Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 22: 1897-98
The present volume, the XXII. Of the series, contains the Trans actions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness for the Session 1897 1898, one year's work. The Council regret the delay in its publication, but owing to various circumstances, connected mostly with the character of the papers in the volume, the delay has been unavoidable. It will be seen that the work possesses the usual characteristics of the Society's volumes, and is quite up to the excellent standard attained to in the last eleven volumes of the Society. Out of the mass of good work therein, it is, however, not out of place to draw attention to Mr Robertson's translation of Dr Stern's Ossianic Heroic Poetry, and this for two reasons: the translation from the German was a most arduous task, both on account of the length of the paper and the difficulty of scientific German, and, secondly, the extreme importance of the paper, for never before has the Ossianic question been handled so concisely, so completely, and in so scholarly a way as by Dr Stern.
