Transcriber’s Note

Obvious printer’s errors have been silently corrected; as far as possible, however, original spelling and formatting have been retained. No corrections have been made to any Gaelic text as printed, with the sole exception of the third occurence of “Fire fire nì mi umad” on page 145, which had been misprinted.

In the printed book, an unnumbered page containing an editor’s note was inserted between pages 34 and 35. In this file, the note has been placed inside a box, given the subheading “Editor’s Note”, and moved directly after the paragraph to which it seems to refer, on page 35.

Footnotes were presented inconsistently in the printed book, sometimes appearing at the bottom of the page and sometimes at the ends of sections. In this book, all notes have been standardised and moved to the end of the relevant section, sometimes alongside a “Notes” section which was already present.

In this file, the formatting of the “Boy’s Games” section, which was internally inconsistent, has been standardised for the sake of clarity.
