Thomas Frost and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Celtic MSS. in relation to the Macpherson fraud" by James Cruikshank Roger is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book critically examines claims regarding the authenticity of the Celtic manuscripts purportedly translated by James Macpherson, arguing that they may be forgeries. The central topic revolves around the alleged misrepresentation of Scottish Celtic culture and literature. In this work, Roger presents a comprehensive critique of Macpherson’s translations, asserting that the supposed Gaelic manuscripts do not exist and casting doubt on the evidence provided by Celtic scholars like Professor Mackinnon. He explores the implications of such claims on the understanding of Scotland's cultural heritage, suggesting that much attributed to Celtic origin may actually have Scandinavian influences. By referencing prominent figures like Dr. Johnson and J. M. Kemble, Roger builds a case against the credibility of Macpherson's work and highlights the complexities of establishing a clear historical narrative about Scotland's past and its linguistic roots.
