Excerpt from Celtic Britain These are the days of little books, and when the author was asked to add one to their number, he accepted the invitation with the jaunty simplicity Of an inexperienced hand, thinking that it could not give him much trouble to expand or otherwise modify the account given Of early Britain in larger works but closer acquaintance with them -soon convinced him Of the folly of such a plan - he had to study the subject for himself or leave it alone. In trying to do the former he probably read enough to have enabled him to write a larger work than this 5 but he would be ashamed to confess how long it has occupied him.

The Mythology of Ancient Britain and Ireland (Classic Reprint) by Charles Squire Pdf
Excerpt from The Mythology of Ancient Britain and Ireland This little book does not profess in any way to supplement the volume upon Celtic Religion already contributed to this series. It merely aims at calling the attention of the general reader to the mythology of our own country, that as yet little-known store of Celtic tradition which reflects the religious conceptions of our earliest articulate ancestors. Naturally, its limits compel the writer to dogmatise, or, at most, to touch but very briefly upon disputed points, to ignore many fascinating side-issues, and to refrain from putting forward any suggestions of his own. But he has based his work upon the studies of the leading Celtic scholars, and he believes that the reader may safely accept it as in line with the latest re.

Ireland and the Making of Britain (Classic Reprint) by Benedict Fitzpatrick Pdf
Excerpt from Ireland and the Making of Britain Between the era of the Roman and the era of the N or man the Irish race was the master race in Britain, evoking the spontaneous homage and emulation of Pict, Briton, Angle and Saxon by reason of its rounded national life and rich and stable civilization, on which these exterior peoples were permitted to draw freely as the main reser voir of their aspiration and development. Withdraw out of the picture Ireland and the influences that emanated from it and it is safe to say that the history of what are now called the British Isles between the departure of the Roman and the arrival of the Norman would be represented by a blank almost as complete as the vacuum registered between the arrival of the English in what is now England and the arrival of Augustine and Aidan.

Celtic Britain and the Pilgrim Movement (Classic Reprint) by G. Hartwell Jones Pdf
Excerpt from Celtic Britain and the Pilgrim Movement The growth Of religious thought, Ethnic, Hebrew, or Christian, besides being Of supreme moment, is Of an interest so perennial that no apology should be needed for presenting any evidence not hitherto easily accessible. It has been my custom for some years, whilst occupied with the study Of ecclesiastical history, to jot down, or at least to make a mental note of anything that seemed speciallv to bear upon Wales, Cornwall, Ireland, or Scot land and as I pursued my investigations (begun solely for the satisfaction Of my own curiosity) the cultural Significance Of the pilgrim movement was strongly borne in upon my mind. Whether we consider its many-sided character, its human elements, its doctrinal import, its intellectual fertility, or the tenacity Of this irrepressible instinct throughout the ages, it appears to challenge comparison with any other field Of enquiry; and after a considerable amount Of material had accumulated, it was more than once pointed out to me that the publica tion Of what I had garnered might serve a useful pur pose; a suggestion in which the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion readily acquiesced. The pleasure which the preparation of the work has afforded me, during years of enforced exile, will be enhanced tenfold, if it proves that my expatriation has not prevented me from rendering Wales some service by throwing light upon an Obscure and neglected phase Of her religious and mental evolution. Whilst the work was being shaped, the question Of method cost me much thought. Assuming that manyreaders would be unfamiliar with both the Celtic and the ecclesiological aspects of the subject, I was obliged to steer between the Scylla of redundance and _the Charybdis of compression and baldness. Just as I was speculating how to escape-from this dilemma, I had an opportunity-oi discussing the main lines Of procedure with an historian and literary critic, on whose long ex perience I could confidently rely, and he confirmed my views. When the work had been revised, he was kind enough to read through portions of the manu script which might still be in doubt, and, as the follow ing letter shows, saw no reason to change his Opinion Upon every occasion your method of proceeding has been fully justified on two grounds. The contents of the book are, in many cases, such as to require a careful pre liminary preparation for what is to follow, and the work contains hardly anything that could be spared without detriment to the whole. You are obliged to give in formation for want of which the work would be positively unintelligible to most people. Though I am not unac quainted with ecclesiastical history, Often found the sort of focussing of general principles, before adducing the new evidence in which the work abounds, of great assistance in forming a comprehension of the fresh material. On the other hand, it is certain that among those whose keenest attention will be directed to its Celtic features, there will be many as ignorant of ecclesiology as others are of Celtic history. The Celtic scholar's need of some guidance, when ecclesiastical history is put before him, is in fact not only excusable, but a phenomenon that will appear natural to anyone who has ever seriously studied anything.

