Griffith's Background
Richard John Griffith started to value land in Scotland, where he spent two years in 1806-1807 valuing terrain through the examination of its soils. He used 'the Scotch system of valuation' and it was a modified version of this which he was to introduce into Ireland when he assumed the Office of Commissioner of Valuation.
