Notes 1 "Dr M‘Gregor’s hymns, Dàin a chomhnadh cràbhaidh, are well-known wherever the Gaelic language is spoken. His Gaelic manuscrips include a translation of the Confession of Faith, the Psalms in metre, his hymns, and a few songs. His version of the Psalms is well worth publishing. From his poetic talents and his knowledge of the Hebrew language, he was well qualified to make a good version. As a specimen I give the first Psalm:"
Notes 2 "Dr M‘Gregor’s writings in English were published in 1859. They include a defence of the imprecations in the Psalms, an Essay on the Millenium, and a work on Baptism."
