About this title

Synopsis

Unlock the story of Cork’s countryside through a 1800s statistical survey that ties data to practical improvement.

This edition compiles Horatio Townsend’s county-wide observations on land, agriculture, industry, and living conditions, framed by the Dublin Society’s patronage. It aims to inform readers about the state and potential of the region, from farming practices to natural resources, with an eye toward progress and public welfare.

The book presents a detailed portrait of the county’s geography, farms, and villages, and discusses roads, trade, and local institutions. It blends descriptive scenery with practical guidance, including notes on cattle, crops, and grasses, as well as early thoughts on mineral resources and infrastructure.

Learn how land use, tenure, and farming methods interact with local markets and wages.
Explore discussions of soil, pasture, and meadow grasses, plus early notes on implements and machinery.
See the role of local leaders and societies in promoting improvements and education.
Discover appended material that surveys native grasses and the practicalities of hay and pasture management.

Ideal for readers curious about historical agricultural surveys, regional development, and how 19th‑century county reports framed progress for communities.
