To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In some in- stances the Bardic office was hereditary, but according to Horace, as the poetic gift is not so, the office of Seanchie or family historian, was generally joined to it. So when the Bardic gift may have disappeared in any one of the 46 THE GRANTS OF GLENMORISTON.
successive links of the official chain, the want was supplied by the Seanchie, and thus a con- tinuity was preserved, both of a class, as well as of song and narrative.
The Bards, of whose productions we give specimens in th...e following pages, are to be ranked, rather among amateur devotees of the Celtic muse. And though we do not wish to exaggerate the merits of their Bardic pro- ductions, we do claim, that among poets of their class, they occupy a position of con- siderable merit. We find in the social fabric, different grades of men, differing educationally as well as intellectually and socially ; so there have been along the ages, poets that have addressed themselves to such respectively ; and Bards, such as the following, who though they do not profess to soar to the highest regions of poetry, yet claim their own place, and also fill their place as homely warblers, with gifts as enabled them to express their sentiments skilfully, suitably, and attractively, so as to interest and educate the circle to which they belouo;ed.
