Life Author of Six Letters on the Subject of Irish Education (1832): [describes hedge schools as:] receptacles of rags and penury, in
which a semi-barbarous peasantry acquired the rudiments of reading, writing, Irish history and high treason. (Cited in P. J. Dowling, A History of Irish Education: A Study in Conflicting Loyalties, Mercier 1971; quoted in Dominic Murray, Worlds Apart: Segregated Schools in Northern Ireland, Appletree Press 1985, p.15.)
