Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and state of County Monaghan, Ireland, in the early 19th century. The author, writing under the direction of the Dublin Society, provides a detailed account of the county's geography, population, and economy, with particular attention paid to agriculture. The work is heavily influenced by the prevalent ideas of the time regarding the improvement of Irish society and the development of its economy. The author examines the county's resources, from its fertile lands to its mineral wealth, with the clear aim of stimulating economic progress. The book explores the different types of land tenure and farming practices in use, as well as the challenges faced by the county's inhabitants, such as poverty, limited access to education, and the enduring legacy of the 1798 rebellion. The author's observations on the state of the church in County Monaghan offer a particularly intriguing insight into the social and religious realities of the period. The book serves as a valuable primary source for understanding the complexities of Irish society in the years following the Act of Union.
