 bert and Engelhard were difcovercd it would help us to that of 
 England and Angli. The meaning of thefe names feems to 
 be Engli Britain, or Englifh water parts or pofielnons, as is 
 England, Englifh land and Angli, Engli or rather its firft de- 
 nomination Ingli, a place inclofed or confined by water or an 
 ifland, diflerent from Angles or corner ifland or the Ifceni con-

 to the original meaning of the radical in the Welfli as well as 
 the Englilh dialcft of the Celtic, and what other people or 
 country can be underltood from this defcription mufl be diffi- 
 cult to find out ; for as to Angulus, there being then neither 
 people or country of that denomination, befidesthofe of Eng- 
 land it feems to be a Latin name of Bede's own coining agree- 
 able to his general plan of introducing a new fort of grammati- 
 cal language ditTerent from all the vulgar dialedls of Britain, 
 and perhaps of any other country, but was the text fet right it 
 feems probable that this well meaning leading hiftorian would

 fite to the French coall, by its firlt Celtic planters, after vlioir

 tion, as appears by fuch of them as are here defined. As a 
 
 fpecimen
 
 ^ . f 3' 1 
 
 fpecimen of our belnjr grofsly mifled from the truth by ouf 
 antiquaries and etynioloj^ifts, we preiume here to fubmit Mr. 
 Camden's explication of the name of our country to the confi- 
 dcration of the public. He labours hard to derive the name of 
 our illand from its painted inhabitants, and endeavours to flievr 
 that all countries were denominated by the names of its inha- 
 bitants; as Media, Periia, Saxonv, England, Scotland, Bel- 
 gium and ibme others, and that the liritons were accuftomed 
 to paint their bodies ; for fays he, almofl all the ancient Eri- 
 tiflt names partook fomcwhat of a colour, as Cogidunus, Ar- 
 gentacoxus and Scgonax of the red; Mandubratius, Cartif- 
 nvaziJua, Togodunnuis and Bonduca of the black; Venutius 
 :md Imanucntius of the white ; Vellocatus, Carvillus and 
 Suella of the wateriih colour; Cunirjlafas of the blue; Cunge- 
 torix and Arviragus of the golden colour; Prafutagus and Ca- 
 raclai-us from a lively or briik colour; and Adminius trom the 
 vermilion, beiidcs other currcr.t hritifh names, as, Gwin, 
 white; Coch, red; Luid, brown; and J)u, black. The an- 
 cient Britons, fays he, who were thus accuftomed to paint their 
 bodies, in order to diflinguilb thcnifeives from their ancfitors 
 the Ciauls, named tiieir country Jnlih-tan, the country of the 
 painted men, as other nations were aecultomed to do, accor- 
 tling to ttieir natures, inclinations, culloms and employments; 
 as, the lonians from Javan their founder, tlie Ifraelites from 
 lirael, the Chananites from Chanan the fon Ol Cham, the 
 Iberi as being miners according to the Hebrevt' derivation, 
 liie Heneti as being wanderers, the Nomades as being buued 
 about cattle, tlie (jcrmans as being warlike, the Franks as 
 tlicy were free, the Panonians from their pannas or long fleeve 
 cloth coats, th'; ylvLJiiopinns from their blacknefs, and the 
 Albans (vom llvAc w'lile hair. And that the Greeks, who 
 traded here tor tin, added tania to Ih'ith, as being cxpreihve of 
 a region, as in" Mauritania, l-ulifania, I urditania and Ha(H- 
 tntiia, the country of the rviruni, J>uii:s, Turdi and tialli, like 
 Dcinuark, a ccjnipound of the Dauilh and the Gcrn^.ai\ word 
 Tvlarch, a bound, iiy or limit. Our autb.or's conjcclurca ix-iug

