Extra!! from a Pamphlet Chin eis, " A Description of the
Manner., 4c. of ,tas Ina% Peasantry, such attire were be-
tween the l cis. 1760 end 1790. it Rebel Zan, LL. II."

Perhaps there never was a race of men who had a
stronger desire, anal less tneans,*to procure scho-
lastic information, than the wretched Peasantry of
Ireland. Great numbers of them were ignorant
froni absolute necessity ; and the consciousness of
that ignorance often became a source of unhappi-
ness. The instruaion received by those children
who happened to be sent to what they called a
szhools was act only bad, but sometimes worse than
no instruction at all. Instead of expanding, it
served to narrow their mind,; and, instead of in-
spiring them with notions of morality, it paved the
way for the commission of every osecies of vice.
That this barbarous system Iva: caused by that
government which long ruled over Ireland with
el.:Renee, oppression, and folly ; is as well ascer-
tained as any historical fag can be.• A government,
which expels its subjeas to be peaceable, orderly,
and obedient to thelaws, must take care to have the
rising generation instructed in the principles of pub-
lic and private virtue. But the old rulers of Ire.
land with a degree of sottish bigotry, of stupid
pride, and a.tive malevolence, of which a parallel
is scarcely to be found in the Turkish History ; not
only forbore ,to encourage public instruiion; but
did every thing in their power to check and crush
it. lite lens ratted in the 'ons of William and
Anne, with a view of convetting the natives of Ire-
lead from the Popish to the Protestant Religion, by
force ; have been already noticed. The direa and
avowed object of those lows was to shut nut all kind
of instrttaian from the children of Irish Itent:ri Ca-
tholics. If ever there was any one le; isl dive nsea-
sure more ptegnant -with fully and mischief than
another, it was that of telling the malnity of the
subjeas they must not read, unless they changed
their religion. It was a law of such monstrous in-
justice and tt fanny, as to render the enforcement
of it inipotaicable. Like every other had law, it
vitiated those that were good : an.' the people. Itiv
ing broken through fiom too' sit y. were led into
habits of disoboat ace of all law. Tins was eau:illy
tho case with it.: Catholics of Ireland. They openly
veil iced all .he laws that forbade them to Le in-
'Lenard ; told they did so in a manner tb it was at
once degrading to the legislature, loin, ions to them- i
selves, and dangerous to the state.
The only way by which the Catholic Peasants I
could have been prevented from reading, was to
have ordered a p toy of soldiers to be posted in every
village, and to destroy all the pieces of printed or
written paper they amid find. Had this been done,
one solitary advantage would have fon, wed' —Th;
psasantss learning nothing good. would hate
im-
bibed nothing that was hat. in the course of their
reading. But, in the very as of violating a public
law, dwy received a certain kind of itotruaion
which was worse than ignorance. Their teachers
were generally men of the very lowest class a know-
ledge of writing and of the coounon rules of ands-
teem, was generally comidered a sufficient qu di-
fication for them t.s assume the office of schoolmsa
tan. But of moral truths, or history, geopraph;
or the coastruclion of language, they knew nothing.
They could barely read a common English book ;
and, what little they new of the English langaage,
they spoke incorrealy. rbey could not therefore
communicate to their scholars what they did not
know themselves; and if they could. the pove.ty
of the parents put it out or their power to procure
the necessary books for the children. Books, that
could have conveyed any knowledee of history.
were toe voluminous. and consequently too dear to
be per otased : boots of morality were above their
comprehension : and their Clergy woeld not permit
them to read the Bible or Testament. Their read.
ing Caen eons. sted of vire stories, which, without
conveying inse .aion to the mind,eithcr filled it with
ezuseagaro, romantic notions, incompatible wish
their station in life; or gave sce;e an. saivity to
the worst passions. Toe books, that were %MA at
these wretched schools, tended as mach to prevent
the peasantry of 'relent! from In co-nine good sun-
' jeQq as any of the c.a.: :gleaners already noticed.
cos, describing :e ro ,r,rwers of barbarous and
superstitious ages. were rot calculated to inspire
youth with correa rwt.i of law or govern:writ :
especially when untccoir.panied with any other kind

of teadolig that might do :tray the had impressin.ls
they had made. l'Ast this was n't : the evil
would have been comparatively trifling. if the ynnng
Peasants had re.iJ mithing worse than use wild mi-
raculous tales of ether times and countries. The

history of some of the very wont charade's from
among themselves also foraki a part of their stu-
dies. In the perusal these. youth became fami-

liarised to %silences of the most violent and atm
cious nature ; and were t night to look upon rob-
bers, incendiaries, murderers. and violators of wo.
men, as objea. ul admiration. The transition from
theory to pra2:re was bat short.—And crimes pro.
seeded more frequently front an inherent depravity
is tins perpetrators. than from that desire of gain
.3sich euesoitutes their origin in most other coun-
tries.
Besides those just alluded to, the country was
frequrntly inundated with another 4v:cies of puislie
cati.ms, perhaes equally as destructive :n pubiie and
p~rrivate morality. fhcse comis:ed of songs and bal-

