Teeltplan, produktie en produktiekosten. De landbouw in enkele gemeenten van de provincies Antwerpen en Oost-Vlaanderen (begin 19e eeuw).
Cultivation-Plan, Production And Production-Costs Agriculture In A Few Municipalities Of The Provinces Of Antwerp And East-Flanders (Early 19th Century): Since the middle of the 19th century censuses of the cultivated area, the crop-quantities and the yield-factors obtained have no more been exceptional.

L'habitation, phénomène économique et social.

On the basis of these descriptions, one can find out about the cultivation, the relative value of the different kinds of land, the number and importance of the buildings used for industry, the houses, etc.

Social Hierarchy In Housing. Antwerp About 1834: How rich are rich people, how poor are poor people ? This is a much vexing question, especially when asked for the last century. The problem is to construct a kind of pyramid, where everyone has a definite place according to his wealth or lack of it. But how to build such a pyramid ? The authors started from the assumption, that there exists a correlation between the value of the habitation of the invidual and his financial situation.
