérique pour y former des relations. À son retour en Europe, il s'installa à Amsterdam où il ouvrit un comptoir, et partagea son temps entre les affaires et l'étude. Il adopta les principes des novateurs en Hollande et de la révolution française, et revenu en France, se lia avec les royalistes constitutionnels. Lors de l'établissement de la Terreur, il chercha vainement à s'opposer à la faction qui couvrait la France d'échafauds. Accusé d'entretenir une correspondance avec le duc de Brunswick, il fut guillotiné par les révolutionnaires en 1794.Sa relation de voyage aux États-Unis est assez pessimiste, puisqu'il s'efforce d'y prouver que la découverte de l'Amérique n'a pas été moins funeste à l'Ancien qu'au Nouveau monde. BEL EXEMPLAIRE dans une reliure de l'époque au dos décoratif. (Sabin, 44240 - Leclerc, 947 - Ined, 3041 - Chadenat, 4073 - Michaud, "Biographie Universelle", T. XXVI, p. 326, «On y trouve des observations judicieuses»). NICE COPY. PICTURES AND MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST.
