| Description | The Society for Promoting Charity-Schools, Report with covering letter to corresponding members, with account of the Society's progress, 1725. Mentions Blue-Coat Hospital in Oxmantown, near Dublin; the need to supply the 'want of honest, conscientious and laborious Protestant Servants'; the binding out of 'Children to substantial Farmers, Planters, and Gardiners'; that the children are 'generally taken from those of the lowest Condition and the meanest Rank'; and 'This indeed does more immediately concern the Boys, but the Female Children do call aloud for our equal Care: If then they were employed at SCHOOL in Sewing, Spinning, Knitting, etc., they might...defray some part of the Expense of their Education'. Written from St Andrew's Vestry, Dublin. |
