So when the Bardic gift may have disappeared in any one of the 46 THE GRANTS OF GLENMORISTON. successive links of the official chain, the want was supplied by the Seanchie, and thus a con- tinuity was preserved, both of a class, as well as of song and narrative. The Bards, of whose productions we give specimens in th...e following pages, are to be ranked, rather among amateur devotees of the Celtic muse.
