Note 756 — BOOK III. MORAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY.
Reading edition
Edin. Rev., 1810 (Aug.), an article on Ingram’s Disquisitions on Population, and [Hazlitt’s] Letters in Reply to Malthus. As the relations of Malthus to the Review were close at this time, and as the arguments and the style are remarkably like our author’s, there is at least a strong probability that he wrote the article, Jeffrey after his custom providing it with a head and tail to disguise the authorship. Cf. Cockburn’s Life of Jeffrey, Vol. I. 301, 302, cf. 285.
