Notes
The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure began analysis in 1964 of English parish registers, as the basis for the statistics which eventually led to this book. These statistics have usually been published earlier in such periodicals as "Population Studies," etc.
Includes index.
"This is the first historical and sociological examination of bastardy ... during a four hundred year span ... the authors find: (1) distinct temporal and regional patterns in illegitimacy, as regular as those of fertility and mortality, and they suggest that fluctuations reflect changes in the efficacy of marriage; (2) a rise in the proportion of illegitimate births interrupted by two interludes of decline; (3) little impact of urbanization and industrialization on bastardy rates in Western Europe." Cf. fly-leaf of paper cover.
