================ HES POSTING ======================== The next message posted to the list will be a new "guest editorial" in the HES series. This one is "The Talk of the Town in 1798," by Henk Plasmeijer. Given the current reappraisal of Malthus under way (see Sam Hollander's new book on Malthus and _Riches and Poverty_, by Donald Winch), Plasmeijer's contribution should be of interest to many on the list. Plasmeijer's editorial is available on the web at http://www.eh.net/HisEcSoc/Resources/Editorials/Plasmeijer where you will also find an accompanying diagram. Discussion of the editorial will be added to that site, as well as in the regular HES list archive. I am seeking more editorials, and would welcome recommendations (including self-nominations!) from members of the list. Ross B.
