""An Essay on the Principle of Population"" is a seminal work by Thomas Malthus, first published in 1798. In this book, Malthus argues that population growth will eventually outstrip the resources available to sustain it, leading to a population crash. He suggests that this will occur because human population growth is exponential, while the growth of resources is linear. Malthus also argues that efforts to alleviate poverty and improve living conditions will only exacerbate the problem by encouraging more people to have children. The book was controversial in its time and remains a subject of debate among scholars today. Malthus' ideas have influenced a wide range of fields, from economics and sociology to environmental science and public policy.The principal objects which human punishments have in view are undoubtedly restraint and example; restraint, or removal, of an individual member whose vicious habits are likely to be prejudicial to the society'; and example, which by expressing the sense of the community with regard to a particular crime, and by associating more nearly and visibly crime and punishment, holds out a moral motive to dissuade others from the commission of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
