Recent concern with economic growth has led not only to a vast
increase in the quantity and quality of statistics collected and
published, but also to an upsurge of interest in the statistics of
the past. As attention has turned more and more to the study of the
comparative development of different countries, so a need has been
felt for a collection of historical statistics comparing different
nations. This work meets the need as far as the Americas is
concerned. 'A landmark for the economic historian.It is seldom that
a publication truly deserves the name of a pioneering book. This
one does' English Historical Review 'No economic library should be
without it' Economic Journal.

In this much longer sequel to his earlier collection of Scots-Irish
Links, Parts 1 & 2, David Dobson sheds more light on a segment
of the 100,000 Scotsmen who were re-settled by the British
government in the Irish Plantation of Ulster during the 17th
century. Drawing upon sources not consulted for the earlier volume,
Mr. Dobson has come up with an additional 2,500 mostly Lowland
Scots who re-settled in Ulster--in most instances prior to 1700. As
with Scots-Irish Links, Parts 1 & 2, university students
predominate among.
Based on notebooks compiled during the famous Ordnance Survey of
Ireland (1835-1846), these lists have been extracted, arranged
under parish, and alphabetized, and they identify the emigrant's
destination and his place of origin in Ireland--key pieces of
information for anyone tracing his Irish ancestry. In addition, the
age, town and address, year of emigration, and religious
denomination are given for the more than 3,000 emigrants listed.
