Guide to the County of Wicklow by R.N. Wright 1827

This travel guide was intended for visitors of the county who wished to follow a serpentine route from Dublin to Arklow, back north to Enniskerry and south again to Baltinglass. The book with its descriptions of the towns, landscape, people and culture of Wicklow is a snapshot of the county twenty years after the 1798 rebellion and twenty years before the calamity of the Great Irish Potato Famine.

Fraser, Robert. General view of the agriculture and mineralogy, present state and circumstances of the County Wicklow. Dublin: Graisberry and Campbell, 1801.

Robert Fraser's General View of the County Wicklow was published in 1801 and concerns itself principally with agricultural and mining activity in the region. It also covers a diverse range of other general subjects such as population, towns and villages, navigation and transport, education, manufacturing and the welfare of the common people. The work gives a revealing insight into County Wicklow society at the turn of the 19th century immediately in the wake of the 1798 rebellion.
