About This Item
London: Cadell and Davis, 1806. Ex-Library. Very Good. Hardback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A good clean copy, rebound in stout red cloth with red leather spine, library label to inside of front board and small shield stamp to first two pages. The first and indeed only edition of this elusive text on population written as a refutation of Malthus. Jarrold (1763-1809), a well-known physician, discusses in a series of chapters the checks to population adopted in various European and non-European societies, including North America. This is the earliest criticism of Malthus to achieve the scale of a full-length work: the more famous reply of Hazlitt did not appear until 1807, and Charles Hall's provocative work.An elusive first edition of this influential volume of 1806. 367pp printed by Northall and Dawson, Stockport..
