Extract

A substantial collection of Malthus manuscripts has recently been discovered at Ryde (Isle of Wight), in the home of Robert Malthus (1881–1972), the great-grandson of Malthus' brother. Discoveries of other Malthus documents, notably his travel diaries, had been made at Ryde in the early 1960s in response to the enquiries of G.F. McCleary and Patricia James, but this new material was apparently overlooked by Robert Malthus at that time.