 the original into their own diale61s, as was the cafe with Den- 
 mark, which at fird in the time of the Cimbri wert by the 
 name of Cimbrica Cherfonefus, the Chimbrian promon- 
 tory; afterwards Wetallahccd, a compound of Engiifli and 
 Welfh, fignifying water all along; llnce Jutland or Gutland, 
 the water confines or Goth pofleihons ; and now Dania or Ta- 
 nia, the inclofing or lower water part, of the fame fignificati- 
 on as Tan in Britain and not a region; and Brith is a ruifet 
 colour or an intire natural mixture of red and white with black, 
 different from the colour of glaftum, and neither of which could 
 be a very proper colou'- lor painting on fome of the ancient liri- 
 ti(h canvafs, but all that can be polhbly imagined in this ref- 
 pe£l feems to be, that the fandy Pids of Scotland, to whom 
 the cuftom of painting has been chiefly imputed by the general 
 run of hiftorians, ami wliom the Romans confulered as a dif- 
 ferent nation from the Britifi-i, miglit, in order to appear the 
 more amiable to fome of the fouthcrn inhabitants, ilain their 
 fkins or ikin garm.cnts with i:ljflum. It may be alfo infifteJ 
 from Polybius, Civlar, Diodorus, I'acitus and others, that a 
 confiderable part of Armorican Gaul went by the name of 
 Brittany in their days, without any mention made of their 
 painting their bodies; and that C;.tfar, the firft broachcr of 
 this (lory as well as invader of the country, who could have 
 but a very imperfecf notion of the cuftoms, manners or lan- 
 guages of the Britons, mud have been milled as well as Mr. 
 Camden, by miftaking the meaning of thofe fuppoltd names 
 of colours; or m.aliciouily forged the Ilory v.dth a view oi pal- 
 liating his unjufl; invanon of the country, like many other Ro- 
 man forgeries as to the culioms and manners of the chief 
 Celtic nation, very unlike their other cniloms ; as, that the 
 Britons, inftead of animsl compenfations, fic.ificcd in their 
 wicker bailcet, innocent men and not beidfs, or ticlinquents 
 againfl the Druid religion ; that they were accuftomed to pro- 
 mifcuous concubinage, as having in thofe days of fimplicity no 
 apartments in their houfes, anymore than many of the prefent 
 Britons, who are not thereiorc to be ciiarged wiih lb heinous a 
 crime; that they went naked, as they ufually flripped, like 
 the Gauls, when they engaged in battle or were employed at 
 their daily labour; or that th(.;v were cloathed only in the Ikins 
 of beads, though tlu-ir o'.vn J!i!l.orians iniorm us that the nioil 
 rlienified wore line lou;^ g;irmcr.r,-;, giidies, and golden rings, 
 b'^acelets and other crnann-nts; nv.d that they fed on hunran 
 fledt, when they abltained trcnv. that of animals, and as tliey 
 nrofeiled Druidifm, ly.uU have beeii p o'lilnted the ui'e oi ani- 
 Tiul food. But if we compare ih.oie accounts with the prin- 
 ciple*
 
 [ 33 ] 
 
 ciples and practice of the Djuids, in other refpe^s, as their 
 notions in jJiyijcs and rtietai. hy'lcs, the immortality and tranf- 
 migration of Ipirits, in a future; ftate of rewards and puniih- 
 ments, aflronomy, gcogra. hv, languages, and vaiious other 
 blanches of the arts and fciences, vvc can give but little credit 
 to thofe traducers of the llritilh antiquities and in\aders of the 
 country. Befides, as the Rom.an hiitorians confidered the 
 Britons and Pitts as diftinci: nations, and they charge only the 
 Pidls with the culloni of painting, it feems mote probable that 
 our ifland would have been named Piclland than Britain, or 
 Britland or the painted country, but fo far is it irom being true 
 that countries have been named from the complexion of the 
 inhabitants, or their cuftom of painting, or any other cufloms, 
 that thofe cuftoms and qualities all boiiow their names from 
 thofe of the countries, as appea:s by their definitions in this 
 woik. 
 
