Synopsis
Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Manks Language, With the Corresponding Words or Explanations in English: Interspersed With Many Gaelic Proverbs
To place the present publication within the reach of the peasantry of the Isle of Man, it has been greatly abridged from what was at first purposed by the author; notwithstanding which, it is hoped will give general satisfaction, and be a standing memorial of that very ancient language - the Manks or Gaelic, to generations yet unborn as it may with a degree of truth be asserted that we have little more than two-thirds of the language preserved in the published translation of the Scriptures and the Church Liturgy.
The following Remarks of Reference, with the work itself, will enable the reader to form some idea of the construction of the language.
