The authors examine "four key sources for the study of population [of England] in the later seventeenth century: the assessments and/or returns for the Hearth tax Compton census Poll taxes and Marriage Duty Act. It provides details of the legislative background and administrative framework for these important sources and discusses some of the main problems involved in their use and interpretation. Subsequent chapters illustrate how the surviving documents can be applied to illuminate various research issues. These include the social structure of the City of London the household composition of Kings Lynn the distribution of nonconformity in Devon some regional variations in household structure and critiques of the work of Gregory King."
