Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Language and Literature of the Scottish Highlands This book is an humble attempt to break down the middle wall of partition which I have found to exist fencing off the most cultivated minds in England and in the Lowlands of Scotland from the intellectual life and moral aspirations of the Scottish Highlanders. This partition, so unnatural between kindred races, appears to me to have grown up from a combination of unhappy circumstances, which has rudely torn away one remote limb of the empire from the sympathy of the rest, but is kept up mainly now by the neglect with which all classes have conspired to treat the Caledonian branch of the great Celtic family of languages. For this neglect our Scottish philologers, who ought to have seen more sharply, and our Highland upper and middle classes, who ought to have felt more truly, are chiefly responsible.
