We have only to add, that in bringing; our labours to a close, we feel cheered
by the consideration, that we have accomplished the main objects of our undertak-
ing, namely, to make the stores of knowledge accessible to our Highland coun-
trymen, and to place within the reach of all who have any wish to become
acquainted with the Gaelic language, the means of facilitating their progress. They
will find the English and Gaelic portion of our Dictionary of essential utility in
aiding them in making this acquisition.
" Though the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach, while every
other author may aspire to praise," and " though we may not even attain to this
negative recompense," we " deliver our book to the world with the spirit of
men who have endeavoured well."
C^i.AMO\T, ^ December, 1890L
