Gaelic Self Taught.
An Introduction to Gaelic,
By JAMES WHITE MACLEAN, in 8 Parts, Complete,
2s., Postage, 2d.
The aim of this Handbook is to provide all who desire a
practical knowledge of the Gaelic language with a simple and
efficient means of acquiring it. The student will find that
the phonetic pronunciation goes far to remove the difficulties
encountered on his first Introduction to the language, and
greatly facilitates the labours of both teacher and pupil,
while to those who cannot avail themselves of the aid of a
teacher's voice it will prove an invaluable guide.
The various lessons and exercises are judiciously and effectively
graded, and the difficulties which invariably meet learners of
Gaelic rendered easy by simple, helpful explanations and illustra¬
tions, which go far to make the study of the language not a little
attractive. Pronunciation and spelling are immensely simplified
by the use of phonetic equivalents, in the construction of which
the author has been very successful indeed. There is grammar
throughout the little work too, but it is the natural grammar
inherent in the language, and not the arbitrary, aggressive
grammar of the schools. We heartily commend this excellent
effort to all interested in acquiring an acquaintance with Gaelic by
simple methods and in a short space of time."—Highland News.
“ There are useful explanations throughout of the peculiarities
of Gaelic idioms as compared with English, and the little book
may be strongly recommended for the use of learners of the lan¬
guage, as, on the whole, conceived and executed on sound educa¬
tional lines ”—Northern Chronicle.
“ The book is conceived on quite good lines, and would form a
satisfactory introduction to such books as Norman MacLeod’s
re-arranged and enlarged edition of Reid’s Elementary Course.—
