Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the agricultural and economic landscape of County Cavan, Ireland, during a pivotal period in its history. Rooted in the tradition of statistical surveys that emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the author meticulously examines the region's topography, land ownership, farming practices, infrastructure, and the lives of its inhabitants. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a society grappling with the legacies of colonialism and striving for modernization. The author sheds light on the complex interplay between the established landed gentry and the tenant farmers who worked the land. Issues of land tenure, rent, and tithes are explored, revealing the economic challenges and disparities that shaped rural life. This book offers profound insights into the agricultural practices of the time, detailing the cultivation of crops like oats and potatoes, the use of manure and lime, and the challenges posed by the region's hilly terrain. The author emphasizes the importance of drainage, enclosure, and improved farming techniques, advocating for a shift towards more productive and sustainable methods. Ultimately, this work transcends a mere statistical account, offering a compelling portrait of a community in transition. Its insights into the social, economic, and agricultural realities of County Cavan provide valuable historical context for understanding the forces that shaped rural Ireland and its people.
