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,
