Matthias James O'Conway (1766-1842) was born in Ireland but lived all his adult life in the New World. His travels ranged from the Northwest Wilderness of the Ohio Frontier to the Spanish possessions of Cuba and Louisiana. He eventually settled in Philadelphia, then the United States capital. O'Conway made his living as a translator and teacher of languages and left a number of important publications and manuscripts in philology and lexicography. He was an influential member of the Catholic community in the early United States, being an early supporter of Elizabeth Seton, first United States citizen to be canonized. O'Conway had a large family, several of whom had interesting lives in their own light. This account of O'Conway provides a new perspective on Irish emigrants in the early years of the American Republic.

Is céim an stórchiste seo chun bearna i bhfoclóireacht na Gaeilge a líonadh. Foilsíodh níos mó na stórchiste Gaeilge amháin roimhe seo ach níl ceann ar bith acu chomh cuimsitheach leis an leabhar thíos. Ina theannta sin is de réir téama a leagadh amach na stórchistí eile atá le fáil cheana féin, ach is in ord aibitre a liostaítear na focail sa saothar seo, rud a éascaíonn go mór a úsáid don té atá ag baint feidhme as. Taobh istigh de gach iontráil is in ord aibítre a thugtar na focail; ach dealaítear cialla éagsúla go minic trí sraitheanna aibít- reacha iomadúla. I gcorp an leabhair seo tugtar ceannfhocal, roinn chainte, agus gluais Bhéarla le socrú brí ghinearálta an fhocail faoi leith. Tugtar lipéid i mBéarla freisin chun úsáid na bhfocal éagsúil a thagann ina ndiaidh a shoiléiriú. Is beag nach bhfuil 12,000 iontráil i bhfoirm alt sa stórchiste. Tá thart ar 44,000 d'fhocail no de leaganacha in úsáid sna hiontrálacha sin. Tá 118 bosca eolais sa leabhar agus iontu sin feicfear liostaí de théarmaí a bhaineann lena chéile taobh istigh den aon réimse céille amháin. Is beag nach bhfuil 11,000 leagan faoi leith sna hiontrálacha úd. - This thesaurus seeks to fill a gap in Irish lexicography. More than one Irish language thesaurus has been published before now. None, however, is as comprehensive as the present work. Moreover previous thesauri have been compiled thematically. In this work words are arranged in alphabetical order, a feature which will greatly facilitate use of the book. Within an entry words are ordered alphabetically, though different senses are also often distinguished with multiple alphabetic runs. The structure of entries gives headword, part of speech, and a gloss in English that helps to establish the semantic domain for the words which follow. A number of register labels are given to help specify the usage of the words which follow them. The number of entries appearing as paragraphs in the thesaurus is nearly 12,000. A total number of nearly 44,000 distinct words or phrases is used within these entries. There are 118 boscaí eolais which are largely lists of associated terms within a broad semantic domain. A total number of nearly 11,000 distinct items is used within these entries.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland regnes som en av de viktigste barne­bøkene i verden, kanskje den aller viktigste. I Norge har fortellingen vært kjent som enten Else i Eventyrland eller som Alice i Eventyrland. Vi har gode grunner til å anta at det var søstrene Augusta og Emma Hagerup (kalt E. A. Hagerup) som første gang formidlet Lewis Carroll's fortelling til norsk i Børnenes Blad 1. oktober 1870. Her presenterer vi denne oversettelsen både på norsk og engelsk. Boken inneholder også en bibliografi over norske Alice-oversettelser. Alice's Adventures in Won­der­land is re­garded as one of the most important chil­dren's books in the world, perhaps the most important one. In Norway, the story has been known as either Else i Eventyr­land or Alice i Eventyr­land. We have reason to believe that it was the sisters Augusta and Emma Hagerup (called E. A. Hagerup) who presented Lewis Carroll's story in Norwegian for the first time, in the magazine called Børnenes Blad ('Chil­dren's Magazine') on 1 October, 1870. This book chronicles this story, and presents the text in Norwegian and English translation, as well as a bibliography of Norwegian Alices.

Eight hundred years into humanity's future and the ties of blood are just as strong as ever. On her maiden voyage into deep space, the Wryneck, a prototype starship, was destroyed after her captain gave the order to self-destruct. Three decades later, Tiberius MacAlpin, the son of the Wryneck's captain, is haunted by dreams that seem to show him what happened to his father's ship. A new ship. A new mission. The same desire for answers. Tiberius has always believed his father was not in the wrong to act as he did, and is determined to clear his name, whatever it takes-even if it means uncovering long-held secrets borne by those who were close friends. Is it so wrong for a son to believe his father's innocence until he uncovers the truth?Lenny Montgomery was born in 1982, the eldest of a large creative family. "Storytelling was an important part of growing up which fuelled my desire to write from an early age-including scribbling 'stories' on the nursery wall as a toddler. (Sorry, Dad!)" Now living in Edinburgh, surrounded by the legacy of personal writing heroes such as Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson, Montgomery writes historical and science fiction in English and Scottish Gaelic.
