Résumé
In a certain respect, the discipline called demography inherits the Political Arithmetick school founded in the mid-seventeenth century by William Petty. However, it emerged as a special branch of knowledge only in the mid-nineteenth century. It was named by Achille Guillard in 1854, a physician fond of population statistics. At that time, morphology had nothing to do with demography, but rather politics, health and economy (see morphology).
