THE SCOTTISH GAEL ; or, Celtic Manners, 



as preserved among the Highlanders. Being an Historical and 

 Descriptive Account of the Inhabitants, Antiquities, and National 

 Peculiarities of Scotland, more particularly of the Northern, or 

 Gaelic Parts of the Country, where the singular Habits of the 

 Aboriginal Celts are still most tenaciously retained. Illustrated by 

 upwards of Sixty descriptive Plates, and accurately coloured 

 Engravings ef the Costumes of the Highland Clans ; with correct 

 Specimens and Descriptions of their respective Badges, Tartans, 

 &c. &c. By James Logan, Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries 

 of Scotland. 



This Work may be justly designated " The Celtic Ctclo- 

 PJSDIA," as every thing connected with the History of the Ancient 

 and Modern Gael, and the different branches of the same Race, in 

 the British Isles, and elsewhere, is minutely described, illustrated, 

 and traced to the primitive inhabitants of Western Europe. 



** Mr Logan has acquitted himself loyally to his country, and faith- 

 fully to literatiu-e — his work bears in every page the unequivocal evi- 

 dence of observation and research. To all Scotsmen, and lovers of 

 Scotland — to every inquirer into the history of man — we recommend 

 Mr Logan's book." — Atlienceum. 



" Mr Loffan's work will have the good eflfect of clearing up many 

 doubts, and of shewing the Celts and Lowlanders in a more distinct 

 light than they have hitherto been relatively placed ; it possesses also 

 the merit of bein^ accurate, patient in details, highly descriptive, and 

 always entertainmg. Wherever there is a small collection of books 

 pretending to the character of a Library, this History of the Scottish 

 Gael should be added to it without loss of time." — Atlas. 



" A production of much research and ability, and replete with 

 interesting investigations into our Northern Antiquities. It deserves 

 the warmest patronage of the public, aa a most meritorious, curious, 

 and sterling performance." — Literary Gazette. 



MY OLD PORTFOLIO ; or, TALES AND 



SKETCHES. By Henry Glassford Bell, Esq. Author of 

 "Summer and Winter Hours." Post 8vo. Price 9s. boards. 



** There are passages in the volume of intense and commandiug 

 passion, — there are passages full of the most delicate and acute sense 

 of the beauties of Nature, — and there are passages of rich racy 

 humour. The author is a man of genius in the strict acceptation of the 

 term. ' ' — TaiVs Magazine. 



" A keen conception of the ridiculous, an overflowing of the buoyant 

 spirits of youth, a deep feeling of natural beauty, and a creative and 

 wild fancy, are the characteristics of a mind which seems to us rather 

 to have tried its wiugs thau its powers, in this work." — Literary 

 Gazette. 



*' Mr Bell is neither a heavy dragoon nor a black hussar ; but as a 

 literary light horseman, or rathor rifleman, toying- and yet dealing with 

 his duty, he has probably no equal among the literary men of Srotland. 

 To us his endless quips and cranks are more amusing than even those 

 of Thomas Hood himself." — Dumfriet Courier.
