Excerpt from The History of the Survey of Ireland, Commonly Called the Down Survey

It had long been known that Sir W. Petty had left an account of the Down Survey. He refers to it in several of his writings, and makes mention of it in his "Last Will and Testament," published with the volume of his Tracts, printed in Dublin, 1769. In his "Reflections upon some Persons and Things in Ireland," he states: "A fourth treatise I have, far greater than any of those above mentioned, being an history of the survey and distribution of the forfeited lands in Ireland, and with all a series of my own services and sufferings with reference thereunto, and to that nation; which work consists chiefly of all Acts of Parliament, resolves of all general assemblies of the army, orders of the Council, acts of councils of war, results of committees, petitions of agents, references, reports and accounts, &c., relating to all and singular the premises.

In his will the following occurs: "I value my three chests of original maps and field-books, the copies of the Down Survey, with the barony maps, and the chest of distribution books, with two chests of loose papers relating to the survey, the two great barony books, and the Book of the History of the Down Survey, altogether, at �3000."

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. A remarkable historical perspective on Ireland's Down Survey, this book offers an unparalleled glimpse into the political and military landscape of 17th century Ireland. Against the backdrop of the 1653 Act of Parliament, the author explores the motivations and strategies of key players and the motivations behind the survey of Ireland, providing a window into the minds of the era. Through extensive research and analysis, including letters, instructions, orders and reports, the book illuminates the challenges faced by Dr. Petty and his team, and their influence on the subsequent Cromwellian land redistribution programme and the dispossessed Irish landowners. Ultimately, this book highlights the lasting impact of the Down Survey on understanding and shaping the social and economic fabric of Ireland.
