Excerpt from Illustrations and Proofs of the Principle of Population: Including an Examination of the Proposed Remedies of Mr. Malthus, and a Reply to the Objections of Mr. Godwin and Others The following work is the result of an examination of Mr. Godwin's "Enquiry concerning the power of increase in the numbers of mankind, " and of Mr. Malthus's "Essay on the Principle of Population." In every reply to the "Essay on Population, " preceding the present one, which is the second from the pen of Mr. Godwin, the principal point in the controversy, the Power of Increase, has been conceded. In some of these replies, the power to increase has been admitted to be quite as potent as Mr. Malthus has described it, while, in all of them its efficacy is admitted to be sufficient to have peopled the earth to the utmost extent of the means of subsistence, had even the art been discovered to which Mr. Godwin alludes, of providing food by chemical affinities.
