Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Gaelic Society of Inverness, Vol. 10: 1881-83 WE have now pleasure in presenting the Members with the tenth volume of the Society's Transactions. It is larger than any of its predecessors, and it is to be hoped that, as regards quality, it will not be found inferior to any of them. During the period which has elapsed since the publication of Volume ix., many events of great moment, in the Highlands, and in connection with the Highlands, have occurred. Chief among these must be held the Royal Commission, appointed to enquire into the condition of the Highland crofters. With the grievances, and alleged grievances, which were brought before the Commission, this Society, which has invariably endeavoured to steer clear of all political and controversial questions, will not deal. At the same time it is a pleasure to us to point out, and express our satis faction at, the great amount of native talent, hitherto dormant, which the advent of the Commission has roused and brought to light.
