Excerpt: ...knew that he who bad sold his life would cut with sharp blades. He should have declared this openly, then he would have been slain with pointed weapons. Notwithstanding his friendly covenant, he was meditating a convenient attack. He had boasted of the carcasses of brave and powerful men, whom he would pierce in the presence of Gwynedd.f "I drank of the wine and the mead of the water-dweller, "and because I had drunk, I made a stroke with a small "piercing blade." J "It was not thy excess of drinking "which emboldened the fell chief: when every one made a "stroke, thou didst the same. But when the issue comes, "it would have been well for thee not to have offended: the "present rewarder of your deed has displayed a mighty "and dreadful arm."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mythology and Rites of the British Druids Ascertained by National Documents: And Compared With the General Traditions and Customs of Heathenism, as Illustrated by the Most Eminent Antiquaries of Our Age These documents are found, upon investigation, to develope a system of religion, which, for many ages, influenced the affairs of the human race, not only in these islands, but also in the adjacent regions of Europe: and are we not to inquire in what this religion consisted, and what hold it took of the mind of man? Or is it an useless task, to expose the origin of some absurd customs and prejudices, which are still cherished in certain corners of our land? But it will be said - The state of society amongst the ancient Britons was rude and unpolished; and their very religion opposed the progress of science and of letters. Be this admitted: yet the Britons, with all their barbarism and absurdities, constituted a link in the great chain of history. In addition to this, their affairs derive some importance from their rank amongst our own progenitors, their connection with our native country, and the remains of their monuments, which still appear in our fields. A prospect of the few advantages which they enjoyed, may furnish no unpleasant subject of comparison with our own times. A candid exposure of that mass of error under which they groaned, may inspire us with more lively gratitude for the knowledge of the true religion, and, perhaps, suggest a seasonable caution against the indulgence of vain speculation upon sacred subjects - a weakness to which the human mind is prone in every age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE first section of the ensuing Essay, effects the principal objects of a Preface; yet the Author has not the confidence to intrude upon his Reader, without premising a few pages, to bespeak his attention, and conciliate his esteem without offering some apology for the nature of his subject, and the manner in which it has been treated. To some persons, the utility of such a work may not be obvious. It may be asked What interest has the present age, in a mew of the errors and prejudices of the Pagan Britons? To obviate this, and similar inquiries, I would suggest the reflection, that the history of mankind is, in a great measure, the history of errors and prejudices that the superstition we have now to contemplate, however absurd in itself, affected the general tone of thinking in several districts of Britain 'that its influence continued to recent times, and has scarcely vanished at the present day. To an age of general inquiry, an investigation of the form and principles of this superstition, must surely be a subject of interest. In our times, a split of research, which few are so unjust as to impute to idle curiosity, embraces all the regions of the known world: and is our own country the only spot that must be deemed unworthy of our attention?
