The lessons in Manx Gaelic, which form the contents of part two of this book are a continuation of the series published by the Manx Society in the autumn of 1935, under the title of "Beginning Manx Gaelic."

Like the earlier lessons, the following appeared serially in the columns of "Mona's Herald," which explains the week-to-week references to be found in the introductions to each chapter.

They are based on the late Edmund Goodwin's "First Lessons in Manx," and thanks are due to the trustees of his estate for permission to make use of that work, which had long been out of print.

Thanks are also due to Mr. J. J. Kneen, M.A., who not only revised the weekly lessons and the final proof sheets, but also provided much additional matter which enhances the value of this little volume. It is issued in the hope that it will further stimulate the study of the Island's mother tongue.

October, 1936.
