Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Gaelic Language, Vol. 1 of 2: In Two Parts, I. Gaelic and English; II. English and Gaelic
The Very Reverend dr. Baird, Principal of the University of Edinburgh, so distinguished for his unwearied and patriotic exertions for the advancement of education, and the diffusion of knowledge throughout the Highlands and Isles of Scotland, having projected two periodical publications in the Gaelic language; we, the compilers of this work, were induced at his earnest request to undertake the charge of conducting them.' We had not been long engaged in our labours, when we found that the want of a Concise and Cheap Dictionary of the Gaelic language proved an almost insuperable obstacle to the progress of education in the Highlands, and a great hinderance to those who were disposed to promote it.
This want so long felt, and so much complained of, we undertook to supply; and we have now been enabled to bring our labours to a close.
