[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 23: 1898-99 As in the case of the last volume of the Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, - this the 23rd - volume records only one year's work - Session 1898-99 and for it, too, the Council has to make the usual apology for delay. The Council, however, has fully determined to hurry up with the publication of the material which it has in hand for the last three sessions, and which may perhaps be condensed into one large volume. The present volume, as will be seen, presents in its papers the general characteristics of the former volumes, and reflects nearly all the aspects of the work that the Gaelic Society professes to undertake. It has already been more than once noted in the introductions to former volumes that a Society with such a small annual subscription from ordinary members as 5s could not possibly publish volumes such as these, practically annual and practically coming up to the subscription in actual cost, unless the Society had been backed by enthusiastic moneyed friends. This time the Council has to thank most cordially its present Chief, Mr Bignold of Lochrosque, for his two gifts of 25 each, the first given in February, 1901, the second in January, 1902. Several gifts have also been made to the Library of the Society, details of which will be found in the end of this volume in the Catalogue, which, it will be observed, is now entirely recast and put in a more serviceable form. We have this time, since the publication of our last volume in January of last year, to mourn the loss of two of our Honorary Chieftains - a case hitherto unexampled in the thirty years life of the Society. Just as Vol. XXII. was issued from the press, Dr Charles Fraser-Mackintosh passed away in his 73rd year. We cannot better characterise him and his life-work than has been done on the tablet erected to his memory in the Inverness High Church: - "In memory of Charles Fraser-Mackintosh, LL.D., D.L., of Drummond, Inverness, Member of Parliament for the Inverness Burghs from 1874 to 1885, and for the County of Inverness from 1885 to 1892.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 23: 1898-99 The great event of 1901 in the Celtic world was the first pan-celtic Congress held in Dublin for four days in August. Representatives from all the five Celtic-speaking nationalities were there -brittany, Wales, Isle of Man, Scotland, and Ireland. The proceedings throughout were enthusiastic and practical. The most important paper delivered 'was Prof. Kuno Meyer's capable resume of the Present State of Celtic Studies. In it the Professor spoke of Scotland as being behind-hand in language matters compared to the other four nations. The next Congress will be held in Ireland in 1904. Otherwise, in regard to general Celtic literature and studies, we have to record the constant flow of papers in the various foreign and Irish periodicals, but nothing of special popular interest, unless it be Prof. Zimmer's remarkable treatise on the Celtic Church published in a German Cyclopaedia, a translation of which in book form is promised by Mr N utt. The most important point which the Professor makes is that Patrick and Palladins were one and the same person. In the present volume the same point is discussed in the paper on the Culdees. The position of Gaelic under the New Code came a month or two ago under discussion in the House of Commons, when the Lord Advocate pointed out that Is extra was given for bilingual instruction for scholars under 10, a pupil teacher might be employed for such extra to the staff otherwise necessary, and, thirdly, 80 marks extra were allotted to Gaelic at the King's Scholarship Examination. Gaelic-speaking p.t.'s should really try to avail themselves of this last and most substantial privilege.
