128 <strong>The</strong> <strong>Highland</strong> Monthly.<br />

Turner collection is to follow, <strong>of</strong> which Dr Cameron<br />

thought highly. A complete recension <strong>of</strong> the story <strong>of</strong><br />

Deridre is also to appear ; and thereafter essays on Gaelic<br />

literature and philology, the volume ending with a full<br />

glossary <strong>of</strong> all Dr Cameron's etymologies <strong>of</strong> Gaelic words,<br />

published and unpublished, which we believe will extend to<br />

considerably over a third <strong>of</strong> the vocabulary <strong>of</strong> the Gaelic<br />

dictionary. <strong>The</strong> present volume is very handsomely got<br />

up. Of the printing, it may at once be said that it reflects<br />

the highest credit, as the preface puts it, " on the individuals<br />

concerned in that work." <strong>The</strong> difficulties <strong>of</strong> small superlinear<br />

letters and other signs, combined with the running<br />

on two opposite pages <strong>of</strong> text, transliteration, translation,<br />

and notes on all these, are overcome with complete and<br />

admirable success.<br />
