Remarkable prophecy of Corbett in old Dublin debate
A London letter traces Cobbett’s 1826 remark on Ireland’s potato era and a shift to grain crops. It recalls Dr Smith noting Ireland’s 8 million acres underused, the potato’s decline within twenty years, and a hope Ireland return to wheat and oats. Multiple aged anecdotes and a Post Office suppression note conclude in a Commerce Journal citation.
