'The Melancholy of the Gael', 1908
Scope and Contents
Script or notes for what appears to be a public lecture, titled 'the Melancholy of the Gael'. This appears to be about the tone of Gaelic literature, rather than about the cultural traits of Highlanders.
There is another copy of this lecture in this collection (B8), which appears to have more notes, and less scripted prose.
