By the time the end of the book is reached the student has covered a course that should enable him to read with ease any work in Modern Irish and to write and speak the language fairly well.”—(Waterford News). "A most important addition to Father O Nolan's previously published works on Irish, and a valuable contribution to the text books for the study of Irish.”—(Waterford News).

'L. Ó. R." in Irish Independent. His treatment of the verb ir is a most valuable piece of research work By his thorough investigation of this one aspect of Irish construction alone (the verb 1r), Father O Nolan has made all students and writers of Irish his debtor, for he has provided them with a logical explanation for all the various usages of this most complicated verb."—" S. O. C." in The Freeman's Journal. . "This invaluable book will demonstrate to all competent readers that Irish as a basis of education will be the most valuable engine for mind-forming that our education can find . . .
