Hi, I ran across a book on the Irish language and feel that I might be a proper Kerry topic. Here is a url where you can view (and copy if you wish) an 1880 book for learning the Irish Language. My apologies because I don't have the skills to shorten the url. It is very long. But, I do offer an other alternative if it doesn't work. While I can't accept requests for help to get you to it, I suspect that you will find it worth your effort. And anyone who does know how to do the tiny url's, please feel free to add to this message. http://books.google.com/books?id=f8cDAAAAQAAJ&pg=PR11&dq=Society+for+the+Preservation+of+the+Irish+Language#PPP1,M1 If the url above doesn't work for you, try going to http://books.google.com and doing a search under the subject "Society for the preservation of the Irish Language" (Note - be sure to use the quotation marks) You will be taken to a book which was printed in 1880 and which can be downloaded. Be warned though that the book contains over 100 pages and may take a while to download. The title of the book is An cheud (-dara) leabhar gaedhilge. First (-Third) Irish book. Cactusguy.jack
