Note 68 — Chapter I · FIRST THOUGHTS, 1798.
Reading edition
1st ed., pp. 394–6; cf. pp. 241–6. Compare Mr. Henry George’s epilogue to Progress and Poverty. It is right to remember that this passage of Malthus was written two years before Paley’s Natural Theology, though four years after his Evidences of Christianity, and many more after the Moral and Political Philosophy.
