FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS OF THE GAELIC CLASS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. PART I. 'S i labhair Padruig an Innis-fàil nan Righ EDINBURGH: MACLACHLAN & STEWART. 1889. Harvard College Library Morrison and Gibb, Edinburgh, Printers to Her Majesty's Stationery Office. THE following extracts have been printed for the use of students who attend the Class in connection with the Celtic Chair. The orthography and idiom of the authors differ in many cases, but it has been thought desirable to preserve this variety, as it illustrates the dialects of the various districts in the Highlands, and the want of uniformity among authors in writing the Gaelic language. A few apostrophes and a considerable number of accents have been removed from the page; and the number of both might be still further reduced with advantage. These extracts are selected simply for their style, and are intended to form a First or Junior Reading Book. A second volume, containing examples of the higher efforts of modern Gaelic poets, along with specimens of old Gaelic, will afterwards be published. THE COLLEGE, EDINBURGH, November 1, 1889. |
