The Literature Of The Highlands Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Literature of the Highlands Owing to the close affinity that subsisted between the different Celtic nationalities in the earlier periods of their literary activity, it was possible for me in my former book to treat of their literature as a whole. The greater divergence of production among these peoples in more recent times renders it desirable and even necessary that their literary history during this modern period should be detailed in separate volumes.

Excerpt from A History of the Scottish Highlands, Highland Clans and Highland Regiments, Vol. 2: With an Account of the Gaelic Language, Literature and Music AS we have already (see ch. Xviii.) given a somewhat minute description of the clan system, it is unnecessary to enter again in detail upon that subject here. We have, per haps, in the chapter referred to, given the most brilliant side of the picture, still the reader may gather, from What is said there, some notion of what had to be done, what immense barriers had to be overcome, ere the High lander could be modernised. Any further de tails on this point will be learned from the Introduction to the History Of the Clans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Glenmorven: Or Child Life in the Highlands Yes, after getting a man to put it right, said Nina grandly, for she hadhad nothing to do with putting it wrong, and it took him two days. But it will not take me two days, but two weeks, to be set on again, so I would advise you not to stop me, but alli to sit quite still. Long, long ago, before in fact any of you were born, there lived two little girls called Beland Fan. They were twins that is, they were born on the same day, and there fore were exactly the same age. When they were babies, they were so much alike, that it was almost impossible to tell which was which. 'even their mother sometimes mistook them, and their nurse was obliged to tie up Bel's sleeves with blue ribbon and Fan's with red, to prevent mistakes.

Excerpt from History of the Scottish Highlands: Highland Clans and Highland Regiments; With an Account of the Gaelic Language, Literature, and Music Your royal highness knows I always told I had no design to continue in the army.

Excerpt from Nether Lochaber: The Natural History, Legends, and Folk-Lore of the West Highlands We love The Post's of Burns for its own sake, but we love it all the more, perhaps, because our attention was first directed to its sweet simplicity and tender beauty by one of our earliest and kindest friends, himself a poet of no mean order, the late Professor William Tennant, author of Anster Fair, in all its fantastical gaiety and homely mirth the most original poem, per haps, to be found in the literature of our country.

Excerpt from A Short History of the Scottish Highlands and Isles A short history should have a brief Preface, and a few words will suffice to explain the purpose and scope of the present work. No complete history of the Highlands, issued at a popular price and in a compact form, has yet been published. It is believed that a book of that description will serve a purpose which the existing histories do not claim to fulfil, and will appeal to a considerable body of readers whom the larger and more expensive works on the subject fail to reach. In that belief, and with that object, the present volume has been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
