On some comparative statistics of Irish counties, compiled from the returns obtained during the late census and the census of 1841, and other publications issued by the General Register Office of Ireland

Abstract

In the following statement I wish to bring under review a number of statistics which I have arranged since the completion of the Census of 1881. These statistics are not altogether derived from the census reports, but are to some extent extracted from the other publications issued by the General Register Office of Ireland. The main features are founded on comparisons instituted between the years 1841 and 1881, as derived from the census enumerations of these periods.
