About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of An Essay on the Principle of Population, by Thomas Malthus, read by Geoffrey Edwards. The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man. Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will show the immensity of the first power in comparison with the second (Malthus).
