Malthus' localization of the horrific sublime of "overpopulation" as the power of population to increase the "race of labourers," renders "overpopulation" a scientized construction and tropological displacement of anxieties about the social and sexual mobility of the laboring classes.
Malthus was driven from the Edinburgh by its leading economic reviewer, the Ricardian J. McCulloch, and accepted by an initially hostile Tory Quarterly review in 1823, once the Tories had moved beyond its initial resistance to the new science of political economy and to the principle of population that they had previously regarded as hard-hearted.
Place is particularly interesting in relation to Malthus in that he represents a faction of working-class support for the bill as framed in the interests of labor, and it is in terms of labor that Malthus argued his case for reform along the lines of what was eventually proposed by the bill.

Pausanias identifies the demon as one who 'eats off all the flesh of corpses' and describes Polygnotus' painting of him in these terms: 'He is of a color between blue and fl, like that of meatflies; he is showing his teeth and is seated; under him is spread a vultur's skin.

Each new member was an economic asset in groups that had to hunt or tend animals or wrest their living from the soil, and the high infant death rate encouraged people to raise large numbers of children in the hope that some of them would survive into adulthood.
Malthus set out to shatter this idea through a very simple argument, based on his observation that the European population was growing rapidly at the time.
Malthus became known as the "gloomy parson", and one contemporaneous critic called his theory "that fl and terrible demon that is always ready to stifle the hopes of humanity" (quoted in Heilbroner, 1967).

Yet Malthus is the demon maverick with a pessimistic bent and a penchant for wishing the worst for humanity.
The gist of Malthus’ thought is that populations of organisms will increase until their environments can no longer support them, at which point bad things happens– food supplies crash leading to starvation, predator populations explode leading to mass predation, population density allows for rapid infectious disease transfer leading to plagues.
Malthus himself allowed for numerous mechanism for checking population growth, one of which, in the case of humans, is moral restraint.

 Darwin-L Message Log 37: 56-91 (September 1996)
His point is that Malthus was hardly original in his calculation of the tendency to increase nor in his contention that the result always outstrips food supply.
Malthus himself said that the facts of population's tendency to increase had long been noted, but that its "natural and necessary effects" had been overlooked.
Malthus developed a view of society as dependent on the operation of natural cause and effect: this "cause" is "immediately united with the very nature of man." Thus he is tracing a derivation from human nature to certain inevitable laws of society -- and using history for his data.
