Product Description
VALLANCEY, Charles. A Grammar of the Iberno-Celtic, or Irish Language. Dublin: printed by R. Marchbank, for G. Faulkner, T. Ewing, and R. Moncrieffe. 1773.
Quarto: [viii], li[i], 192 pp., with vignette coat-of-arms to dedication, 8 engraved plates. Bound in twentieth-century buckram, a little faded on spine.
This is a fuller and better edition of Essay on the Celtic Language, published in the previous year. Vallancey may be regarded as the founder of a school of writers who theorise on Irish history, language, and literature, without having read the original chronicles, acquired the language, or studied the literature, and who have had some influence in retarding real studies, but have added nothing to knowledge. Dictionary of National Biography.
