Excerpt from "Articles" Of Irish Manufacture, or Portions of Cork History I have sent copies of the annexed Circular and Schedule to several gentlemen, and it is my intention to forward cupies of the same to manynthers. Lennie most mostly request that those to whom I shall have sent them will not neglect to do their duty.

Having myself determined to draw up such a list for the County (and City) of Cork, may I request, that you will, should you approve of my resolution - assist me in the execu-f mm of it, by filling up tile subjoined Schedule according to your knowledge. I have the honor to be, Sir. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
