ABSTRACT

R. A. Ingram, Disquisitions on Population (1809) and [Hazlitt] Reply to the Essay on Population (1807); review by ?Thomas Robert Malthus, Edinburgh Review, XVI (Aug. 1810), 464–476. The Edinburgh Review’s constant championing of Malthus’ views on population provides a convenient index to the political and economic biases of the Whig magnates and their intellectual allies. That Malthus himself may have written this review adds to its interest. Hazlitt’s book is not discussed in any concrete way, but is dismissed by innuendo.
