Abstract
The range of life-styles of children in nineteenth century Britain is discussed. Concepts of quality-of-life are reviewed and a model for nineteenth century children is formulated. Annual data in three domains are indexed to 1914. Sub-indexes for these domains and a total index are presented and compared with the full index.
