Dictionaries. By the Rev. Dr. M'Leod, Campsie, 



the Rev. Principal Dewar, Aberdeen. 



" The Rev. Drs. M'Leod and Dewar are already advan- 

 tageously known to the public as eminent Gaelic Scholars, 

 and we think their Dictionary promises fair to extend 

 their reputation as benefactors to the Highlands. * * * 

 The present publication will have all the advantages of an 

 abridgment from the Society's large work, with some 

 peculiar to itself, as being to a considerable extent original. 

 Many new words are added, and new phrases are given, 

 especially with regard to the changes eifected upon the 

 word by prepositions^ prefixes, and affixes, which are very 

 common in Gaelic. To the Highland Student and the 

 Highland Minister it is unnecessary to recommend it, since 

 we know that by them such a work has been long wished 

 for ; and a slight glance at the present will be sufficient to 

 convince them of its value." — Edinburgh Literary Journal, 

 Dec. 1829. 



" We have now the complete work before us, and we are 

 much pleased to find that, instead of cause to retract, w«5 

 have rather to add to the praise we formerly felt it our duty 

 to bestow on the labours of Drs. M'Leod and Dewar."— 

 Ibid. Jan. 1831.
