Excerpt from Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, Vol. 32: November 1866 Of course it may be said, in reply to this, that the railways have been made and are worked by the companies, and that the present system ought not to be interfered with unless a very good case can be made out for doing so. N o doubt this is true: it is my present purpose to Show that such a case does exist. But let me first speak of the general theory of the subject.

Excerpt from Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1866, Vol. 31 I have answered, with pleasure, the call which has been made upon me, as Vice President of your Society, to address you on the open ing of this, its nineteenth session. Unfortunately for myself, the pressure of many engagements has heretofore deprived me of the great advantage, which is con ferr d by habitual attendance at your meetings. I have rarely bee able to be present at them; and I am not, perhaps, qualified to speak of your history or appreciate your labours, as I ought. But' I do not think myself justified, on that account, in declining the responsibility you invite me to assume. Each of us should strive to do his best, according to his circumstances, in the position he has taken In the world. We are not at liberty to abstain from practical action, because we cannot lift ourselves to the level of our own ideal; and no vanity is more intolerable, than that which cloaks its morbid ness under the show of modest self-distrust. Though with a full sense of my shortcomings in an unfamiliar field, I do not hesitate to approach my appointed task; somewhat sustained by the remem brance, that I have striven to co-operate with your endeavours in the sphere of action from which I have lately passed; and that I have never ceased to sympathise with your aspirations, and admire the constitution and procedure of your Association.

Excerpt from Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, Vol. 57: Thirty-Fourth Session; January, 1881 Ireland - including 78 in Clare, 23 in Leitrim, 4 in King's County, and none at all in Fermanagh.' Such figures, and the remarkable variety in the number of the reports from medical officers of health with very similar districts, prove that a much closer inspectional system is required; and the same might be more forcibly said as regards supervision of vaccination, which in England is so thoroughly organized. Last year, out of every thousand in Ireland, 196 were reported to have died but in many districts, especially those sparsely peopled, numerous deaths were not recorded. AS in England, Speedy regis tration should be compulsory - no interment being allowed until the undertaker had produced a certificate of the death and its cause. In this way medical aid is secured for infants and aged or infirm persons who might otherwise be neglected, if burial without certification were possible. Persons qualified to discover the causes of death should be alone recognised. In some English counties 7 or 8, and in Wales 11 per cent. Of the deaths are not certified. Deaths are closely pro portional to density of population therefore, while last year the rate was in Galway County 16, it Was 35 in Dublin. But such urban excess is reducible. For instance, London that well sanitated city, has a third less mortality than that due to it according to congestion of inhabitants. Of our large towns, Sligo had the lowest rate namely 21; but such figures cannot be fairly compared with those of Dublin. The people of Sligo district cover an area of acres; our occupy but acres. Even within the Dublin Registration District similar sources of fallacy arise. For instance, in Blackrock sub-district - for persons the acreage is nearly 3 in the Coleraine-street sub-district the population is the area about 400 acres, or a condensation 12 times greater. The seven Registrar's districts in Dublin do not appear to have been separately surveyed. The death-rate last year appears as 38 in this dense population, 19 in the suburban one, in the crowded parts of which I neverthless know purlieus as deadly as any about Coleraine-street. Much more might be adduced to Show how greatly needed as sanitary and probably political measures are the unification of areas for fiscal, electoral, and registration purposes, and the differentiation of those that are urban and those mainly rural.

Excerpt from Journal of the Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, Vol. 9: Part LXXI; September 1891 If by extra labour he doubled all produce of his bit of land, or if he prudently abstained from producing mouths to eat it up, his only gain would be to have more left to pay his landlord, While if he had twenty children they would still be fed first, and the landlord could only take what was left. Almost alone amongst mankind the cottier is in this condition - that he can scarcely be better or worse off by any act of his own. If he were industrious or prudent nobody but his land lord would gain if he is lazy or intemperate, it is not at his landlord's expense. A situation more devoid of motives to extra labour or self command, imagination itself cannot conceive. The inducements to free labour are taken away and those of a slave not substituted. He has nothing to hope or nothing to fear, except being dispossessed of his holding, and against that he protects himself by the ultima ratio of a defensive civil war. Bookism and Whiteboyism were the determina tion of a people who had nothing that could be called theirs but a daily meal of the lowest description of food, not to submit to being deprived of it for other people's convenience. - Political Economy, Book II.