Songs of the Celtic Past (Classic Reprint) by Norreys Jephson O'Conor Pdf
Excerpt from Songs of the Celtic Past Texte, Vol. I, from the British Museum Manu script, Egerton, 1782. Because this seems thelog ical ending, and all that follows detracts from the unity Of the central theme, I have carried the story only as far as the end Of paragraph four teen, where occur the words The stories of E0 chaid and Etain are here related. The courtship plays SO small a part both in the original Irish and in my adaptation, that I have chosen The Story of Ailill and Etain as the most fitting title.

Excerpt from The Celtic Tragedy: British Races, Languages and Religions; The Anglo-Saxon Myth and Orange Fanaticism For over fourteen hundred years, since the Romans left Britain to take care of itself and the German tribes commonly called Angles d Saxons got a foothold in the Island of Britain there never has been a single days peace between themselves: and the natives of the British Isles. The Angles and Saxons started the wrong way in a new country among strangers and they have continued persistently in the wrong way in dealing with the original natives ever since. The Romans and Normans were wiser and more diplomatic in their dealings with the natives than the German tribes mentioned.

Celtic Remains (Classic Reprint) by Lewis Morris Pdf
Excerpt from Celtic Remains After the lapse of upwards of a century after his death, the principal literary labour which occupied the greater part of the lifetime of Lewis Morris is now for the first time made public. With the exception of a few pages, by way of specimen, appended to a short account of the work and its author, which appeared in the Archwologia Cambrensis for 1 872, no portion of the Celtic Remains is known to have been printed, though not unfrequently referred to, and often eulogised, by some of our antiquarian writers of a past generation.

The Norse Influence on Celtic Scotland (Classic Reprint) by George Henderson Pdf
Excerpt from The Norse Influence on Celtic Scotland Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Vindication of the Celtic Inscriptions on Gaulish and British Coins (Classic Reprint) by Beale Poste Pdf
Excerpt from A Vindication of the Celtic Inscriptions on Gaulish and British Coins Several literary enigmas of great moment have been solved within the last century. The key to the Egyptian hieroglyphics has been obtained The arrow-headed writing of the east has been read; and the inscriptions of Persepolis and the Assyrian marbles have been decyphered: and the Ph nician speeches inserted in the play called the P nulus, that is, the "Carthaginian" of the old Roman comedian Plautus, have been shown to be in close affinity with the Gaelic, or modern Irish language. Celtic inscriptions on ancient moneys, only seem to remain, as supplying much chance of further literary development, which, as far as they can be decyphered, have the appearance of being of high ethnological interest, in illustrating the habits and customs and the political ideas and biasses of the ancient Celts, both in this country and on the continent. The Welsh, Irish, and Bretons represent the Celts at the present day; but this same Celtic race once held possession of the whole of Great Britain and Ireland in the time of Julius Caesar, and the inscriptions of numerous specimens of their coins when correctly read, are found to apply to various chiefs and kings reigning in this our native land, mentioned by the old Roman historians, Dion Cassius, Tacitus, and Suetonius, and in one instance, as is supposed by Caesar himself. The Celts used Roman characters in their coinage, as it should be noted; rarely Greek. The political style and tone of the ancient Gaulish and British chiefs are given out plainly enough by our Celtic coin inscriptions.

Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times (Classic Reprint) by Edward Anwyl Pdf
Excerpt from Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times IT is only as prehistoric archaology has come to throw more and more light on the early civilisa tions of Celtic lands that it has become possible to interpret Celtic religion from a thoroughly modern viewpoint. The author cordially acknowledges his indebtedness to numerous writers on this sub jcet, but his researches into some portions of the field especially have suggested to him the possi bility of giving a new presentation to certain facts and groups of facts, which the existing evidence disclosed. It is to be hoped that a new interest in the religion of the Celts may thereby be aroused. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
