Excerpt from Gaelic Texts for Schools (New Code), Vol. 1: Grammar, Vocabulary, and Full Notes and Exercises on Parsing, Analysis, Etc The admission of the Gaelic language at last to a recognised place, and to a substantial grant on the Code, made it necessary to provide Text-books. This is the first of a graduated series that is in prepara tion. The method of looking at the language from above downwards is perhaps new, but is easy and natural. It is meant for those to Whom Gaelic is the native tongue, and to Whom the language should be instructive, and not a constructive task. The value of the mother tongue as a medium of mental and moral training cannot be too highly estimated, and it is anticipated that the privilege of studying it will be accepted with a keen relish by pupils and teachers alike. The little pieces from Dr maclachlan, here given, are so exquisitely pure and poetical as to be irresistible. The pros'e extracts are from the best writings, and their vitality is preserved, as far as possible, that they may be the more interesting. In the little grammar given, there is no attempt.
