Manx Society for the Publication of National Documents

The Manx Society for the Publication of National Documents, or simply the Manx Society was founded in February 1858 with the objective of publishing reprints of historical documents relating to the Isle of Man, its people and culture. The society survived for 25 years and during that time published 33 volumes of documents. These included an English-Manx dictionary based on the surviving manuscript of John Kelly,^[1] books on the laws and currency of the island, reprints of accounts of visits to the island, the Book of Common Prayer in Manx, and a translation of the Chronicles of Mann.
