Data from d'Angeville (1836) on the population of France
Description
Adolph d'Angeville (1836) presented a comprehensive statistical
summary of nearly every known measurable characteristic of the French
population (by department) in his Essai sur la Statistique de la Population francaise.
Using the graphic method of shaded (choropleth) maps
invented by Baron Charles Dupin and applied to significant social questions
by Guerry, Angeville's Essai became the
first broad and general application of principles of graphic representation
to national industrial and population data.
The collection of variables in the data frame Angeville
is a small subset of over 120 columns presented in 8 tables and many
graphic maps.

Details
ID codes for dept were modified from those in Angeville's tables
to match those used in Guerry.
Angeville's variables are recorded in a variety of different ways and some of
these were calculated from other columns in his tables not included here. As
well, the variable names and labels used here were often shortened from the more
complete descriptions given by d'Angeville. The notation "(Tn:k)" indicates that
the variable used here came from Table n, Column k.

The data was digitally scanned from Angeville's tables using OCR software,
then extensively edited to correct obvious errors and finally subjected to some
consistency checks using the column totals and ranked values he provided.
