A FACTOR OVERLOOKED BY THE PHILOSOPHES: THE POPULATION EXPLOSION. Offprint from Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century. XXIV/XXVII: 1963 (Transactions of the first International congress on the Enlightenment).

First edition. Publisher's original grey card wrappers with titles in black to the front cover. 24pp. A very good copy, the binding firm with a little toning and shelf wear to the extremities. The contents with some scattered pencil annotations (including "Received from Huxley 4-3-64" to the verso of the front cover) are otherwise in very good order and clean throughout.

A consideration of the consequences of a rapidly growing global population during both the Enlightenment and today by the English evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887-1975).
