A Journey Throughout Ireland, During the Spring, Summer and Autumn of 1834: Vol. 1, Part 1

Part I of Henry D. Inglis' ""A Journey throughout Ireland, During the Spring, Summer and Autumn of 1834"", Vol. I is an account of Inglis' journey from Dublin, through Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Cork. His mission was to establish if Ireland was an 'improving county' and his detailed observations are of great interest to family and local historians as they give important insights into living standards in both towns and country, as well as the relationship between the gentry, middlemen and the tenantry of the time. To make this important text as accessible as possible and yet remain faithful to the original, Clachan editors have edited it carefully, updating certain disused symbols, spelling and punctuation. We have also provided an index and scholarly footnotes.
