Conclusion: An Informal System of Education. 330 $aThis book documents an informal system of education that emerged in Ireland between the late 1750s and the end of the century, a system that operated largely without funding or direction by church or state. In a society as divided as eighteenth-century Ireland, it is remarkable that such a system could succeed, paving the way for the more formal reforms of Irish education that followed in the nineteenth century. Based on detailed evidence from newspaper advertisements, directories, educational prospectuses, textbooks, and other print documents from the period as well as previously unexamined manuscript resources, the author describes this system and how it functioned, emphasizing the transnational dimensions of print culture, English literature, and education reform. 410 0$aGlobal Histories of Education,$x2731-6416 606 $aEducation$xHistory 606 $aNon-formal education 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aSchools 606 $aHistory of Education 606 $aInformal Education 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aSchool and Schooling 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aNon-formal education. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aSchools. 615 14$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aInformal Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aSchool and Schooling. 676 $a370.9 700 $aMahon$b M.
