To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was also usual for a man who had been a pre- eminent and extraordinary scholar, to have the epi- THE HEDGE SCHOOL. 119 thet Great prefixed to his name. I remember one of this description, who was called the Great O'Brien, par excellence. In the latter years of his life he gave up teaching", and led a circulating life, going round from school to school, and remaining a week or a month alternately among his brethren. His visits were considered an honour, and raised considerably the literary ch...aracter of those with whom he resided j for he spoke of dunces with the most dignified con- tempt, and the general impression was, that he would scorn even to avail himself of their hospita- lity. Like most of his brethren, he could not live without the poteen ; and his custom was, to drink a pint of it in its native purity before he entered into any literary contest, or made any display of his learn- ing at wakes or other Irish festivities ; and most cer- tainly, however blameable the practice, and injurious to health and morals, it threw out his talents and his powCTS in a most surprising manner.