 It may not perhaps be improper here once for all to ob' 
 ferve, with refpe£l to the inveftigation of the origin of nations 
 from their names of perfons and places, that all names being 
 originally ajpehative, and ferving to defcribe rather than to 
 denominate a ocople, they as fuch can aft'ord no fort of aflifl- 
 ance therein, but as diltin^l geneiical names O' 'adicals, in- 
 vadably made ufe of by diifeient clans and nations, and em- 
 ployed as the models and ground wo k ot their reipeclive dia- 
 lers, they ferve to defc;ibe and diPLinguifli the. fevcal nations 
 and tribes of every colony and country. Hence, for inftance, 
 we are iurniihcd with fufhcient tiaces of the ') itan, Phrygian, 
 and Kritifh migrations aloni: the Mediterranean, bpanilh, Ar- 
 morican, and German lea coails. And of their being' thofe 
 "whom Bochart and fome others fuppofed to be Greeks and 
 Phoenicians; and for difcovermg that they nuide their migra- 
 tions through thofe feveral countries into i^ritain not long af- 
 ter the deluge; leaving colonies in their way for plantation and 
 cultivation on the fea banks, promontories, and tops of moun- 
 tains, in the days of Jupiter, Pluto, and Mercury, before the 
 vales, flats, and midland countries were drained by rivers, cuts, 
 and banks, -and liad recovered the ill effedls oi- the deluge and 
 were fit for cultivation ; fo as to e.iable any to inhabit the 
 vales, plains, viikges, and cities, or to fucceed in their fuc- 
 ceffive inland migrations; as appears by the ridges, trees, flats 
 and inclofures on the to^i-s of mountains, and trees, bogs, ihcUs 
 and filh bones in midland parts of the earth. In the fame 
 manner we may fee this firfh weftward migration fucceeded by 
 another of the Celtes, Iberi, Celtiberi, Silures, Guiihels, Ca- 
 ledonians, Gciions, Greeks, and Germans, the planters of 
 
 F groves.

 retaining the fame vicinity, (iurcctl forwards in ii:r(.rts cr 
 aJIeyis along the fide of rivers, v/hich thev had made, aTid, v/cre

 2S alluded to in Diodorus by the marriage of Hercules uiih the 
 daughter of A lefia, and bepcttinp- on her Galatcs, the founder 
 of the Gauls ; and from this union of landmen and feanien or 
 dwellers in vales, and fea coaftcrs they v»cre called Cumberi and 
 Gomer Gallus; as were the Ccltiberi, from an union of the 
 Celtcs and Iberi, before Hereu'es had ex elled the cattle ot 
 Gerion or the Greeks and Germans, the weftern water con- 
 fines, and Atlantics out of Spain into Germ.any, Britain, and 
 ihc Atlantic coafts, according to Diodorus aiul Plato's Timaeus. 
 Here, as well as in other countries, the Herculean colonies oi 
 Cumbri employed themfelves in cleanfing the Augaean liable, 
 or draining countries by drawing rivers through them, delfroy- 
 Ing wild beaiLs, civilizing mankind, and erecting cities, ac- 
 cording to what feems to be intimated to us by the Herculean 
 labours; as were the Teutons, another branch of thofe people 
 on the banks of the Ilhir.e ; and the Dare, Dacas or Getx, the 
 defcendants of f'yras and Rhi;hath on tlie fide of the Danube. 
 And that all thofe people were of the fame Celtic origin, fpoke 
 the Celtic language, and the firit poflcHbrs of thofe countries, 
 appears by the Celtic names of places imprelled on the very 
 countries, and the following hiiLOrial pafiagcs, viz. the Au- 
 fones in Italy, then called Aufonia, from Aulona in Pelopone- 
 fus in the days of Saturn, who were followed thither by the 
 Oenotrians from Arcadia, v/ho found there the Cimbrians or 
 Chumbrians, Sabines and other aborigines or maritime mi-

