Book Description
This text provides a single-volume, single-author general introduction to the Celtic languages. The first half of the book considers the historical background of the language group as a whole. There follows a discussion of the two main sub-groups of Celtic, Goidelic (comprising Irish, Scottish, Gaelic and Manx) and Brittonic (Welsh, Cornish and Breton) together with a detailed survey of one representative from each group, Irish and Welsh. The second half considers a range of linguistic features which are often regarded as characteristic of Celtic: spelling systems, mutations, verbal nouns and word order.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Celtic Language: Wherein It Is Shown to Be Based Upon Natural Principles, and Elementarily Considered, Contemporaneous With the Infancey of the Human Family If any person take up the History of the Celtic Language as about to be submitted, and expect to get through it as through a song, for that person the author has not written: "Intelligibilia non intellectum adfero." At the commencement of the present order of material things, the first sun indicated day by a faint but perceptible heraldic emanation in the East, gradually waxing stronger and stronger, till now, behold! the king of day himself gilding the summit of the mountains with the splendour of his countenance, and now gradually mounting, and diffusing stronger light - stronger intelligence - till he arrives at the goal of noon. This appears to the author no inapt emblem of the commencement of the order of things in the moral world.
