Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The College Irish Grammar, Vol. 19: Containing, Besides the Usual Subject of Grammar, Some Remarks in the Form of Dissertation on the Orthography of the Language; How It Can Become Fixed; On the Number of Declensions, and Number of Conjugations, &C
In the conjugation of verbs, I go more minutely into detail than has been done by any other.
In Syntax, many rules are given that were never printed before.
In the Prosody, I show the capabilities of the Irish lan guage for all the purposes of melody and song, and how easy it is to distil through it the sweetest effusions of the Grecian or Roman muse, in measures of the same kind as those in which the great masters of old scattered the poetic fire; and how gently it will rise and fall with the accented measure of English or Continental poetry, preserving not only the rhythm and melody of the verse, but also its graces of cadence and beauties of rhyme.
