" In form and arrangement, and in the quantity of useful and practical matter it contains, this book is by far the best Irish Grammar that has yet appeared.'' — -An Ct-Ai-oeAni Solinf . " I like it very much. While it is sufficiently full to give the learner a good sound knowledge of the structure of the language, it is simple, well-arranged, and practical. It will make the study of Irish easy for those who undertake it for the first time ; while it contains all the principles which will enable those who already know a little about Irish to acquire a fuller knowledge of the language." — Cardinal Logue. " Mr. Craig, in the work before us, is the first, as far as the writer is aware, who has essayed to construct a modern Irish Grammar in accordance with. the colloquial language. He has in many instances thrown light on subjects that are entirely passed over by other writers. No Irish student should be with- out it." — A^n ^ao-óaI. " A work to which many an eager student will turn with ex- pectancy and profit. It is a meritorious work, of great scope and vastness of detail.'' — Derry JournaU " Mr. Craig's Grammar, written for the spoken language, containing the beauties of Irish expression and thought, will re- call students from the corrupt, unidiomatic Irish, of which there is so much in current literature in the language. His work is admirably arranged to help the student forward, and to interest him in his progress to a knowledge of the language The ex- planations are simple and clear. Much that has been obscure is made clear." — Freemcui^s Jour/iaL The Composition. " Students of Irish will welcome an extremely useful book, 'Modern Irish Composition,' by Mr. J. P. Craig. It is to some extent a companion volurrje to his ' Modern Irish Grammar.' Like the Grammar, it deals^ altogether with the spoken Irish of to-day. Its aim is to enable the student to speak and write the language as it still live^, and, from its remarkable clearness, we believe it is admirably calculated to achieve this end. The book is really an attempt, and, to a large extent, a successful one, to do for Irish what ' Bradley's Arnold' and similar works do for Latin and other languages." — Irish Weeldy Independent. " Although I have only had time to glance over it, I have con- vinced myself that your ' Modern Irish Composition' is a very valuable aid to those who wish to master modern Irish. In order, simpHcity, and accuracy it could hardly be surpassed. It bears clear evidence that your experience in teaching has enabled you to appreciate and smooth over the difficulties with which beginners are beset. I believe that anyone who does the exercises in your book conscientiously, with the help of your very full vocabulary, and the aid of your Grammar, cannot fail to acquire a very full knowledge of modern Irish." — Cardinal LOGUE. " Mr. Craig has already done much service in the propagation of the Irish language, for he has provided two successful books that came to stay. These are ' Clann Lir' and a ' Modern Irish Grammar.' The present book is a fitting sequel, and 'to make a third it will join the former two' in attorcling a trinity of useful instructors. Mr. Craig's arrangement in the way of exercises is simply perfection." — The Shamrock, " Mr. Craig has established a repute for good practical work in the development of the revived study of the Irish language. His 'Modern Irish Grammar' was a timely and valuable service, and we have now the complement in his ' Modern Irish Compo- sition.' Mr. Craig's book grips the student mind the moment it is opened." — Derry Journal , " We have gone through the pages of Mr. Craig's ' Modern Irish Composition' with great interest, and our expectations have not been disappointed. The same common-sense method which Mr. Craig followed in his Grammar he has adhered to in the present work. It is really a serviceable book, in which the rules of composition and the idioms of the language are set out clearly and intelligibly by one who is a teacher of uncommon skill. The vocabulary appended is admirable in its fulness of explanation as to the idiomatic uses of the various words." — Daih/ Independent. Clann Lir. " It would be difficult to find in any language a more beau- tiful little story than Mr. Craig's ' Clann Lir.' It is a little story only in the sense of being short. The theme is a subject for a great Epic or a Tragedy, and in a small compass this brief narration reads like a summary of either one or the other. In Mr. Craig's arrangement the Irish is idiomatic, concise, and easily followed. It is well no translation has been added for either prose or verse. The verse itself is both varied and pleasing. It contains four simple Hnes that voice human woe only as the Sacred Scriptures or the Greek Tragedians can express it- The cry for good Irish text-books to suit the Inter- mediate Schools w^as perfectly just. Mr. Craig's book is a sample of what we need." — Most Rev. Dr. O'Donnell. " Mr. Craig has done a great service to Irish-sp3aking children by putting the beautiful story of the * Children of Lir' into modern Irish. The language of the older version is too stiff for young readers, and by the time they have waded through it the enjoyment of the story is spoilt for them, and their interest is gone. ' Clann Lir ' would make an excellent text-book for the Intermediate, and would be welcomed by many poor children who are now groaning over the difficulties of reading works, the language of which is hundreds of years older than the Irish they know." — The Leader. *' Mr. Craig's ' Clann Lir ' will make an excellent text-book for schools and colleges, as well as a suitable reader for branches of the Gaelic League. There is a very full vocabulary appended, and each page is furnished with copious notes, brief and to the point, which do not weary the student by intermin- able discussion of matters unnecessary to the right understand- ing of the text.'' — The Irish Ney:s. "Mr. Craig has told the beautiful stor}^ of the * Children of Lir ' in a style that leaves nothing to be desired. There are many students of Irish who can find little pleasure in reading the old text, but the greatest pleasure will be derived from reading Mr. Craig's modem version." — Dedly Independent. " His version is very clear, and though idiomatic, is so simple that it can be easily understood by any speaker of Irish, to whatever district he may belong." — WeeMy Freeman, SEALY, BRYERS & WALKER, publisbers, Middle Abbey Street, Dublin, And from all Booksellers» QXann ^isnig.

Feargus having come to the port. After verbs of motion io the often signifies into the = Ax\n x\n, which is contracted to Ann. This Ann is used before masculine nouns whose initials are vowels, 'o, or c. In other cases it takes the form of nA. Both forms, strangely enough, are followed by the genitive; masculine nouns are aspirated ("o and u excepted), and feminine nouns beginning with a vowel take h : — He went to the fair. Cuai-ó fé Ann AonAig. He went to the door. Cuaix) fé Ann -ooitAip. He went to the well. Cuait) f é Ann cobAiji. He went to the hill. Cuaix) fé nA cnuic. He went to the port. Cuaix) fé nA ptiijiu.

When in English a noun used in a partitive sense is preceded by a possessive adjective, the word cuiT) (part, portion) is often used in Irish : My 6reai^=m'AtiAn, 43 or mo CU1X) AjtAin (the noun cin-o of course governs the following noun in the gen. case) ; my horses = mo cApAilt, or mo cui-o CApAll. N.B. — A thing is partitive if it can be divided without destroying its individuality. For example we can divide a piece of bread into several parts, and still each part is bread. In like manner we can divide a number of horses (say twelve into four parts), and still we liave horses. But if we divide one horse, we no longer have a horse. Hence, my horse can be rendered only one way — mo cApAÍt. 61. lonjAtiCAf PÓ5. A great many kisses. lon^^AnuAf (pr. ionc^Nf ). 62. A 50 1 riA h-éi|ieAnn.