 they proceeded by the directions of the Caberi, and the form of

 out conlidcring that there could have been at mod but five na- 
 tions concerned in the plantation of Europe, namely Magog, 
 Mefech, and Tubal, which the fcript«re places as one nation 
 in RulTia and other northern countries, Maadai in Media, Ty- 
 ras in Thrace, Javan in Greece and Afia INIinor, and Gomcr 
 and his fons of courie in the other parts of Europe, and that 
 the foundation for any diftinction of nations betwixt thofe 
 people muft have chiefly arifen from tlie dilFefent nature of 
 countries, climates, employments, cufioms and manners of the 
 people, have difagreed as to the origin of thcfe, as well as moll 
 other European nations, by rcafon of their meeting with fome 
 of every fort of the Japhetan race almofl in every country of 
 Europe, though Gcmer and his ions were certainly the firit 
 planters of the fouthern and weflern parts. But it being very 
 immaterial from which of the fons of Japhet we derive our 
 oririn, or whether we made our firlt migrations from Alia 
 weilward with the fun, or through the northern countries, it, 
 upon the whole, we appear to be of the Japhetan or GeniiiC 
 race, dedincd by providence to the polTe.Tion of Europe, or the 
 ifles of the Gentiles, we need only obferve in general trom hif- 
 torians, that the Cumbri-Galli-Celtes appear to be origi)ialiy 
 but one nation, under the government of the Caheri or Druids, 
 which extended over a confulerable part of Italy, and all bpain, 
 Cxaul, Germanv, and Denmark, uirh the BririlTi and other 
 European iflands, and that from them, except as to Javan and 
 thtJ Turkifli ufurpation, thofe nations which have been fince 
 formed within their limits are derivable. It may not however 
 be improper here to obferve, as to tlie feveral routes from Aha 
 into thefe parts, that they fecm to h'dvc been prefixed accordin^^ 
 to the order in which Gouier and his Ions were at iirll ieated 
 alonii; the Euxin'e fea, by the diviiioii or dillribution of provi- 
 dence; as for inftance, logarmah, %\ho was placed next to 
 Magog in Afi.i, being the lalt that quitted that couiitry, and of 
 courfe, the lafl polTellor in everv cenntrv in Europe, muff con- 
 fcquently have been featcd next Ma.^^og in (iernimy, according 
 to the regular mode ot migration and dilUihution ot countries.

 feflions there-, and after a length of time he left tliem to Riph- 
 ath, and removed to thofe which had heen alloted him b\ his 
 father in Europe. Riphnth being by thofe removals in pofTcirion 
 of the frontier countries, made a gradual migration from thence 
 into the vacant pofiV (lions along the Adriatic and the Danube, 
 leaving his Afiatic ftaticn wholly to Togarmah, vho, after 
 fome comnnixture with the race of Javan, and luunding a part 
 of ihe Greek nations, at lad purfued his father's courfe of mi- 
 gration, and fettled colonies in Magna Grecia and other coun- 
 tries which his father had allotted to him in Europe. When 
 anv people became fo enlarged as to want room, they fwarmed 
 forwards in the lame regular order into the vacant pofiellions fet

 covered by that fea, as have been many others by the fens and 
 gulphs that were all formed by deluges, except the ocean -which 
 furrounded the contuients of Afia, Europe, and Africa. For the 
 prophet Ezekiel, where he fpeaks of the merchanis of Eden 
 trading to Tyre, probably meant thofe of the Mediterranean 
 fea ; and Moles, in faying that the garden of Eden was planted 
 caflward of Eden, and flocked with all forts and kinds of trees, 
 vegetables, and animals, muft mean a more extenuvc fpot 
 than has hitherto been affigned, for a garden that was to pro- 
 duce, fupport, and ferve for the increafe of fo many things, 
 and had the Euphrates, the elevated and divided Nile, and 
 two more large rivers for the watering or overflowing of it. 
 But it feems mofl: probable that Eden or the vale was the ground 
 now covered by the Mediterranean fea, and that the river 
 which went out of P'den to water or overflow the garden, that 
 was parted and had four heads or fources, were the Tanais, the 
 Nile, and the Euphrates, above and below the garden, which 
 eaflward of the garden was lb called, as beir.gtliC fpring part 
 fide, and after it paft the garden weflward towards the fea 
 Hiddekel, the vale length water to the fea; and the Pifon c;-

 or dividing Africa from Afia; and aniber, gum, aga, an(? 
 gold have been found in the northern pats, not far from the 
 Tanais. And if the deluge did not form thofe feas, and divert 
 the courfe of the 1 anais and Euphrates, though it is faid than 
 the Euphrates once went a different courfe, the Tanais rni^ht 
 mean the Euxineand other feas to the MeditrrraiK'nn, wlu^re 
 might be the borders of tiic garden, but it iccn\s uiore proh.abiC

 fome Spani(h, ScottiHi, Saxon, or Scythian colonies palled from 
 thence by fea into Ireland wijhout any great intercourfe with 
 the Britons of this ifland, it is ftill evident that thofe very colo- 
 nies mufl have been of the fame origin as the old feaBritonSj 
 Greeks, and Germans of Spain, Amorice, and Britain, though 
 not wholly of the Cymhri, GauUlh, or Engiilh race, the inha- 
 bitants of vales, inland countries and cities, who were the

 been formed on the model of the gciieiical or radical Sco or

 touching the Scottifli origin, aiid rei.ieclip.i the ieveral dct;o- 
 minations of the ];roi)!e, vveihall fnul this account cfth.em in a

