Book excerpt: "The Memoirs are a uniquely detailed source for the history of the northern half of Ireland immediately before the Great Famine. They were written in the 1930's to accompany the 6" ordnance survey maps, but with one exception were not published at the time. In this new edition they act as a nineteenth century Domesday book and are essential to the understanding of the cultural heritage of our communities. The Memoirs document the landscape and situation, buildings, and antiquities, land-holdings and population, employment and livelihood of the parishes."--Back cover.
