Edinburgh Review.—‘'It constitutes by far the best account of the industrial resources of Ireland which has appeared since Sir Robert Kane’s valuable work on the subject was published more than half-a-century back. Asa survey of the existing situation and immediate prospects of the country it will possess almost as much value for the student half-a-century hence as is possessed by that useful and insufficiently known work, Wakefield’s Account of Ireland, Political and Statistical, in relation to the condition of the country at the commencement of the nineteenth century.”’ Investor’s Review.—“‘ One is so accustomed in England to hear about the dark side of Irish affairs, and it alone, that a book of this description comes with a pleasant sensation of surprise. . . . It forms a handsome and appropriately illustrated volume of upwards of 500 pages, including a full and excellent index. .. . Wecannot attempt to review the work now, but the brief examination we have been able to bestow upon its pages, warrants us in recommending it cordially as a book of refer- ence to all interested in the welfare of the sister island. ... The cost of this magnificent work is only 5s., and as a reference book it ought to be in every public library.”
