Conclusion: An Informal System of Education.  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. 0aEducationxHistory. 0aNon-formal education. 0aEducation and state. 0aSchools.14aHistory of Education.24aInformal Education.24aEducational Policy and Politics.24aSchool and Schooling.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303164798708iPrinted edition:z978303164800708iPrinted edition:z9783031648014 0aGlobal Histories of Education,x2731-641640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-64799-4
