		Too much stress must not be laid upon the unwillingness of the people to give up tribal ownership, for it is clear from our early records that the rights of joint-occupancy were confined to the immediate kin of the head of the clan.
		Thus the only reason for calling the Scottish Highlanders "Celts" is that Cæsar used that name to describe a race cognate with another race from which the Highlanders ought to be carefully distinguished.

	Guide to Gaelic Conversation - Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This book is published chiefly to supply a need felt by visitors to the Highlands, the want of an English-Gaelic handbook of phrases and dialogues, in which English sentences are followed by their Gaelic equivalents.
		In preparing the dialogues the author was guided to some extent by the numerous phrasebooks of other European languages, but the peculiar circumstances of the Highlands and the Highland tongue necessitated the introduction of new subjects and the adoption of new forms.
		It is hoped that this little volume will be found useful as a handbook for strangers in the Highlands, as a book of reference for Highlanders themselves, and as the best introduction to Gaelic for those who wish to become acquainted with that language.
