Les idées et les faits (eugénique, hérédité, hérédité morbide, crime et hérédité, stérilisation, milieu et race des pauvres, épuisement de la mère, facteur de dysgénisme, tare et génie, surpopulation et Guerre, dogme religieux contre la maternité consciente, éducation sexuelle, individualité féminine, association sexuelle, éthique de la maternité consciente) / L'action (exemples de la Grande-Bretagne, Suède, Allemagne, Autriche, Hollande, Etats-Unis, Inde, Chine, Japon, Russie). Écrivain libertaire, antimilitariste, pacifiste et néomalthusien, Manuel Devaldès (1875-1956) se réfugie en Angleterre au moment de la 1e guerre mondiale, revient en France en 1929 et consacre la majeure partie de ses travaux au néomalthusianisme. Poussant son raisonnement au risque de l'eugénisme, il estime que la course aux naissances est aussi absurde que la course aux armements, pointant du doigt le problème des guerres et de la surpopulation dans le monde, militant pour une régulation des naissances qui permettrait une meilleure répartition vivrière, cet objectif devant être réalisé par une génération "consciente" et une maternité "consciente", détachés des préceptes chrétiens du Décalogue ("Croissez et multipliez"), propageant ainsi l’oeuvre de pacification du monde et le salut de l'humanité.

MALTHUS

Un des ouvrages les plus influents de l'histoire de la pensée économique Paris & Genève, J. J. Paschoud, 1809. 3 vol. (120 x 195 mm) de 424, 395 et 392 p. Demi-veau brun, dos ornés de fleurons à froid et roulettes dorées, pièces de titre et de tomaison, tranches jaunes mouchetées (reliure légèrement postérieure). Édition originale de la traduction française.

Au début des années 1790, le philosophe anglais William Godwin expose un « principe de population ». Réagissant principalement à la thèse alors développée par Godwin, Malthus fait alors paraître la première édition de son Essai sur le principe de population, un pamphlet qui paraît - anonymement - en 1798. Il y substitue en 1803 ce qui se veut un traité plus scientifique, dans lequel il se réfère aussi à quatre autres sources importantes : Of the Populousness of Ancient Nations de David Hume, A Dissertation on the Numbers of Mankind de Robert Wallace, Observations on Reversionary Payments de Richard Price et An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations d'Adam Smith. Deux ans après cette parution, l'Essai fait l'objet d'une traduction partielle par le Suisse Pierre Prévost, qui fut professeur de physique et de philosophie à l'Université de Genève. Certains chapitres sont intégralement traduits, tandis que d'autres ne le sont que partiellement. Prévost accompagne sa traduction de notes et commentaires personnels ; encouragé par Malthus, il fait paraître en 1809 à Paris et à Genève cette nouvelle édition, la première complète, donnée d'après la dernière établie par Malthus en 1807 (la quatrième édition anglaise). « [Malthus] m'a même autorisé en conséquence à y faire les changements que j'estimer[a]is nécessaires. Je n'ai pas abusé de cette permission. Je me suis prescrit au contraire de faire connaître l'ouvrage de M. Malthus, tel qu'il l'a lui-même publié. L'appendice est la seule partie où j'ai fait des retranchements et quelques modifications, sans les indiquer en détail ; parce que les objections que l'auteur y discute m'ont paru quelquefois trop faibles ou trop particulières, pour mériter d'être exposées et réfutées dans une traduction, avec autant d'étendue qu'elles le sont dans l'original. Mais j'ai supprimé certains morceaux et même des chapitres entiers, qui s'écartent un peu du sujet principal ou qui sont trop immédiatement relatifs à l'Angleterre. » « L'Essai du révérend Malthus causa, en 1798, un véritable choc idéologique dans une Angleterre en crise, traumatisée par la Révolution française. Ce texte contient la première formulation - inchangée dans les cinq éditions suivantes - du principe de population. Avancée fondamentale, ce principe affirme que les vitesses de croissance de la population et des subsistances sont très différents, la première augmentant plus rapidement que la seconde .» (INED, préface à l'édition critique de 2017). Son analyse des crises de surproduction l'oppose à Jean-Baptiste Say et en fait un précurseur de Keynes - par l'accent qu'il met sur l'insuffisance de la demande - , ce dernier soulignant qu'il est « le premier des économistes de Cambridge ». Rare première traduction française de cette référence majeure dans l'histoire des idées. Bon exemplaire. De la bibliothèque Antoine Larue, avec ex-libris. Dirigeant de plusieurs entreprises de l'industrie chimique dans la deuxième partie du XXe siècle, sa bibliothèque sera dispersée en 1985 puis 1993, à l'Hôtel Drouot, par Claude Guérin.

"MALTHUS, T. R.

London, John Murray, 1817. 8vo. Bound in three nice uniform contemporary half calf with five raised bands and gilt lettering to spine. Spines with wear. Front board and spine detached from book-block on volume 1. Ex-libris pasted on to pasted down front free end-paper on all three volumes. A fine set.

The fifth 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.This present fifth edition contain several important additions (price of grain) and the third chapter of Book III was completely rewritten. 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).""

MALTHUS, T.R.

London, Printed for J. Johnson, by T. Bensley, 1803. Large 4to. Later brown hcalf with four raised bands, single gilt lines and red leather title-label to spine. First three and last 14 leaves a bit brownspotted, title-page and last two leaves marginally repaired at hinge, otherwise a very nice, clean, and solid copy. VIII, (4), 610 pp.

