Riassunto

Excerpt from Two Lectures on the Remains of Ancient Pagan Britain: Illustrated With Forty Lithographic Drawings of Druidical Circles, Barrows, Cromlechs, Sepulchral Urns, Celts, and Other Ancient Memorials

Tmms are, perhaps, no subjects over which the lapse of time has drawn so impenetrable a veil, as those erections of rude unsculptured stones, to which the appellation of druidical has been generally given; and which abound in almost every part of this island.
