Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 21: 1896-97
Tms, the 21st volume of the Gaelic Society of Inverness Tran~ sactions, though a majority volume, is published in the Society''s 28th year of existence. The publication of a yearly volume has long been found impossible or impracticable and this volume, like its two immediate predecessors, contains a year and a half''s work - from January of 1896 to June of 1897. The volume claims to be unique in one respect: it is the largest which the Society has yet issued, coming as it does within a few pages of the five hundred. Its characteristics otherwise are the same as the later volumes of the Society - few general or elementary papers, but several papers containing original research or original docu ments. It is not invidious to draw attention to the historical or documentary value of the Bighouse Papers and the Gleanings from the Cluny Charter Chest but it will be seen that the Society has not forgotten the other aspects of its work - Highland folklore, Gaelic literature in all its phases, Gaelic dialects, and local as well as clan history.
