>From failteromhat.... " Pigot & Co's directory goes through the towns of Ireland alphabetically. It lists a detailed description of the town or city, post office information and shows the names of nobility and gentry living in or close to the town. The traders of each town are arranged according to their trade. Pigot & Co's Directory was first published in 1820." I have to say the detailed descriptions of the towns and cities are a great read and give a good insight into the times.
