Ireland Population and Land Use Compared in Ridiculous Math
A rambling piece mocks a bygone calculation of Ireland’s population and land area, suggesting over two acres per person, then compares English density. It cites a Treasury reply from 1623 about abolishing sugar permits and recounts a farcical tale of a Belfast illicit spirits arrest ending with the offender escaping after a dramatic confrontation.
