Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XX. WEXFORD. Having, in some of the foregoing pages, noticed the reclamations and improvements which have been effected in the Wexford Harbour, and having indulged my anticipations regarding the advantages that are likely to arise by the opening of the bridge free to the public, perhaps it may not be considered superfluous to say a few words in reference to the town itself. Wexford can be seen to the greatest advantage from the Ferrybank side, and especially from the height which stands immediately south of Ely House. The site of the town may be said to extend somewhat more than a mile and a half from north to south, and presents the appearance of a long and straggling place, its breadth bearing no just proportion to its length. It is bounded on the east by the Slaney, which spreads itself considerably after passing through the bridge, and forms the harbour. On the west it is bounded by a gentle elevation, which affords shelter from the prevailing westerly winds. The northern boundary is formed by a stream, which flows in front of the Union House, and discharges itself into the Slaney at Carcur; while the southern boundary is defined by another stream, that runs south of the demesne of Eocklands, and falls into the harbour. These were the old and the natural limits of the town. The new or parliamentary boundaries were prepared under the direction of the government immediately previous to the passing of the Eeform Bill in 1832. They were marked out by the celebrated Mr. Drummond, who was afterwards Under-Secretary for Ireland, and have been adopted by the government in issuing the new charter of incorporation to the town, under the provisions of the late Municipal Act. The north and south extremities of the ancient borough have...

Over seven million people left Ireland over the course of the nineteenth century. This book is the first to put that huge population change in its religious context, by asking how the Irish Catholic, Anglican and Presbyterian churches responded to mass emigration. Did they facilitate it, object to it, or limit it? Were the three Irish churches themelves changed by this demographic upheaval? Focusing on the effects of emigration on Ireland rather than its diaspora, and merging two of the most important phenomena in the story of modern Ireland – mass emigration and religious change – this study offers new insights into both nineteenth-century Irish history and historical migration studies in general. Its five thematic chapters lead to a conclusion that, on balance, emigration determined the churches’ fates to a far greater extent than the churches determined emigrants’ fates.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The harmony between great castles and their ornamental grounds is rarely seen in such perfect form as at Johnstown Castle. The gardens and grounds were designed by Daniel Robertson, of Powerscourt fame, assisted by Martin Day. The castle itself was home to two prominent Wexford families, the Esmondes and the Grogans, who have between them occupied the grounds from the fifteenth century right up to 1945. Today the castle is owned by Teagasc, the Agricultural and Food Development Authority, who manage the estate and provide access to the public. This book is the first published history of the castle, and in these pages author, historian and Wexford native Liam Gaul, explores the development of this imposing aspect of Wexford and national heritage from its earliest beginnings.
