The extensive comparison between Malthus's 'Essay' and Martineau's 'Illustrations' reveals that she did more than just reproduce the ideas of her friend and mentor.Although she generally adhered to his logic, she differed significantly on certain aspects concerning the question of how to deal with overpopulation. On the one hand, she omits several of Malthus's impractical suggestions. On the other hand, she placed particular emphasis on the role of education, which would enable efficiency gains.
