  • Gaelic Names of Plants
    [DA 1] <eng> GAELIC NAMES OF PLANTS [DA 2] “I study to bring forth some acceptable work: not striving to shew any rare invention that passeth a man’s capacity, but to utter and receive matter of some moment known and talked of long ago, yet over long hath been buried, and, as it seemed, lain dead, for any fruit it hath shewed in the memory of man.”—Churchward, 1588.

WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO NATURAL SCIENCE, AT WHOSE SUGGESTION THIS COLLECTION OF GAELIC NAMES OF PLANTS WAS UNDERTAKEN, This Work IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR. [DA 6] [Blank] [DA 7] PREFACE. THE Gaelic Names of Plants, reprinted from a series of articles in the ‘Scottish Naturalist,’ which have appeared during the last four years, are published at the request of many who wish to have them in a more convenient form. There might, perhaps, be grounds for hesitation in obtruding on the public a work of this description, which can only be of use to comparatively few; but the fact that no book exists containing a complete catalogue of Gaelic names of plants is at least some excuse for their publication in this separate form.

The small cairn is on Arthur’s Seat, a ridge of Hart Fell, whose broad top is to the left of this view over the smooth south-west flank of Swatte Fell to cliffs on White Coomb and, to their right, the twin tops of the transparently named Saddle Yoke. The instances of fell are within the Dumfriesshire and Galloway territory of this element, with few outliers farther north or east, as discussed inside in an article on ‘Gaelic and Scots in Southern Hill Names’. White Coomb may be named after the snow-bearing qualities of a coomb or ‘hollow in a mountain-side’ in its south-east face. Hart Fell and White Coomb are the same on William Crawford’s Dumfriesshire map of 1804, but Saddle Yoke is Saddleback and Swatte Fell is Swaw Fell, making it more doubtful that Swatte represents swart, referring to the long stretch of very dark cliffs on the far side.

Acting as convener ol the Scottish Committee for that event, the editor found that there was in existence no list of persons who took an acti^•p interest in such matters, either in Scotland or in any of the other Celtic countries. His resolve to meet this want was cordially approved by the lenxlers of tlie Congress circulars were issued to all wlrose addresses could be discovered, and these were invited to suggest the n-iines of others who ought to be included. The net result is not quite up to expectation, but it is better tlaan at first seemed probable. The Celt may not really be more shy or n.ore dilatory than men of other blood, but certainly the response to this elTort has not indicated on his pfirt any undue forwardness. Even now, after the lapse of a year and the issue of a second ;ind a third circular, tlie list of Celtic aaithors niid inu<;iciii::i.s is far from full.

  • Notes on the Plays
    Notes on the Plays THE SHADOW OF A GUNMAN The action of the play takes place in May 1920 at the height of the Anglo-Irish war, fought between the British forces and the Irish Republican Army. Here, the former are represented by an irregular militia of Black and Tans and Auxiliaries, recruited for counter­ terrorist activities in support of the regular troops and the Royal Irish Constabulary. By mid 1920 the ordinary people of Ireland, many of whom had been initially hostile to the revolutionaries (as can be seen in The Plough and the Stars), had become far more sympathetic to them-and openly antagonistic to the forces of the Crown, mostly as a result of the conduct of the irregular troops who often behaved far more lawlessly than the Auxiliary does in The Shadow of a Gunman.
