Book Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 17: 1890-91 The contents of the Volume will, it. Is believed, bear com parison with our other Volumes of the past dozen years; but there are two novelties that require a few words of explanation The prize of £10 given by The Mackintosh for the best essay on the Social Condition of the Highlands since 1800, was won bv Mr Polson, Dunbeath, and it is published after the regular literary work of the Society in the present Volume. Then follows Mrs Grant's translation of William Tell into Gaelic. This appeared originally in the columns of the Northern Chronicle. The Council of the Society, moved by the excellence of the translation and by the representations of members, who offered to pay any extra cost, sanctioned its publication, and the Publishing Committee have with pleasure carried out Its behest.
