The aim of this book is to demonstrate both the difficulties and
the opportunities which the accumulation of statistical information
in economically advanced countries offers for studying
nineteenth-century society in depth. The chief emphasis is upon
quantitative methods of analysis. The main focus of the attention
is the census - what information was required on census night; how
the information was collected; how accurately and completely
population characteristics were recorded, the problems which arise
in attempting to use either the published census volumes or the
enumerators' books; and the techniques which have proved useful in
analysis. Related topics covered include the study of family
structure, the use of information about occupation, the measurement
of migration, criminal statistics, educational provision and
sampling in historical research.
