Excerpt from The Irish Language and Irish Intermediate Education Neither dead nor foreign languages shall have any advantage over it: it shall no longer have a stigma attached to it. It has been represented to the Gaelic League from many quarters, - by persons prominently identified with Intermediate Education, as well as by others, - that a series of pamphlets ought to be published, containing, in convenient form, the evidence given during the Vice-Regal Inquiry in reference to Irish, as well as all documents furnished to the Commission on the subject, or otherwise made public during the progress of the controversy. At a recent meeting of the Publication Committee, this suggestion was considered, and a resolution that it should be acted upon was passed. The present writer was requested to prepare the pamphlets for publication. The matter which it is proposed to publish in convenient and popular form is at present buried away in sundry nooks and corners of several large Blue-books, and in the columns of periodicals and newspapers. It may be classified under the following heads: - (a) Answers to queries sent to examiners, teachers, etc., before the public sittings of the Commission of Inquiry began. (b) Oral evidence taken during the sittings of the Commission. (c) Memoranda sent in by witnesses and others. (d) Letters and other documents handed in. (e) Articles and letters in the Press. It is no easy task to trace in the Blue-books and elsewhere, and to collect, and arrange everything that bears upon the Irish language. But the Gaelic League has decided that it must be done, and that all who are interested in the subject shall have placed within their reach in convenient form, the whole case made on behalf of the language. Everything is given, for and against. Nothing has been withheld. The League believes that it has everything to gain and nothing to lose by the most exhaustive discussion, by going forth into the full light of day, and by allowing all sides to be heard as thoroughly as possible. Professor Mahaffy and Dr. Atkinson will not be denied a hearing any more than the President of the Gaelic League. The present pamphlet contains all the matter, bearing upon the Irish language, to be found in Answers to Queries. Other pamphlets containing Oral Evidence, Memoranda, Letters, etc., will be published in due course. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
