A Grammar of the Irish Language
Published for the Use of the Senior Classes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Grammar of the Irish Language: Published for the Use of the Senior Classes<br><br>The following work was commenced in the year 1828, and has been since continued, with various interruptions. The Author, having in the interval visited every county in Ireland, has had opportunities of becoming acquainted with the provincial dialects of the language, as now spoken; and he has therefore noticed their more remarkable peculiarities, wherever they appeared to throw light on the Rules of Irish Grammar. He has also introduced copious examples from the remains of the ancient language still preserved in manuscript; a source of information peculiarly important, not only as preserving the original inflexions and forms of the language, but also because it has been hitherto almost entirely neglected by his predecessors, who, with the exception of Haliday have all taken their examples from the modern vernacular Irish.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
