Description:Excerpt from Reliquiæ Celticæ, Vol. 2: d104s, Papers and Studies in Gaelic Literature and Philology Left by the Late Rev. Alexander Cameron, LL. D.; Poetry, History, and PhilologyDr Cameron left among his papers. This again is followed by an Index to the etymologies given by Dr Cameron in the Gael (187 9 187 4) and in his own Scottish Celtic Review. As both these works are either in the possession or within easy reach of Gaelic scholars and students, we thought it best to lighten our volume by not reproducing them in fact, we were compelled to do so. In any case, all Dr Cameron's work in the way of an etymological dictionary of the Gaelic language is here brought together actually or by reference. Much of the work in the Glossary, like all that of the Gael, is twenty years old, and within these years philology has travelled fast and far. When Dr Cameron commenced his Gael articles, Celtic scholars were still disputing as to the existence of initial or intervocalic p in Celtic, and the revolution of Brug mann and the New School is ten years later. Indeed, Dr Cameron did little philological work during the last three or four years of his life, and he keenly disputed some of the views of the younger men. We have endeavoured to bring the etymologies, where necessary, up to date both in the Glossary and the Index.It remains for us, at the end of our task, to thank those kind friends who have helped us either by word or deed. To the Press of the country - daily, weekly, and periodical - we owe our best thanks for their unanimous praise of our first volume and as this is, in our Opinion, by far the best volume of the two, especially in the importance of the hitherto unpublished texts it now presents, we venture to hope for it a no less kindly treatment. By the death of Sir William Mackinnon, we have lost the encouragement of the best friend of our undertaking, and the appearance of these volumes at all must be added as another stone to his cairn. Mr John. Whyte, Edinburgh, and Mr Alexander Macdonald, Railway Audit Office, Inverness, have given valuable assistance in the proof - reading of the Fernaig and Turner mss.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
