An Essay on the Principle of Population
An Essay on the Principle of Population, as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society with Remarks on the Speculations of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and Other Writers.

Note: I, Joe, am reading this, as I can, and therefore more comments and quotes from me may materialize.

Much less will he give himself the trouble in a fair and candid manner to attempt an exposition of their fallacy.
