Before the Great Famine reshaped Irish life, Edward Wakefield travelled the length and breadth of the island to capture its realities in numbers, observations and hard-won insight. An Account Of Ireland, Statistical And Political (Volume I) stands as a sweeping historical survey of Ireland at the start of the nineteenth century, combining rigorous statistical study of Ireland with vivid attention to daily conditions. Every page brims with detail. From the structure of the Irish population to patterns of land tenure in Ireland, from agriculture and emerging industry to trade, prices and poor relief, Wakefield assembles a painstaking portrait of pre-famine Ireland history that speaks directly to questions of political economy of Ireland still debated today. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this landmark inquiry in Irish agriculture and industry and Irish population statistics has long been recognised as one of the great Irish economic history classics. Restored for today's and future generations, it serves equally as a reference book for Irish historians, a primary source for Ireland research, and a compelling read for anyone drawn to early nineteenth-century Ireland in all its complexity. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, ideal for readers building a classic Irish history collection or for curious newcomers seeking to understand how Ireland once measured, managed and imagined itself.
