Автор: Macbain Alexander Название: Higher Grade Readings: With Outlines of Grammar and All the King`s Scholarship Examination Papers in Gaelic (1888 - 1904) ISBN: 165737002X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781657370029 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 9140.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Boys and girls in Highland schools speak Gaelic fluently, in pronounced dialect form for the most part. How best to utilise this acquirement of theirs in order to further their mental training and general culture is a vital question in the education of these children. Hitherto it has been practically ignored. But the Scottish Education Department has, by a recent Minute, offered a Leaving Certificate in Gaelic, and Dr. Macbain, a foremost Gaelic scholar and an experienced teacher of eminence, has printed this booklet for the use of pupils qualifying for this certificate.To meet the case of such pupils fully, it will be found that not one but two books are required. First and foremost there is urgently needed an outline of Gaelic Grammar, such as is provided here, but with a graduated course of exercises for translation and retranslation, with examples here and there showing how such exercises ought to be done, especially in the rendering of idioms and figures of speech. Such a volume would usefully provide in an appendix specimens of such examination papers in Gaelic as have hitherto appeared. A separate volume would be required for general reading. The Reading Book should contain carefully selected specimens in prose and verse from the best modern Gaelic authors, with a short note giving the principal facts in each author's life, and a sentence indicating the special feature of his genius. Meanwhile, aspirants for the Gaelic Leaving Certificate will find Dr. Macbain's little volume most valuable. --The Celtic Review

Автор: , Macbain Alexander Название: Celtic Mythology and Religion: With Chapters Upon Druid Circles and Celtic Burial ISBN: 1657100154 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781657100152 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 12590.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The field of Mythology, strictly defined, embraces the fabulous events believed in by a nation and the religious doctrines implied in these. But the term is for convenience' sake extended so as to include the kindred subject of folk-lore. Now folk-lore includes all those popular stories of which the fairy tales of our nursery are a good illustration, and where the religious element implied in Mythology is absent. The term Celtic Mythology, in these papers, is understood, therefore, to include the popular traditions and legendary tales of the Celts, the fabulous actions and exploits of their heroes and deities, the traditions of their early migrations, their fairy tales, and the popular beliefs in regard to the supernatural world. The scope of the discussion will include an introductory section or two on the general principles of Mythology - its cause and spread, and the connection of the Mythology of the Celts with those of the kindred nations of Europe and Asia.
