Excerpt from A Medical Address on the Benevolence of Malthus, Contrasted With the Corruptions of Neo-MalthusianismRemembering the obloquy with which my former refe rence to the size of families had been received, I struck out the pages bearing directly on this subject, fearing that they might prejudice the main purpose of my book.It is therefore only after mature consideration that I again take up this population question for I am convinced that the time has arrived when it is the duty of the Christian physician to pronounce a clear judgment on this matter, and state the right views and methods respecting the increase of the population, and the regulation of family life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
