An Essay on the Principle of Population

An Essay on the Principle of Population

Printed: 11.99 $eBook: 4.99 $

The following Essay owes its origin to a conversation with a friend, on the subject of Mr Godwin's essay on avarice and profusion, in his Enquirer. The discussion started the general question of the future improvement of society, and the Author at first sat down with an intention of merely stating his thoughts to his friend, upon paper, in a clearer manner than he thought he could do in conversation. But as the subject opened upon him, some ideas occurred, which he did not recollect to have met with before; and as he conceived that every least light, on a topic so generally interesting, might be received with candour, he determined to put his thoughts in a form for publication.

The Devil In Britain and America

The Devil In Britain and America

Printed: 14.99 $eBook: 3.99 $

To my thinking, all modern English books on the Devil and his works are unsatisfactory. They all run in the same groove, give the same cases of witchcraft, and, moreover, not one of them is illustrated. I have endeavoured to remedy this by localizing my facts, and by reproducing all the engravings I could find suitable to my purpose.
I have also tried to give a succinct account of demonology and witchcraft in England and America, by adducing authorities not usually given, and by a painstaking research into old cases, carefully taking everything from original sources, and bringing to light very many cases never before republished.

A Treatise on Probability

A Treatise on Probability

Printed: 22.99 $eBook: 4.99 $

The subject matter of this book was first broached in the brain of Leibniz, who, in the dissertation, written in his twenty-third year, on the mode of electing the kings of Poland, conceived of Probability as a branch of Logic. A few years before, “un problème,” in the words of Poisson, “proposé à un austère janséniste par un homme du monde, a été l’origine du calcul des probabilitiés.” In the intervening centuries the algebraical exercises, in which the Chevalier de la Méré interested Pascal, have so far predominated in the learned world over the profounder enquiries of the philosopher into those processes of human faculty which, by determining reasonable preference, guide our choice, that Probability is oftener reckoned with Mathematics than with Logic. There is much here, therefore, which is novel and, being novel, unsifted, inaccurate, or deficient. I propound my systematic conception of this subject for criticism and enlargement at the hand of others, doubtful whether I myself am likely to get much further, by waiting longer, with a work, which, beginning as a Fellowship Dissertation, and interrupted by the war, has already extended over many years.

David Ames Wells (1828-1898), a prominent American financial economist, political activist and apostle of laissez faire, was a staunch advocate of free trade and the abolition of the tariff. "Wells wrote a large number of books, pamphlets, and articles ...

His discussion of all of these took character from his inspection of American economic life, which was marked in his period by progressive lowering of costs of production through the application of science.

EXPLORING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE

As a high school student trying to navigate my way through my rigorous academic ambitions; in the years leading up to my university applications, I was always faced with the big question of “ what do you plan to study in university?”. Trying to find an answer to this major life question I explored many different subjects and found my curiosity and passion for economics. That is when I started conducting research with different organisations, expanding my knowledge by exploring ongoing economic developments and issues. In this book, I have combined three of my research which meet at one point , how arising issues and developments shape our global economic landscape by fostering growth, resilience and community driven solutions. My main goal in creating this book was to raise awareness and spark discussion about the economy in highschool students with the hope of increasing knowledge possessed by my peers about such important topics. I hope you, my dear reader, enjoy reading this book and close the last page with knowledge that you can pass onto others.
