Beauvais is in the XVIII th century an important textile centre around control a wide wool area. But this medium-sized town, of around 12,000 inhabitants, had not, like many others, been the subject of a systematic urban population approach. The demographic study proposed here by Jean Ganiage is based on an exhaustive analysis of the old civil status. In addition to detailed analyses of nuptiality, birth rate, fertility and mortality, and sometimes very lively reconstructions of the city and its inhabitants, the author highlights, in a significant way, a rapid decrease in the population. fertility from the middle of the 18th century. At the end of the reign of Louis XV the city had just repaired the losses that had put him through the crises of the late XVII th century.
