[WALLACE, Robert] [1697-1771].
A Dissertation On The Numbers Of Mankind in antient and modern Times: In Which The superior Populousness of Antiquity is maintained. With An Appendix, Containing Additional Observations on the same Subject, And Some Remarks on Mr. Hume's Political Discourse, Of the Populousness of ancient Nations.
Edinburgh: Printed for G.Hamilton and J.Balfour, 1753..
8vo. pp. iv, 331. contemporary sprinkled calf (library bookplate, small rubberstamp & inked numbers in lower margin of title, another rubberstamp at end of text, small chip & neat paper label at foot of spine, lacking lettering piece but otherwise quite a nice copy). First Edition. The Reverend Dr. Wallace of Edinburgh is remembered chiefly for his insightful and suggestive contributions to the discussion of population problems and for the influence which he exerted upon Malthus. According to Hazlitt (The Spirit of the Age), "both the principle of the necessary increase of the population beyond the means of subsistence, and the application of that principle as a final obstacle to all Utopian perfectibility schemes, are borrowed by Mr. Malthus from Wallace's work." The Dissertation On The Numbers Of Mankind contains the substance of a paper read before the Philosophical Society of Edinburgh sometime before 1745. It is considerably expanded by a lengthy appendix, in which Wallace vigorously undertakes to refute the contentions of Hume as expounded in the chapter on the Populousness of Ancient Nations in his Political Discourses (1752). Goldsmiths'8782. Higgs 619. Jessop p. 52. Kress 5318.
