Note 347 — Chapter III · : THE PESSIMISTS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
“It generally happens, indeed, that when a stimulus has been given to population an effect is produced beyond what the case requires.… The increased wages are not always immediately expended on food, but are first made to contribute to the other enjoyments of the labourer. His improved condition, however, induces and enables him to marry.” (Principles, ed. Gonner, p. 95.)
