Demography of Early Modern Towns: York in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

Redressing the imbalance between research on evolving urban as vs. rural demography in the early modern period (c. 1540-1700), Galley (U. of Liverpool presumably) presents a tri-level case study of the residents of England's "second city" encompassing: individual vital statistics, aggregate data, and York within a national and European socioeconomic context. Appends data on guild members' occupations and individual parish contributions to the aggregate data. Portions of the book first appeared in journals from 1994-95. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