The Great Quarto-edition of Malthus' milestone work, the first and most influential book on population. Although being the second edition, after the anonymously printed first of 1798, it is so significantly altered, revised, and expanded that it is considered a new work rather than a new edition. Malthus himself also thought of it as such. It is nearly four times the length of the 1798 essay, the title has been changed (the title of the first: ""An Essay on the Principle of Population, as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society with Remarks on the Speculation of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and Other Writers""), and it is published with Mathus' name as the author, not anonymously. All later editions were minor revisions of this heavily expanded and altered second one. ""In the course of this inquiry, I found that much more had been done, than I had been aware of, when I first published the essay. The poverty and misery arising from a too rapid increase of population, had been distinctly seen, and the most violent remedies proposed, so long ago as the times of Plato and Aristotle. And of late years, the subject had been treated in such a manner, by some of the French economists, occasionally by Montesquieu, and, among our own writers, by Dr. Franklin, Sir James Steuart, Mr. Arthur Young, and Mr. Townsend, as to create a natural surprise, that it had not excited more of the publick attention"" (Preface to the second edition, p. IV). The controversial views, because of which the work became so influential, are most provocative and eyeopening in the second edition, in which Malthus for instance for the first time advocates moral restraint (meaning sexual abstinence and late marriage) and elaborately explains his comparison between the increase of population and food. ""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). Malthus was, naturally, condemned by Marx and Engels, and opposed by the socialists universally, but the work had an enormous impact on not only politics, economics, and social sciences, but also on natural sciences. For instance, both Darwin and Wallace considered Malthus a main source in their development of the theory of natural selection, considering him a great philosopher and his Essay on Population one of the most important books ever. ""Malthus’s idea of man’s ""Struggle for existence"" had decisive influence on Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. Other scientists related this idea to plants and animals which helped to define a piece of the evolutionary puzzle. This struggle for existence of all creatures is the catalyst by which natural selection produces the ""survival of the fittest""... Thanks to Malthus, Darwin recognised the significance of intraspecies competition between populations of the same species (e.g. the lamb and the lamb), not just interspecies competition between species (e.g. the lion and the lamb). Malthusian population thinking also explained how an incipient species could become a full-blown species in a very short timeframe."" The second edition must be considered the most important of all the editions. This is far more a work on the problems of over-population than it is a response to Godwin and Condorcet on their works (whic is the main concern of the first edition). ""Not so much shocked by his own conclusions, in his ""Essay on Population"" (first ed. 1798), as driven by a naturally inquiring mind, he travelled for three years through Europe gleaning statistics and then published a second edition (1803).""

(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.

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.

Réimpression de la 1ère édition de l'ouvrage de Malthus – parue sans nom d'auteur –, qui fit scandale en Angleterre. — "Malthus est le père d'une doctrine, le malthusianisme, dont le nom est connu à la fois des savants et du grand public, mais dont le contenu est ignoré de la plupart. Il devenait urgent d'éditer la traduction française de son Essai sur le principe de population. Remarquons que les précédentes traductions, datant du siècle dernier, furent faites sur les éditions ultérieures d'un ouvrage dont le titre commence par les mêmes mots mais qui est en réalité totalement différent de celui qui nous occupe. Nous lisons donc ici la première traduction du premier Essai que Malthus publia en 1798, sans nom d'auteur. Il s'agit d'un pamphlet provocant qui fit scandale, tandis que le second Essai, paru en 1803, est un traité d'allure scientifique, une sociologie de la population. Or, ce pamphlet philosophique incorpore en germe la théorie de la population qui allait être développée plus tard. Les principes de base sont déjà énoncés dans les premiers chapitres : la population s'accroît en progression géométrique, les subsistances en progression arithmétique; la difficulté de se nourrir forme un frein puissant ; le vice et la misère freinent la multiplication de la population ; le principe de population empêche la perfectibilité de la société; les lois des pauvres multiplient la pauvreté..."

"MALTHUS, Thomas-Robert;"

Genève, J.-J. Paschoud, 1809 3 tomes en un volume in-8 de XXIII, (1), 424, (6) - (4), 395, (3) - (4), 392 pp., 16 pp. de catalogue d'éditeur, demi-veau havane, dos lisse orné de filets, roulettes et palettes dorés, tranches paille (reliure de l'époque).

"Édition originale de la traduction française due à Pierre Prévost de Genève. Un des ouvrages phares de la science économique et démographique qui connut un immense succès en raison de la polémique qu'il entraina. Malthus pose l'idée du contrôle de la démographie et de la limitation de l'accroissement de la population afin de pouvoir maîtriser les ponctions sur les ressources. Il sera ""canonisé"" en tant qu'économiste de l'école classique aux côtés d'Adam Smith et de David Ricardo. ""Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) était pasteur et professeur d'histoire et d'économie politique à l'East India College à Haileybury. […] Il a surgit de la plus complète obscurité pour atteindre la renommée, en 1798, quand il a publié son Essay on the Principle of Population."" (Schumpeter, Histoire de l'analyse économique). Bel exemplaire en reliure strictement contemporaine. En fin volume, catalogue de l'éditeur Paschoud à Genève. De la bibliothèque P. Tissot avec timbre humide sur les titres de chaque partie."
