Overview

Excerpt from Records of the School of Mines and of Science Applied to the Arts, Vol. 1: Part III. On the Mines of Wicklow and Wexford The county of Wicklow has long enjoyed a celebrity due no less to its mines and minerals than to the natural beauties which adorn its landscapes: the copper ores of the Vale of Ovoca attracted attention at a very early period, and the gold which was discovered towards the close of the last century, excited great interest among all classes on both sides of the Channel. At the present day the mineral produce of the county may in some respects be less abundant than heretofore, but in others it has been much increased; and independently of the intrinsic value of the substances thus realized, the constant employment of a very large number of the working classes invests the subject with great importance.
