An Examination of Opinions maintained in the ‘Essay on the Principles of Population’ & Two Lectures on Population

‘We beg our readers’ permission to appropriate the title of Humbug School of Political Economy to those writers and orators who maintain the coexistence of excess of population and overproduction.’

‘John McIniscon’

‘Although Mr Malthus has perhaps fallen into the exaggeration which is natural to a discoverer, his error, if it be one, does not affect the practical conclusions which place him, as a benefactor to mankind, on a level with Adam Smith.’

Nassau William Senior
