Historical demography examples

Notable examples are Josiah Russell’s ( 1948) classic British Medieval Population, John Brownlee’s ( 1915) study of birth and death rates in England and Wales beginning in 1570, and Talbot Griffith’s ( 1926) Population Problems of theAgeof Malthus

There are important continuities between these works and later studies in historical demography

Although it is widely accepted that historical demography was established by the French demographer L

Henry in the 1950s, interest in population history had existed long before the twentieth century, and many researchers engaged in the study of past population changes and made great contributions to the development of historical demography
