First Edition. Octavo (13 cm x 18.5 cm). VIII, 906 pages. Original Hardcover (Publisher's blindstamped cloth with gilt lettering and ornament to spine). Very good and firm condition with some minor signs of wear only. This is one of the most important and rarest sources for Statistics in Ireland in 1845 and one year prior of The Great Famine [Gorta Mór / Irish Potato Famine].

Folding Tables show "Name, Situation, Extent, Number of Electoral Divisionsand of Guardians in every Union in Ireland; also the Number for whom House Accommodation has been provided, the Data of opening of every Workhouse, with the number in each on 1st of January, 1844, the average Number relieved daily etc. etc." Statistics show List of Articles Imported and Exported (Net Produce of Molasses, Hemp, Rice as well as Exports of Corn, Grain, Lard, Horses etc.) The Statistics are detailed and thorough and list results from Skibbereen to Belfast.
