Mr. MALTHUS'S SCHOOL OF POLITICAL ECO

NOM Y.
[LETTER WA

" Les passions sont les vents, qui font aller notre vaissean, et
la raison est le pilote qui le conduit; le vaisseau n'iroit pain
sans les vents, et se petdroit sans le pilote."
What ! are you shaft ?
" Ask God for temperance : that's

HENRY

MR. EDITOR—The passages which, in my last-
Essay,. I extracted 'front Mr. Maithus's work,
will have accounted satisfactorily for the com-
placent feeling which, Utopianist as I am, I bear
towards that Gentleman ; and I -think you Must,
while-perusing those passages, have asked yout-
self, how it could have come to pass that a writer
who holds opinions so accordant with common
sense, and general observation, should have been
branded as an enemy to philanthropic schemes
for the improvement of society. Perhaps it may
have struck you as somewhat curious that a
writer of such undoubted ability as Mr. Mal-
thus should have judged it expedient to compose
three volumes,. to prove a fact which all of us
' knew quite as well before the celebrated Essay
made its appearance, namely, that if young people
will marry and get a family before they have the
means of supporting one, they must either expe-
rience want and wretchedness or become a bur-
then upon their wealthier friends. In sober
seriousness, Sir, I do assure you that this is the
mighty upshot of the work on population.
Our great countryman, Bacon, knew this quite
as well as Mr. Malthus.
" Look (said he) when the world hath fewest barbarous peo-
ple, but such as commonly will not marry improvidently (as it
is almost every where at this day, except in Tartar)/ there is
no danger of inundations of people : but when there be great
shoals of people which go on to populate, without foreseeing
means of life and sustentation, it is of necessity that once in an
age or two they discharge a portion of their people upon other
nations."
Mr. Malthus having told us, that it is regula-
tion and direction which are required with regard
to the principle of population, not diminution
or alteration ; and that our obligation to restrain
the imprudent indulgence of the sexual passion
rests " exactly upon the same foundation as our
obligation to practise any of the other virtues,"
proceeds to say—

" If we might be permitted to draw a picture of society, in
which each individual endeavoured to attain happiness 1w the
strict fulfilment of those duties which the most enlightened of
the ancient philosophers deduced from the laws of nature, and
which have been directly taught, and received such powerful
sanctions in the moral code of Christianity, it would present a
very different scene from that which we now contemplate.—
Every act which was prompted by the desire of immediate gra-
tification, but which threatened an ultimate overbalance of
pain, would be considered as a breach of duty."—Vol. 3, p. 86.
Mr. Malthus calls in the authority of Dr.
Currie, the biographer of Burns, to shew not
only that moral restraint, as regards the inter-
course between the sexes, is practicable by the
working classes ; but that, in one part of the
United Kingdom, the practice is, or at least
was, generally prevalent, and productive of much
comfort and happiness :
" In appreciating (says Dr. Currie) the happiness and virtue
of a community, there is, perhaps, no single criterion on which
so much dependence may be placed, as the state of the inter-
course between the sexes. 1) here this displays ardour of at-
tachment, accompanied by purity of conduct, the character,
and the influence of women rise, our imperfect nature mounts
in the scale of moral excellence; and from the source of this
single affection, a stream of felicity descends, which branches
into a thousand results that enrich and adorn the field of life.
Where the attachment between the sexes sinks into an appetite,
the heritage of our specie:, is comparatively poor, and man ap-
proaches the condition of the beasts that perish."
In expressing some surprise that such a writer
as Mr. Malthus should have judged it worth his
while to bestow so much pains to prove the un-
disputed fact that mankind have the power of in-
creasing by procreation the number of the
species, and that without the exercise of fore-
sight, this power may be productive of evil, I
do not mean to question the propriety of strongly
impressing upon young people, and especially
upon those belonging to the working class, the
importance of well weighing the probable conse-
quences of matrimony before they enter into the
married state. This, perhaps, was a subject well
worthy of the talents of Mr. Malthus. But when,
after having shewn that the power alluded to is
pretty nearly, if not altogether, as governable as
our other passions:—or, to use his own words,
that—
" In the present state of things we appear to have under our
guidance a great power, capable of peopling a desert region in
a small number of years ' • and yet, under other circumstances,
capable of being confined by human energy and virtue to any
limits, however narrow, at the expence of a small comparative
quantity of evil,"—Vol. 3. p. 81.
I say, Sir, when, after having perused such a
sentence, we follow our worthy Author in his ex-
travagant speculations on the consequences of an
unrestrained exercise of the power of multiplying
the species, one cannot help thinking that he
trifles with his readers.
" If any person, says he, will take the trouble to make the
calculation, he will see that, if the necessaries of life could be ob-
tained without limit, and •thenumber of people could be doubled
every 25 years, the population, which might have been pro-
duced from a single pair since the Christian era, would have
been sufficient not only to fill the earth quite full of people, so
that four should stand upon every square yard, but to fill all
the planets of our solar system in the same way, and not only
them, but all the planets revolving round the stars, which are
visible to the naked eye, supposing each of them to he a sun,
and to have as many planet:, belonging to it as our sun has."
—(Principles of Political Economy, p. 227.)
Wonderful, indeed ! Methinks I see Mr.
Malthus announcing this result of his arithmeti-
cal calculations to some unfortunate Wight who,
having begotten half a dozen children, is com-
pelled to solicit parochial relief. How would
the poor man be astounded at the possible con-
sequences of his incontinence ! What.an alarm
would he excite in the mind of his wife ! See
how the neighbouring gossips stare at the news,
that this propensity to beget children is going to •
fill the world so thickly with human beings, that.
we shallnot liave room to sit.down: that we shall
