Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical and literary context of the 1852-1853 Registration Report, Rhode Island's first official collection of birth, marriage, and death records. Beginning with a survey of colonial-era legislation on marriage (1647-1665) and registration (1698-1727), the author traces the development of Rhode Island's registration laws into the 19th century amidst a growing sanitary movement and concerns over public health. The author provides a detailed analysis of the report, categorizing the causes of death, occupations of the deceased, and discussing the role of age and gender in mortality rates. Through mortality tables and a geographical breakdown of the data, the report reveals valuable information about the health and social conditions of Rhode Island during a time of significant change. The insights gleaned from this report were essential to the development of public health policy and have lasting significance for understanding population dynamics and improving community health.
