Hazlitt's reply consists of a series of lectures, the first three of which were first published in Cobbett's Political Register. Appended to these letters are extracts from Malthus's Essay, along with his own commentary and notes. Hazlitt attacks Malthus on a number of points, including the geometrical and arithmetical ratios which Hazlit described as 'a pure fiction'.
