Pigot's Commercial Directory of Ireland, 1824
This is one of earliest full commercial directories of Ireland, and includes over 220 urban centres throughout the island. Organised by Province, and then town, it lists all the principal office holders, gentry, professionals, tradesmen, hotels, schools, public institutions, churches, and even pubs for each town in Ireland. There is a description of each Province and town as well.
This was Pigot's much-expanded second edition (the previous version dated 1820) and is now extremely rare. The collection is organised into four sections, by province, with additional details for Dublin:
- Leinster & Dublin
- Connaught
- Munster
- Ulster
