Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on the Principle of Population: Or a View of Its Past and Present Effects on Human Happiness
First awakeners of the mind are the wants of the body, and by arranging that the earth shall produce food only in limited quan tities, as the result of labour, God has provided a continual spur to human progress. Population tends to increase faster than food that men may be roused to save themselves from suffering for lack of it Malthus, too, is optimistic in his way. Life is.