And such was the eaten which they prevailed
among the lower orders of tat Irish, that their
priest. were frequently obliged to detonate attache-
mas front the altars, +gat/sit porsNa who should
sing or repeat certain ballads.
To that drafeaive and pernicious mele'
of irstrtte-
tims already nmiced, there was one exception, which
the philanthropic mind cannot cor.te•"splate without

hest Greek and Roman inthors ; that they had taste
to discriminate the beauties contained in them; and
frequently conversed with each other in the Latin
language; which (by the bye) they spoke mu:h more
eorrealY than English. It was no uncommon
thing to see poor lads, who had left their homes
without shoes or stockings, or perhaps the smallest
sum of money in their pockets, wandmipg through
the country in search of scholastic instrutlion, and
living on the bounty of those whom they had ap-
plied-to for relief, which was hardly ever refused
them. In this Litter circumstance they were dis-
tinguished from all other Mendicants, as well as inthe
compassionate attention theyixperienced from most
people. They called themselves pow scholars: and
that name was always a suiicient passport for a tem-
porary lodging and entertainment in the house of
any peasant, whose hospitable spirit' he cold band
of want had not extinguished. fhey were hardly
ever refused admittance into any •school ; where
they wen. iostru&ed gratuitously; and of which
the master took earn they should not be reproached
for their poverty. In serum for this kindness, after
they had made some progress, they assisted in
teaching the younger boys. 'lle part of Ireland to
which poor scholars • chi, ly resorted was Munster ;
because in that province the classical schools were
always the hest and most numerous. The ultimate
objea which they had in view, was that of being ad-
mitted into the Itsmish Priesthood. If they were
diligent in their studies, and correft in their tooth: et,
they seldom failed of having their ambition grati-
fied. Among the
.Iteruan Catholic Clergy were
many men of karning and exemplary lives, who
had a: quire) their education In the manner just de-
scribed. There were even instances of some poor
scholars bevinglsems admitted into the University of
Dublin, and there distinguished themselves by their
progress in classical and scientific knowledge.
It would be foreignfrom the presentsnbjeatoenter
into the history of those institutions, called endowed
and chartered schools, which the benevolent Leal
of Miiividuals had founded from their private pro-
perty, with a view of extending the Protestant re=
legion. It may be necessary, however, to notice
them, so far as they formed a part of th;:t general
system of corruption and absurdity, sthich prevailed
throughout the whole of Ireland. Tire peasantry,
as must appear from what has been already said,
could derive no ki.aMit from these schools: for
such of them as had not fallen into abuse and decay
were inaccessible to the children of any except Pro-
testants. And their utility was of a Tarp Halted
nature. lint the greater number of :hese foundltions
(particularly those which had promised superior ad-
vantages, and to which superior endowments had
been granted) were not only useless but mischievous.
• While they usig,leeted and ir.jured the cause of learn-
ing, they operated as so many mor.epolizs to drive
all fair competition out of the manner. They were
sinecure places for the nominal masters (.1
them, who received almost all the emolument,
wising from the endowments, without doing
any public service : and the men who did the
dot: that was to be periormed, had scarcely a
sufficiency to suisi,t on.

TO THE EDI TJR IE BRIiISH ?REM

3~s,

Throtigb the medium of your Parer I wish .to
put a question for the cati:fietion of several of my
f. iends. to the Professors of Astronomy and Philo-
sotMariner finds by experience, when he is upon'
the line, called the equator of the earth, that, tl.e
stars situated on the equinoxial line or equator of
the heaven, are perpendidlar to, or in hit zenith ;
and if he moves 9J geographical miles due N. or
du: S of the equator, there is 'an angle in those
stars, of 3.1 minutes of a degree, are no longer
in his zenith, or perpendicular to him.
In the Newtonian system of astrodomy we -are
tniJ that the earth moves through an orbit of GUO
millions of miles in circumference, every twelve
months, and that the earth is e. 31 degrees, or 100
milli .n. of miles due north of tee equinoxial line, or
eqoator of the heaven, in the month of December,
and stJi degrees, or 100 millions of miles south of it,
in :be month of .lone; yet she doth not alter her posi.
tiosi to int stars that are situated on the equinozial line
or equator of the heaven ; for those stars sire at ail
times found perpendicular to, or in the zenith, and
nadir, at the equator of the earth.
The astronomer says. the immense distance of
the stars prevents our seeing ar.y angle in them;
bat the mariner, as before observed, discovers an
angle of 30 minutes of a degree in those stars, if he
moves only 30 miles North or South of the equator,
the distance of :Ile stars cloth not prevent him from
seeing the angle ; yet the astronomer can discover
no angle in the stars ; notwithstanding, he says, the
earth, is her annual motion round the sun, n 10'3
millions of miles n'orth of the equinnzial line. or equa-
tor of the heaven in December, and 100 millio..s
of milts ,oath of it in June. This is a mystery.
which Imam eonfeskleannot comprehend remplain.
and I hope, Cr the /noose of the Newtonian system
of astronomy. and the reps:name of its followers, that
Door Massylene, astronomer royal. or some of the
professors at the universities. will condescend to ex-
plain this extraordinary phenomenon.
The insertion of tic. iu y-our valuable paper will
