The author reviews the conclusions of Wachter Hammel and Laslett (see 45: Title 2614) regarding the social values associated with preindustrial household formation in England. She discusses the value of the approach taken by the authors and examines the appropriateness and accuracy of their methodology.

期刊介绍:
Historical Methodsreaches an international audience of social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information.
