PREFACE. Vll
to many correspondents for their kind assistance and
encouragement. In particular, we owe Mr. John
MacCallum, Taynuilt, a deep debt of gratitude for a
considerable number of melodies which were received
from him ; also, Mr. Henry Whyte (" Fionn "), Glasgow,
and Mr. T. D. MacDonald, Appin, who helped in many
ways. Here, also, we gratefully own our indebtedness
to An Comunn Gaidhealach and The Gaelic Society of
London for granting permission to include prize songs
and melodies, further acknowledgment of which is
made in the text.
