Description
Population.- Weyland (John) The Principles of Population and Production, as they are affected by the Progress of Society, first edition, half-title, ex-Worcester lending library with old engraved pictorial label annotated "12 days" in manuscript, original boards, uncut, rubbed, rebacked in cloth, [Goldsmiths' 21429; Kress B.6837], 8vo, 1816.
⁂ Weyland's magnum opus is of some significance not so much in its own right but because Weyland's defence of the Poor Laws and his views on population growth angered Malthus so much that he had to answer them in some exasperated detail in his Appendix to the fifth edition of his Essay on Population published in 1817 (see also lot 119).
