J89«miPEEFACE.Though this text-book is small, it comprises, I believe,everything necessary — so far as grammar is concerned —for a student of modem Irish. I have not treated at allof the ancient forms of the language and I have excluded;everything in the shape of dissertation the :grammar ofthe modern Irish language, and no more,is here set forthin words as few and simple as possible.I have not suggested any changes either in spelling orin grammatical forms, or attempted innovation of anykind : this is a grammar of the language as it actuallyexists in the works of our best writers.All the illustrative examples are quotations fromstandard Irish writings but ; though I retain the references,I have not given them in the grammar, as theywould encumber the book, and impede, rather than facilitatethe learner. I may mention here, however, that theworks from which the examples are chiefly taken, are,those " of Keating, the publications of the Ossianic Society,The Three Sorrowful Stories of Erin" " (viz.,The Fateof the Children of Usna," " The Fate of the Children ofLir," and " The Fate of the Children of Turenn"), andoccasionally the " Annals of the Four Masters." Thelanguage of the various works published by the Archaeologicaland Celtic Societies is generally too antiquatedto be quoted in a grammar of modern Irish.I have all through given word-for-word translationsof the examples ;free translations would have been morepleasant to read, but would have added considerably tothe learner's difficulty.In the last Part—" Idioms"— I have given a popularrather than a scientific explanation of the principal idiomsof the language. Nothing like this is to be found in anyother Irish Grammar ;and I believe that the learner whomasters it will be saved much labour and perplexity.
