Excerpt from The Book of Common Prayer in Manx Gaelic, Vol. 1: Being Translations Made by Bishop Phillips in 1610, and by the Manx Clergy in 1765 Mr. Moore has written both a memoir of Bishop Phillips and a brief account of his ms. For this volume, so there hardly remains anything to be said in the preface. I may however mention, that the two Prayer-books, as now printed in parallel columns, would form a larger volume than it has been the custom of the Manx Society to issue. It has, accordingly, been deemed advisable to divide the work into two volumes, the first of which will be found to end most conveniently with the Commination Service, while the second will contain the text of the Psalms, followed by appendices, and an essay on the phonology of Manx Gaelic by the writer of these lines. With regard to the English text of the Epistles and Gospels which we have appended to the Manx, it is but right to say that this is an exact transcript of the English revision of 1604, and that it forms, as we are led to understand, the only reprint of those portions probably in existence.
