Abstract

Depicts the social status of the 19th century accountant as revealed by the 1851 census of the UK for Devon, Norfolk and Warwickshire. Counts the number of accountants and their density, and their status within the family (including female accountants). Includes their professional titles, and the position in the firmm. Shows how many servants they had compared to other occupations, the occupations of their womenfolk, and of their neighbours. Concludes that accountants' life styles were closer to those of clerks and artisans than to those of the professions.
