"Is Man Too Prolific? The So-Called Malthusian Idea" (1891) delves into the contentious theories of Thomas Robert Malthus concerning population growth and its societal implications. H.S. Pomeroy offers a critical examination of Malthus's principles, exploring the anxieties surrounding overpopulation and its potential consequences for resource scarcity and social stability.

The book provides insights into the intellectual landscape of the era, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities presented by a growing global population. It remains relevant for those interested in the history of demographic thought and the enduring questions surrounding humanity's relationship with its environment.
