- Abstract
This article presents information on various periodical articles on the English economic history that were published in 1968. The medieval English economy seems to have taken less space than usual in the journals in 1968. Two articles on the history of settlement, reportedly, appeared in the journal "Agricultural History Review." One of those is E.A. Pocock's "The First Fields in an Oxfordshire Parish," which investigates the fields of Clanfield with the keen eye of a practising farmer plus an enthusiastic use of archaeological and documentary evidence. This is an interesting attempt to put the settlement pattern of a single parish under the microscope to get a chronology of cultivation and use. The other article is B.K. Roberts's "Study of Medieval Colonization in the Forest of Arden, Warwickshire," which is a collection of deeds and related documents. Historical demographers and others in recent years have begun to dispel a little of the thick mist obscuring the demography of early modern England and the relationships between population and other economic variables. Of special interest is a report by economist E.A. Wrigley on Colyton, "Mortality in Pre-Industrial England: The Example of Colyton, Devon, Over Three Centuries," which presents the methods and results of a family reconstitution study of mortality, both infant and adult.
