Description
From the 1841 census, the author has constructed a ten-variable index of the quality of life in each of Ireland's thirty-two counties and four provinces. The index is repeated for 1861. The empirical-statistical perspective is supplemented by narrative accounts. Includes illustrations from The Illustrated London News, the Pictorial Times, and the humor magazine Punch.
