"A Schoolmaster came to Middleton in the year 1825, who gave out that he’d teach everything, so that he left the rest nothing to teach; but a kind friend wrote this advertisement on him."
The undersigned hereby conveys,
To all that pass by these ways,
To all besides whom it may concern,
Within this neighbouring little realm,
A full to timely intimation,
And most authentic information.
That he in Middleton will teach
What follow, or part of each –
To the children he will teach Our Father,
The Creed, Hail Mary & Confession,
The Catechism he will rehearse...."
The signature of one of the owners of the manuscript (J Doherty) is found at the bottom of page 10. " By Davy Barry of the Glen. J. Doherty. "
