Excerpt from An Irish-English Dictionary: With Copious Quotations From the Most Esteemed Ancient and Modern Writers, to Elucidate the Meaning of Obscure Words, and Numerous Comparisons of Irish Words With Those of Similar Orthography, Sense, or Sound in the Welsh and Hebrew Languages
Those that are acquainted with the press, will be inclined to excuse a few typographical errors which do not materially affect the sense, and of which description are, I hope, the most of the errors to be found uncorrected in my work. If it shall be found that I have omitted much, let it be remembered that I have added a great deal; and if my work is not so full or perfect as was expected, still it contains upwards of twenty-thousand words more than are contained in former Irish lexicons, and consequently so much the nearer to perfection.

Excerpt from An Irish-English Dictionary: With Copious Quotations From the Most Esteemed Ancient and Modern Writers, to Elucidate the Meaning of Obscure Words, and Numerous Comparisons of Irish Words With Those of Similar Orthography, Sense, or Sound in the Welsh and Hebrew Languages
Independently of the claims which this language has upon the general scholar for consideration, and upon the descendants of the aborigines for protection, it merits the attention of the divine, the lawyer, the physician, and of all those who have to converse with the people, whose living and only language it is. It is the only medium through which instruction can be conveyed to at least four-fifths of the people of Ireland. The divine, therefore, who neglects this language, should Consider how far he is competent to discharge the duty he owes to those souls committed to his care.. The great utility of this language to the lawyer is proved frequently in the year. In every county, at every sessions, trials occur in which prisoners or witnesses can be heard only through the medium of an interpreter, probably but ill qualified for such an office, and who, by the mistake of a single word in the evidence, may cause the acquittal of a murderer, or the murder of an innocent. The consideration of a possibility of such an occurrence has caused Sir W. C. Smith, Bart., one of the Barons of the Exchequer, to study the Irish language, in which he has made great progress, and set a praiseworthy example to other gentlemen of the bar. To the physician several cases must have occurred where his scientific skill was baffled by his ignorance of the language in which only his patient could clearly point out the nature of his complaint. And every person who has dealings in the country, has daily proofs of the incon Venience arising from a want of the language of the people with whom he has to converse.
