Such a work is the more necessary too, as amongst the dictionaries that we have, there is not a tolerable English-Irish one. Nothing reflects the deplorable status of the language in the eighteenth century, nothing shows the hopeless view taken even by Irishmen themselves of their native tongue and its literature more clearly than the...
