I recently found an old book written in Gaelic. Its content is unknown to me and the only information I understood was the publication date, 1840, written in roman numerals. The title page is written as follows:

EI ORUCHWYLIAETH, EI WEITHREDIADAU,

At least I hope this is Gaelic, because that took a while to type. Thank you in advance, I look foward to your responses.
