Mr.Malthus,Professor of Political Economy,at the East India Company's College,has raised himself very high in the literary world by his Essay on Population,which has been translated into all the languages of Europe.
For these two years past he has informed us,that he is preparing new Principles of Political Economy,considered with respect to the practical Applications .
This work,which was impatiently expected,appeared in London,a few months since.M.J.B.Say,who has rendered great services to this science in our Country,and whom we can proudly oppose to the most celebrated English names,has not waited for a French Translation of it (1)to combat those opinions which are in opposition to his.
This discussion,between two men who have proved themselves able,and which is at this moment interesting to all the Trading Interest in the world,has appeared to us worthy the attention of the public,not only under existing circumstances,but at all times.
It will further serve to make Mr.Malthus's work known to those who have not read it.
