The first full-length study of the management of a great Irish estate during a critical period in the country's economical and social history. It is based on research into hitherto neglected original sources, namely the records and correspondence of the landowners themselves. This book deals particularly with the management of the Downshire Estates under the third Marquis of Downshire, a remarkably devoted and efficient administrator of his famly's scattered property; but it also contains much interesting comparative material from the records of other estates and from the extensive literature on the subject. - from the jacket.
