"This is the first major work on Thomas Wyse, and his plans for education reform.
It places him, first and foremost, as an educationist, particularly between the years
1830 to 1845. The book draws upon his firm conviction that a national system of education
should have a legislative foundation; a solid legal bedrock creates permanency, and,
this coupled with universality, was a true national system. Not for him, narrow nationalism:
his understanding had greater scope, including all social classes and all ages from
primary education, to intermediate, to university and supplementary education. The
book bears testimony to and conveys explicitly the core of these ideas. The book is
an academic biography of a man who used his good office to explore the prevailing
political atmosphere at the time and to produce a programme which would augment and
reform education provision in Ireland and the wider United Kingdom. The book amplifies
the key elements of Wyse's educational thinking, and the reader should find the analyses
throughout the book both beneficial and enlightening"
