Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Double Grammar, of English and Gaelic: In Which the Principles of Both Languages Are Clearly Explained; Containing the Grammatical Terms, Definitions, and Rules, With Copious Exercises for Parsing and Correction
Though the inhabitants of the Highlands do now, for the most part, acquire the art of reading English and Gaelic to a competent degree, only a limited number ever becomes acquainted With the Grammar of the former, while that of the latter is entirely neglected. This sad neglect is to be much regretted, as a grammatical knowledge of the Gaelic' would evidently conduce much to facilitate the art of reading and understanding it, and also English, perfectly; render the task more pleasant and valuable to the learner; at the same time preserve the purity of the language, and arm it against the inroads of numerous corruptions.
