Sir, I might here difmifs the fubjedt of educa- tion altogether ; and indeed, I reluctantly call your attention to one illuftration of the advantages to be derived from it, and the great difadvantages V 2 3G attending its total abfence from any country when I mention the ftate of the poor in Ireland. There are in that country no poor laws, to which the mifcry and \\retchednefs of the lower orders of fociety can be traced. But they have no inftruc- tion. In Scotland they have inflruction, and th...erefore they are contented and happy, and do not ufc the poor laws which they have. I perfectly well know, that my Noble Friend, who is, fortunately for her interefls, at the head of the government of that country, is a de- cided friend to general inftruction, and that he is a patron of the improved plan 1 have difcufled, as well as of the perfon who carries it into effect, I know that the other members of his majefty's councils for the more immediate government of that country, are doing their endeavours towards the inflruction of that brave, patient, and ge- nerous people.
