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.

The Hedge School; The Midnight Mass; The Donagh Traits And Stories Of The Irish Peasantry, The Works of William Carleton, Volume Three by William Carleton 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. Nay, I do maintain, that he who is intimately acquainted with the character of our countrymen, must acknowledge that their zeal for book learning, not only is strong and ardent, when opportunities of scholastic education occur, but that it increases in proportion as these opportunities are rare and unattainable.

The Hedge School; The Midnight Mass; The Donagh Traits and Stories of the Irish

"The Hedge School; The Midnight Mass; The Donagh" is a collection of ethnic sketches on the life of the Irish peasantry in the 19th century by an Irish writer William Carleton. In his childhood, he moved a lot with his family and, thus, visited many hedge schools. The presented here story "The Hedge School" represents his childhood experiences. Another story, "The Midnight Mass," reflects Carleton's critical attitude towards the Catholic Church of Ireland. He also spent a lot of time in the parish of Donagh, where he received education from a curate, Father Keenan. His life, study, and observations there lay the basis of his story "The Donagh."

'The Ned M'Keown Stories' is a collection of short stories by William Carleton, an Irish writer, that paint a picture of the stereotypical Irishman. He endeavors in the book to give a panorama of Irish life among the people—comprising at one view all the strong points of their general character—their loves, sorrows, superstitions, piety, amusements, crimes, and virtues. His own boast is that, "in doing this, I can say with solemn truth that I painted them honestly, and without reference to the existence of any particular creed or party."
