About this book
The Literature of the Highlanders is a book by Nigel MacNeill. The text says that Patrick, the saint, in order to convey to the bard some conception of the Creator's omniscience, says that it would not be possible for the smallest midge to enter heaven without His knowledge. The bard replies that this was very different from Finn, son of Cuhal, in his hospitable hall, where thousands might enter, partake of his cheer, and depart without notice.
The text says that Patrick gets somewhat impatient with his rather unsatisfactory pupil, and requests Ossian to give up his elegiac strains over the departed glory of the Clan Baoisgne, and to relate the particulars of some hunt, battle, or adventure. The text says that Macintyre, known as Ailein nan Sionach, or fox-hunting Allan, was a native of Kintyre, and that very few Highlanders have ever heard of this author. The text says that the struggle described in the popular ballads of the Finians was a real one.
