Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Invernesss, Vol. 25: 1901-1903

Our Society has benefited largely by his benefactions, the last of many book presents being recorded above. He was Chief in 1878, and contributed many valuable papers to our Transactions. A chuid do Pharras dha! It is with extreme regret that we have to record the comparatively early death of Father Allan Macdonald of Eriskay. He was a storehouse of Highland folklore, which he ungrudgingly gave away to others to make literary use of; as an ideal parish priest, which he was, he is the prototype of Neil Munro's finest character in the "Children of the Tempest."

The literary output for the last two and a-half years has been unusually great, and it is with pleasure we hail so many Gaelic books. Rev. Mr Sinton has gathered into a sumptuous volume the "Poetry of Badenoch," with translations and historical facts. He is an ideal editor, and is himself not the least poet that Badenoch has produced. The Gaelic veteran, Mr Carmichael, has published the story of "Deirdre," with ballads, notes, and translations; it is a beautiful version of this well-known tale, gathered many years ago in the Isles. "Uirsgeulan Gaidhealach" is a series of Gaelic tales issued by the "Comunn Gaidhealach" (price 6d), intended mainly for educative purposes. In the same category is the little book of selection, also issued by them, entitled "Dain Thaghte"; and to this may be added Dr Macbain's "Higher Gaelic Readings," with grammar outlines. Mr Henry Whyte has issued a first book of "True Stories," translated from the English, and this volume contains an excellent account of the 245 Rebellion and the Wanderings of Prince Charles. A reprint of Mackenzie's "Beauties" allows that work to be bought at a reasonable price. Mr Mackay, publisher, Stirling, deserves the thanks of all Gaels for his many publications, great and small, Gaelic and English. He publishes for the "Comunn" a new threepenny monthly with the title of "Deo-Greine," a Macphersonic name which has caused some heart-burning; but the magazine is good. The Celtic Review has now been three years in existence, and is a most satisfactory publication, where learning and light literature both have their place.
