This Dictionary is based on A Pronouncing Gaelic Dictionary by Neil MacAlpine which made its first appearance about 1831. In 1903 it reached its twelfth edition, which indicates the useful position it occupied in the study of Gaelic. The work of revision and enlargement was begun with the intention of preserving its distinctive feature as a pronouncing dictionary. Soon it became evident that much more than that was required in order to increase its usefulness, and to meet the needs of the modern student of Gaelic. Since Gaelic became a subject qualifying for graduation in Arts in the Scottish Universities, its study has been arranged on broader lines. In this course a knowledge of Irish in its various stages has long been regarded as essential to a proper understanding of Gaelic literature. In view of this development, it was felt that if the present work was to be in any true sense in advance of its predecessor, it must needs offer assistance in the field of etymology. Accordingly the original scheme has been amplified in this direction, so that the present edition may be described as both a Pronouncing and an Etymological Dictionary.
