A Few Doubts As to the Correctness of some Opinions generally Entertained on the Subjects of Population and Political Economy

‘The first idea of the following pages was suggested by a passage in Mr Godwin’s Essay on Population. He has supposed it possible to refute Mr Malthus’s system from the facts adduced in its support. It has been my aim to shew, that, admitting all his premises, they by no means justify the conclusion he has drawn from them.’

‘Human institutions are the real cause of all the misery with which we are surrounded, and he who in the arrogance of his folly would trace them to any other source, as he renders hopeless all improvement of our condition, is equally an enemy to man whom he oppresses, and to God whom he maligns.’

Piercy Ravenstone
