"In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries a rapid rise in the population of Britain coincided with an unprecedented growth in the economy. Was the rise in population due primarily to a rise in the birth-rate or a fall in the death-rate? Were changes in these rates the product of economic or social factors? How did the growth of population affect Britain's economic and social development? The analysis of these changes has invoked the skills of many social scientists, and the contributions to this volume are drawn from economics, sociology, social statistics, economic and social history, and historical demography." -- National Library of Australia.
