Obs.
—The sentences
in the
several exercises
embrace
only such
words, for the
greater part,
as
are
given
in
the
lists
at
each
heading. Sometimes words in former lists
or
exercises are
again brought into account. The learner
should therefore make himself
thoroughly familiar
with
the
words, jtheir sounds, and
their idiomatic tm'us
of ex-
pression,
to prevent reference to
former Lessons.
To translate these English
sentences
into Irish, and
to
write them
in
the Celtic character, to speak them from
time
to time when alone or with others,
must at once
ensure
a
knowledge
of
the
language
as it
is spoken
and
written.
Begin
forthwith
to
speak it.
