About this book
Volume III of The Works of William Carleton carries the heading Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Part III, and its contents list The Hedge School, The Midnight Mass and The Donagh; Or, The Horse Stealers. Under the heading The Hedge School, the text says there never was a more unfounded calumny than that which would impute to the Irish peasantry an indifference to education. The text says the village of Findramore was situated at the foot of a long green hill.
A father whispers with a sigh to a woman called Alley that they would be the happy family if that misfortunate boy of theirs was to be always the thing he appears to be. The text says that on perceiving what he had done, the deep working of a man's powerful frame was struck into sudden stillness, and he turned his eyes on his bleeding daughter, with a fearful perception of her situation.
