Second edition - first published in 1798 - of what the DNB calls 'a substantially new book, containing the results of his careful enquiries on the continent and his wide reading of the appropriate literature'. This copy also contains the rare Reply , published separately for the benefit of those who already possessed the second edition and added to the third (8°) edition of 1806 as an appendix. Among Malthus' main antagonists were Southey, Coleridge, Hazlitt and Cobbett who attacked him for his supposed theological heterodoxy - the Reply begins 'The first Grand objection that has been made to my principles is, that they contradict the original command of the Creator, to increase and multiply the earth...'
