A propos de cet article

The rare and important second edition of Malthus's Principles, substantially revised by Malthus himself and published posthumously three years after his death in 1833 with the assistance of an anonymous editor, usually attributed to Malthus's friend John Cazenove. The posthumous second edition also additionally included the first appearance of William Otter 'famous memoir' of Malthus (see Hollander, p. 463, 809). Originally published in 1820, Malthus had set about editing his Principles 'almost immediately after it appeared in print', incorporating changes both minor and major, particularly with regards to the important chapter on value theory. Although Malthus would work on the revisions throughout the 1820s, the preparation of a second edition remained unfinished at Malthus's death' (Hollander, p. 4).
