An Account of the Design of Printing about 3000 Bibles in Irish, with the Psalms of David in Metre, for the use of the Highlanders.  
THE Inhabitants of the Highlands of Scotland, have never had the Bible in their own Language, which is the Irish: Some endeavours have formerly been used in Scotland, to have it Printed in that Language, but hitherto they have proved unsuccessful.  
Of late, the Honourable, Learned, and Pious Mr. boil hath, at great charge, caused to be Printed 500 Bibles in Irish, which were designed for Ireland, and accordingly most part of them, especially the New-Testaments, were by him sent thither: Of the Books of the Old Testament which remained, he sent above 200 into the Highlands, which made one Book for each Parish, there being so many Parishes in the Highlands, and those of very large extent, containing great Numbers of People.  
The same Excellent and Worthy Person, was at the Charge of Printing for the use of the Highlanders, 3000 Catechisms and Prayer-Books in Irish, with some Passages of Scripture, containing the principal Heads of the Christian Religion, they never having had any such helps before. He hath also lately given money to reprint as many more.  
All sorts of People among them express an extraordinary joy upon occasion of this great and unexpected Charity to their Souls, and do earnestly desire to have another Impression of the Bible in Irish for themselves, and for their Children, that by Reading, and Hearing of that Sacred Book, they may be delivered from Ignorance and Barbarity.  
The Money collected for carrying on the Work, is to be deposited with the Reverend Dr Horneck, who hath been pleased Charitably to accept of the trouble of receiving it.  
Several worthy Persons both of England and Scotland, have promised their Concurrence, and signified the Proportions they intent to give, of whom also not a few have already sent their Money to Dr. Horneck, at his House in Exeter-street, who hath a List of their Names, with the Sums of Money they have Subscribed or sent.  
The Person employed for the Printing of this Bible, is Robert Everingham, at the Seven Stars in Ave mary-Lane, nigh Paternoster Row.  
There is a Minister to come shortly from the Highlands, to attend the Press; who likewise, by the Advice and with the Concurrence of other Discreet and Pious persons, both of the Laity and Clergy in Scotland, is to distribute among the poorer sort of Highlanders, those Books which are subscribed for by some Charitable Persons of this Kingdom.  
As for the Books which are Subscribed for by those of Scotland, they are likewise to be bestowed on poor People, so far as is needful; and as for the Money which shall be got from those Highlanders, who are able to buy Books for themselves, it is to be kept in store as a Fund for another Impression of the Bible in Irish, or for Printing some such useful Treatise in that Language, as shall afterwards be thought most proper.
