PREFACE. iX
trie death of Cathmor, the Irifn General, whom Fingal,^
after rallying the routed Caledonians, and difpiayuig
prodigies of valour, kills with his own hand. Thefe
are llrange performances fcr a man at the age of an
hundred. Both ends of this h^-potheus have been em-
braced by Lord Karnes and Mr. Whitaker, and thus has
the sera of Oflian been afcertaine.^i.
With refped to this edition, we have little to fay.
Of an elegant type, fuperb engravings, and a fuperfine
paper, the reader is an equal judge with ourfelves ; nor
can it be a circumftance unfavourable to our publica-
tion, that the Book is now to be fold at lefs than half
©f the price of any former edition.
November, 1796..
