PREFACK,

The Publisliers, and many others, having uiged me to

superintend a New Edition of this little Manual, I have

complied with their request as quickly as my other

avocations would permit me.

I have increased, and tried to make the matter of the

book as simple and clear as I could ; and I hope that

those who may feel disposed to study Gaelic will, on

a fair trial, find this Primer of considerable advantage,
