Description:Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Volume 9: 1879-80:We have now pleasure in presenting the Members of the Society with the Ninth Volume of Transactions. In doing so we may be permitted, as on former occasions, to make a brief reference to matters of interest to Highlanders which have occurred since the publication of our last volume.The Society itself has been active in promoting all patriotic but non political movements in connection with the Highlands. In especial it continues to do, as it has always done, whatever is in its power towards extending and popularising the study of Celtic language and literature. In this it has been eminently successful. Twelve years ago, the number of Highlanders in the towns who hesitated to admit that they knew Gaelic - who even denied having a knowledge of it - was surprisingly large. This species of Highlander, it is believed, is new well-nigh extinct; and his successor of the present day takes pride in stating that he can converse in the mountain tongue. The change that has taken place in this way is highly significant, and the Society takes credit to itself for being in no small measure instrumental in bringing it about, and moulding public opinion generally in favour of questions connected with the Highlands.The Society has always endeavoured to preserve our unwritten Gaelic literature, and we would here appeal to such of our members as may possess unpublished material in connection with the Highlands and Highland people to send the same to the Secretary; and if it be considered suitable and within the scope of the Society's objects, it will be published in the Transactions. The folk-lore and legends of the Highlands are being rapidly lost, for, in every district.About the Publisher: Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
