Book Description

Excerpt from A History of the Scottish Highlands, Highland Clans and Highland Regiments, Vol. 2: With an Account of the Gaelic Language, Literature and Music AS we have already (see ch. Xviii.) given a somewhat minute description of the clan system, it is unnecessary to enter again in detail upon that subject here. We have, per haps, in the chapter referred to, given the most brilliant side of the picture, still the reader may gather, from What is said there, some notion of what had to be done, what immense barriers had to be overcome, ere the High lander could be modernised. Any further de tails on this point will be learned from the Introduction to the History Of the Clans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
