Excerpt from The Celtic Review, Vol. 4: July, 1907 to April, 1908 TO know the native literature will help rather than hinder the study Of the literature and history of other races. George Buchanan was the greatest scholar that Scotland ever pro duced, and no one has ever said that his knowledge Of Gaelic, his mother tongue, hampered his scholarship, or hindered his advancement as a man of affairs.
