There may be some small productions of merit, such as a Sermon by the _Rev. Archibald Cook_, and similar publications, which are unnoticed here; but I do not think that many works of any importance have escaped reference. As already mentioned in another chapter, the Gaelic is cultivated in Canada as at home. We are all familiar with the name of the Rev. D. B. Blair, but there have been many others in the Dominion who have laboured to keep the flame of Gaelic literature alive. Patrick Macgregor the well-known barrister, was one of them; and the name of Dr Neil MacNish reminds us that there are not a few even now—men of ability and patriotic spirit—who strenuously uphold the interests of Albin’s ancient tongue. PERIODICALS. Strenuous efforts were put forth early in this century to supply the Highlanders with useful literature in their own tongue, but the necessary sustained support has not hitherto been accorded to such efforts. Popular poetry and religious writings have therefore been the main channels through which literature has reached the Gaelic mind. The following list embraces the chief publications of this kind:— In 1803 the _Ros-Roine_, a magazine, commenced, but the publication ceased with the fourth number. In 1829-31 _An Teachdaire Gaidhealach_, a monthly, was sent forth by W. R. MacPhun, publisher, Glasgow, with the elder Dr Norman Macleod as editor. In 1835-36 _An Teachdaire Ur Gaidhealach_ was published. In 1840-43 _Cuiartear nan Gleann_ appeared, with Dr Macleod once more as chief support and editor. In 1848 _Fear-tathaich nam Beann_ made its appearance only to succumb, like its predecessors, after a brief existence. Some of the writers associated with these efforts were Lachlan Maclean, Archibald Sinclair, Campbell (the Glasgow publisher), and the late Rev. Dr Archibald Clerk of Kilmallie. The Disruption of the Church of Scotland in 1843 became the chief theme of an ably conducted periodical, _An Fhianuis_, edited by the Rev. Dr Mackintosh Mackay. Even in Canada attempts were made to keep the Gaelic alive by means of magazine literature. Between 1840 and 1841 Urquhart published in Canada _Cuairtear nan Coiltean_; and about 1851 John Boyd published _An Cuairtear Og_ in Antigonish, N.S. For many years afterwards no efforts were made to publish magazines till 1871, when Mr Angus Nicholson, a native of Lewis, published in Canada the first three numbers of _An Gaidheal_ (THE GAEL). On the advice of some Celtic friends the spirited projector of this venture transplanted his young sapling into Scottish soil in 1872, where it continued to appear for about six years. In 1872-4 _Bratach na Firinn_, chiefly a religious magazine, appeared, published by the writer in his undergraduate days.
