The author uses both quantitative and qualitative evidence to examine the biological bases of the social history of Paris during the first half of the nineteenth century.

Rapid population increase and changing demographic characteristics are discussed as factors contributing to crime and patterns of fertility mortality and migration are analyzed (ANNOTATION)
