JOHN CRIIOUTON— PRINTER, 
 
COMPARATIVE VOCABULARY 
 
 or THB 
 
 GREEK AND GAELIC LANGUAGES. 
 
 As there ii no Greek type in the town where 
 this tract ii printed, the reader will pardon <he 
 want of it, and alio of the ipiritus asper which 
 it ia not convenient to uae. In thi« compariion 
 of the Greek with the Celtic, one branch only 
 of the Celtic ji madeune of, and no doubt addi- 
 tional proofi of an affinity migfht be found in the 
 Iriih, WeUh, and other Celtic tonjtues. The 
 Gaelic wordi introduced are all in modem uiie, 
 with about six or eight exceptions, and may be 
 found in the ezcellentGaelic Dictionary hy Dr. 
 Maclcod and Principal Dewar,(2d Edit., Ldin., 
 1933.) 
 
 When compiling thit comparative vocabula- 
 ry in IfiSS, I derived considerable assistance 
 from the Dictionarium Scoto-Celticum, ('i vols. 
 4to. Edinb. 183b,) and one or two suzf^stions 
 I have found in two papers by Mr. VVilliams, 
 in the Trans. Roy. Soc. Edinb. vol. 13. 
 
 It is BuiKciently evident that there are many 
 words (nearly one half the words in the Greek 
 language) in Celtic and Greek having the same 
 sound and meaning, and as for the qaestion,which 
 language borrowed these from the other, we may 
 be almost certain that the Celtic did not borrow 
 them from the Greek^ and that the Greek bor- 
 rowed them from the Celtic, derived ^hem from 
 some intermediate language, or acquired them 
 from a common source.
