The Hedge School

By William Carleton

Release : 2018-08-15

Genre : Fiction & Literature, Books, Fairy Tales, Myths & Fables

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
Excerpt: "There never was a more unfounded calumny, than that which would impute to the Irish peasantry an indifference to education. I may, on the contrary, fearlessly assert that the lower orders of no country ever manifested such a positive inclination for literary acquirements, and that, too, under circumstances strongly calculated to produce carelessness and apathy on this particular subject."
