An Essay on the Principle of Population, as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society (Cambridge Library Collection - British and Irish History, General)

Published anonymously, this is the 1798 first edition of Malthus' provocative work of political and economic theory. His discussions of prostitution, contraception and sex, and his denial of the right of the poor to be supported in the face of famine, poverty and disease, made this a highly controversial text.
