An account of the manor of Kilmoon, and the copyhold tenure existing there
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)It is generally supposed that there are no copyhold lands in Ireland, though at one time they were not altogether unknown. The only mention of their existence in modern times, that I have found, is in Vance and Ferguson's ... -

Continental land banks and land registers

A description of the system of registration and transfer of land titles and securities in the Canton Vaud
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1890)The introduction of a Land Transfer Bill for England, and of a Bill to establish Local Registries of Title in Ireland, mark a distinct advance in public opinion on this important question, which, though often the subject ... -
Graduated taxation in Switzerland

On some of the difficulties in the way of creating a peasant proprietary in Ireland

On the economic theory of rent

On the valuation of property for taxation
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)In a former paper on valuation I mentioned the fact that in both England and Ireland large country houses are generally assessed at very low rates. This low rating, however, is not confined to country houses; there are ... -
On the valuation of real property for taxation

On the valuation of real property for taxation
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)Thus in Ireland there are two different principles embodied in the Valuation Acts?one for the valuation of land, the other for the valuation of buildings; and the latter is the principle upon which the valuation of all ... -
Recent statistics of French rural economy
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1889)It is the practice in France to have, in addition to annual returns, a general agricultural enquiry or census every ten years. The last began in 1882, but its results were only published this year. This delay, due to ... -

(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1885)The demand for legislation to facilitate the lending of public money on small plots of land in Ireland?a demand which is beginning to be made for England also?and the repeated failures to give effect to this demand in ...
