.The greater part of the Gaelic Airs in this and in the first book
(except the Quicksteps) belong* exclusively to the West Hig-hlands and
Islands, and have never before been published.
They have all been arranged as simply as possible; to preserve the
true pipe-like character of the Music, little or no harmony is admiss¬
ible. One exception has been made in the case of N? 6, which is prob¬
ably an ancient Hymn, but it also, as N? 38, has been treated again
in the usual manner. In making this second Collection I have to ac -
knowledge kind assistance from several ladies connected with the West
Highlands and Islands, in permission to Copy from Manuscripts in
their possession.
