THE FIRST LETTER, TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD VISCOUNT MOLESWORTH..OOME men, my Lord, from a natural greatness of!soul, and others from a sense of the want of learning in themselves, or the advantages of it in others, have snany times liberally contributed towards the advancement of letters. But when they, whose excellent natural parts are richly cultivated by sound literature, undertake the protection of the Muses, writers feel a double encouragement; both as they are happily enabled to perfect 'their studies, and as their Patrons are true judges of their performances. 'Tis from this consideration alone (abstracted, My Lord, from all that you have already done, or may hereafter deserve from your country, by an unshaken love-of liberty) that I presume to acquaint your Lordship with a design, .which I form'd several years ago at Oxford, and which I have ever since kept m view; collecting, as occasion presented, whatever might any way tend to the advantage or perfection of it. 'Tis to write the History of the Druids, containing an account of the ancient Celtic Religion and Literature; and concerning which I beg your patience for a little while. Th' this be subject, that will be naturally entertaining to the curi ous in every place; yet it does more particularly concern the inhabitants of antient Gaule, (now France, Flanders, the Alpine regions, and Lorabardy) and of all the British Islands, whose antiquities are here partly explain'd and illustrated, partly vindicated and restor'd. It will sound somewhat oddly, at first hearing, that a man born in the most northern (1) Peninsula (1) This peninsula is Inis-Eogain, vulgarly Enis-otcen, in whose Isthmus stands the Gity of Londonderry, itself a peninsula, and, if the tradition...

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 1409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AS Columbus, in August, 1498, ran into the mouth of the Orinoco, he little thought that before him lay, silent but irrefutable, the proof of the futility of his long-cherished hopes. His gratification at the completeness of his success, in that God had permitted the accomplishment of all his predictions, to the confusion of those who had opposed and derided him, never left him; even in the fever which overtook him on the last voyage his strong faith cried to him, “Why dost thou falter in thy trust in God? He gave thee India!” In this belief he died. The conviction that Hayti was Cipangu, that Cuba was Cathay, did not long outlive its author; the discovery of the Pacific soon made it clear that a new world and another sea lay between the landfall of Columbus and the goal of his endeavors. The truth, when revealed and accepted, was a surprise more profound to the learned than even the error it displaced. The possibility of a short passage westward to Cathay was important to merchants and adventurers, startling to courtiers and ecclesiastics, but to men of classical learning it was only a corroboration of the teaching of the ancients. That a barrier to such passage should be detected in the very spot where the outskirts of Asia had been imagined, was unexpected and unwelcome. The treasures of Mexico and Peru could not satisfy the demand for the products of the East; Cortes gave himself, in his later years, to the search for a strait which might yet make good the anticipations of the earlier discoverers. The new interpretation, if economically disappointing, had yet an interest of its own. Whence came the human population of the unveiled continent? How had its existence escaped the wisdom of Greece and Rome? Had it done so? Clearly, since the whole human race had been renewed through Noah, the red men of America must have descended from the patriarch; in some way, at some time, the New World had been discovered and populated from the Old. Had knowledge of this event lapsed from the minds of men before their memories were committed to writing, or did reminiscences exist in ancient literatures, overlooked, or misunderstood by modern ignorance? Scholars were not wanting, nor has their line since wholly failed, who freely devoted their ingenuity to the solution of these questions, but with a success so diverse in its results, that the inquiry is still pertinent, especially since the pursuit, even though on the main point it end in reservation of judgment, enables us to understand from what source and by what channels the inspiration came which held Columbus so steadily to his westward course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical History of the Celtic Religion, and Learning: Containing an Account of the Druids; Or the Priests and Judges John Toland was born on the 30th November, 1670, in the most northern Peninsula in Ireland, on the Isthmus whereof stands Londonderry. That Peninsula was originally called Inis-Eogan, or Inis-Eogain, but is now called Enis-Owen. Toland had the name of Janus Junius given him at the font, and was called by that name in the school roll every morning; but the other boys making a jest of it, the master ordered him to be called John, which name he kept ever after. Mr. Toland, as far as now can be collected, was the son of a Popish Priest; and, he hath been abused by Abbot Tilladet, Bishop Huetius and others, on the ground of his alleged illegitimacy: which, were it true, is a most base and ridiculous reproach; the child, in such a case, being entirely innocent of the guilt of his parents.
