PREFACE
This compilation was first suggested by the needs of
the organisers of the Pan-Celtic Congress held in Ediii
burgh in May, 1920. Acting as convener of the Scottish
Committee for that event, the editor found that there
was in existence no list of persons who took an active
interest in such matters, either in Scotland or in any of
tlte other Celtic countries. His resolve to meet this want
was cordially approved by the leaders of the Congress ;
circulars were issued to all whose addresses could be
discoverer], ami these were invited to suggest the names
of other© who ought to be included. The net result is uot
quite up to expectation, but it is better than at first
seemed probable. The Celt may not really be more shy
or more dilatory than men of other blood, but certainly
the response to this effort has not indicated on his part
any undue forwardness. Even now, after the lapse of a
year and the issue of a second and a third circular, the
list of Celtic authors and musicians is far from full.
Perhaps a second edition of the book, when called for,
may be more complete.
Such as it is this first Celtic Who's Who' will be found
useful as an authoritative book of reference, supplying
the addresses of well-known workers and the principal
facts regarding them. For that reason it must win the
approval and support of all interested in Celtic literature.
The book does not pretend to comprise the names of
living Celts who have won for themselves a position in
the politics, the literature, the science, the art or Hie
inventions of the world. Such names will be found in
the ordinary biographical year-books. This handbook ?s
concerned with those who are to-day recognised as con-
tributors to the literature or music, or who otherwise join
in the racial activities, of the Celtic peoples. Even here,
as already suggested, it is incomplete, but such as it is,
n. PREFACE.
and from its narrower province, the work shows that the
Celtic mind makes a greater contribution to general liter-
ature than is generally recognised.
Naturally and rightly a large part of this contribution
is expressed in the different Celtic languages, but not a
little is in French or English, and some of the rest will
yet be translated into these tongues and so made available
to fiie world at large.
It may he noted that the space occupied by the dif-
ferent Celtic nationalities is curiously disproportionate.
This was to be expected, for the life and sentiment of
the race do not flow with equal fulness in the different
countries. Already the interesting Celtic language of
Cornwall has ceased to exist as a spoken tongue, and the
Gaelic of the Isle of Man, that little Cinderella of tin-
Celtic sisters, is at a. low ebb. Even in Scotland, and
in spite of the laudable efforts of its lovers, the ancient
Gaelic is barely holding its own. But in Brittany the
Breton speech shows remarkable vigour despite official
discouragement ; in Ireland the native Gaelic is gaining
more in print than it is losing in current speech, and in
Wales, the ancient British or "Welsh, that indomitable
language that survived two great invasions, the Romnn
and the Saxon, is to-day a living evidence of robust
nationhood.
These general facts are reflected in the following
pages, with the exception that political distraction has
prevented Ireland from giving here its full representation,
and distance has deprived not only the Bretous but tin-
Celts of Australia and America of their proper shares.
The book has also some value as a quite reliable, if
somewhat sketchy index of the breadth of the Celtic field.
Ordinary French and English readers have usually but a
hazy notion of Celtic affairs, and, indeed, there is often,
apparent among the different Celtic peoples themselves
a tendency to confine attention to their own immediate
district, or at farthest to their own native country. But
the circuit of the Celtic Fatherland must wider go. And
a handbook like this, containing names and addresses and
some references to the work of Celtic students in many
PRE I \< E. III.
lands, will 1 1 • I p to correct the narrowing tendency and
to remind readers of the far-reaching scope ■■>;'■' variety
of ill- Celtic field.
Further examination of the contents of the book w : Il
reveal interesting facts regarding the diverse directions
in which members of the different Celtic nationalities
pursue their studies; the extraordinary differences in the
ages of students, from the ruddy stripling to the hoary
sage of Four-score years, and the equally marked differ-
ences in the avocations of those who form this literary
commonwealth. May their number increase!

In connection with the American Modern Language
Association, a Celtic group is being formed which will
include ail interested in Celtic studies who are connected
with institutions of learning in the United States and
Canada. Another and larger group will include repre-
sentatives of all branches of the Celtic race — Scottish,

The object is to stimulate in the Western Hemisphere
an interest in Celtic studies and to demonstrate the debt
of modern civilisation to the Celt. All who de«=ire to

It may also be noticed that Mr Henry Blaekwell, New

BUCHANAN ...
THE SACRED BARD
OF THE HIGHLANDS.
By LACHLAN AACBEAN
THE POEMS OF DUGALD BUCHANAN, rendered into English
Verse, and his CONFESSIONS, with his Picturesque Life, and an Analysis
of his Poetic Forms.
Buchanan is the most sublime of all the Gaelic baids, and his works are
here reproduced in English verse with all the force and fervour of the
original. The lofty imagery of" The Day of Judgment," the shrewd incisive-
ness and virile power of "The Skull," the striking picture of "The Hem."
or ideal man, and the philosophy of life embodied in the many-coloured
stanzas of " The Dream," are worthy of the race whose mentality they so
vividly exptess.
In the " Confessions," on the other hand, we see unveiled the dramatic
struggles of the human spirit agonising for deliverance. In this case, com-
plicated by a terrible episode in which the romantic Rebellion of the Claps
who followed Princs Charlie in 1745, resulted in a parallel tragedy in the
experience of this poet.
This is the first complete Edition of Buchanan's Works and his Life.
An admirable English version of tlie Spiritual Songs.— THE SCOTSM vx.
Here is a type of spiritual experience to which we are str?ii!_'ers. to which our own
time offers no parallel. Among the human documents of enduring interest aud psycholog-
ical value— Tin; TjJIES.
A valuable contribution to oar knowledge of the byeways of Scottish religion in
ihteenth century.— THE British Weekly.
Conveys to the English reader the precise sentiment, as nearly a? may tie. of the
Gaelic original. Mr Macbean's prefatory sketch of the poet's life is of absorbing interest.
