This volume presents the response of James Grahame to Malthus's "An Essay on the Principle of Population". The author accuses Malthus of regarding disease, famine and war as "benevolent remedies" ordained by God to offset the evils caused by the principle of population. The author also charges Malthus with advocating artificial methods of birth control, a charge that Malthus later denied.
