Crosby’s recent study of American historical demography is blithely base

问题         Crosby’s recent study of American historical demography is blithely based
    on the reconstitution of the records of single parishes, a method that often
    excludes migrants.  Moreover, it is troublesome for historians to obtain
    information on the birthdates of people who relocated to the parish, and equally
(5)  difficult to follow those who had migrated to new places of residence. Thus, the
    exclusion of migrants also followed from the way spatial units were once
    conceived by the parishioners themselves, a stable and unchanging pre-modern
    countryside of interchangeable towns unlike "modern" flows to cities.
        As a result, migration was improperly assumed to be irrelevant because the
(10) small units in the countryside were interchangeable and migrants into a parish
    could thus stand as a proxy for those who had left. In any case, it was thought
    that migration in the countryside was repetitive and occurred only in response to
    life course events, such as finding a spouse, and thus, like the parishioners
    themselves, Crosby complacently equates the demographics of migrants to those
(15) of more sedimentary populations.
