The text presents a comprehensive exploration of mortality through various lenses, structured into three main parts. The first section focuses on global mortality as a reflection of the total population, beginning with an overview of mortality in Grenoble from 1848 to 1850. It includes an analysis of the legal and economic status of the deceased, leading to key conclusions. The second part examines child and juvenile mortality, highlighting its significance in relation to the corresponding population. It covers global trends in child mortality, the geographical distribution of child deaths and its social implications, and the geographic origins of the deceased, addressing the issue of peripheral transfers to urban centers. Additionally, it discusses centrifugal migration patterns from Grenoble to surrounding areas. The final section delves into adult mortality, reflecting on the demographic, legal, and economic status of deceased individuals across different social categories. It analyzes the overall mortality structure, social stratification, and geographic localization of deaths, while also considering immigration and emigration trends. The text concludes with an appendix containing relevant documents, tables, graphs, and maps, along with a bibliography and a detailed table of contents.
