Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Phonetics of the Gaelic Language: With an Exposition of the Current Orthography and a System of Phonography
There are differences of opinion in regard to the proper method of spelling certain words, with which I do not inter fere: their settlement is the business of the etymologist.
The orthography of the Gaelic language being, as will be seen, an arrangement whereby a small number of symbols are made to serve many purposes, it lacks that simplicity and directness of method which should ensure quick writing as well as ready reading. Indeed, although the Gaelic is, perhaps, as easily read as most languages, it takes, probably, the longest time to write of any of those represented by the Roman alphabet. This is easily understood when it is known that two letters, and in many cases three, are used for the representation of one articulation or sound in most instances. Like other languages, too, the character of its written symbols is complicated, and, therefore, a great deal of unnecessary labour is expended in their formation.

Excerpt from The Phonetics of the Gaelic Language: With an Exposition of the Current Orthography and a System of Phonography
In writing the following treatise, I have been actuated by a desire to supply an aid to the study of the Gaelic language. I have put together the rudiments of the subjects treated of as they present themselves to my mind. There may be imperfections, errors and overlooks; but, in what I have done, I claim to have done something useful. It has not been my aim to bring together a large amount of materials, but rather to furnish a basis for study and to indicate the directions in which it might be followed out. To those who are not already acquainted with the language, but who are desirous of learning it, the nature of the subjects and their method of treatment will be of some use; to those interested in philology they cannot fail to be of service; while, to the Gael who already knows somewhat of his mother tongue, they will furnish a useful instrument for improving his knowledge. I am not without the hope, too, that the publication of this book will add to the already increasing attention which is being bestowed on the Gaelic language as a factor in the school education of Highland children and even as an accomplishment among those who have received an English education.
The advantages which accrue from a knowledge of Phonetics are apparent to all who are interested in language.