 Bede meant by nations, fince the Irifh we;e of the firft coloniz- 
 ing race of Britons ; Pomponius, Aventinus, and others fay 
 that the Pifls were Germans; the Scots hiftorians widely dif- 
 fer as to their own origin, as favouring too much either the 
 Gaulifh or Englifh or the old Britifh origin, fmce they appear 
 to derive their origin from every fpecies of Britons. Humphry 
 Llwyd places the Picls or Meatse in Lothian. Camden and 
 Edward Lloyd fay that the Pi6ls were the fame as the Britons, 
 and fpoke the Britifh tongue. John Picardus and fome others 
 derive the Picls from the PIftones of Gaul, in whofe country 
 the woad grew. Giraldus Cambrenfis brings the Scots from 
 the province of Ulfler in Ireland, to the north of Scotland, in 
 the fourth century, under Mured or Murry, but thofe feem to 
 be Saxons. Tacitus defcribes the perfons and ruddy com- 
 plexions of the Calledonians to be fimilar to what Diodorus Si- 
 culus fays as to the make and complexion of the Gauls. And 
 Mr. Drummond of Hawthornden and others fay that the Saxons 
 were in pofleflion of Scotland as far as Edinburgh till nine hun- 
 dred and fixty, and that the Ottadini were called Scottadeni, 
 And as the Scottifh and Pi^lifli cufloms, manners, language, 
 names of perfons and places, and their make and complexions 
 agree with the Gaulifh and Britifh, thofe xvho bring the proper 
 Picls from France, the proper Scots from the fea coafts of Bri- 
 tain and Ireland, the Calledonians from the proper hilly Gauls, 
 and the Lowlanders from the Cumbri of this ifland, and the 
 reft from an intermixture of thofe, feem to deferve the moft 
 credit; more efpecially if we regard the extenfivenefs of Gaul, 
 and its numerous colonies, which palled the Rhine as well as 
 into Britain, that the firft migrations continued from the fouth 
 northward, fo long as the Gauls exceeded the Germans in 
 ftrength and valour, and the country remained under the go- 
 vernment of the Druids, and that the firft colonies which came 
 into Germany north about, muft have been through Norway, 
 or by fea, as It was otherwifc iluit up by the Hercynian foreft. 
 and if our ancient bards and writers may be credited, the Bri- 
 tlili iiles furnlfned Norway, Denmark, Germany on the Bal- 
 tick coafts, and the Sc.ini-iinaviaii cmpory with Britons and 
 Cumbri or Gauls, in tii'.: co'onizing age, and at the expulfion 
 of the Druids by the Romans, who, during their refidence in 
 this ifland, retained tlie fame viciniLy betwixt the Inhabitants of 
 the feveral parts of Britain and thoiC of the continent, as they had 
 had on the continent in tinic n.;li:; the firft migrations having 
 been by fea, and the next in progrcfiive ftreets from caft to weft 
 thro' Thrace, fl'yricum, Gaul, a;:d Britain. It may not be im- 
 proper
 
 r >63 ] 
 
 proper here once for all to obfervc, that as the Greeks and Ro- 
 mans prcfled the Celtic nations in italy,Gaiil, Spain, andUritain, 
 they wheeled northward and returned fouthward into the Ro- 
 man countries, and regained their former feats, as evidently 
 appears by their change of feats, according to the ancient hif- 
 torians and geographers. But what proves the Scots, as well 
 as the Englifh to be a Celtic nation, beyond the poflibility of a 
 contradicl;ion, is their ancient voices and names of perfons 
 and places being Celtic.

 will ; Womb, is the fpring part of woman ; world, man's fide 
 or furrounding circle or orb, and various others, that have 
 been already explained. Then the different fides or profpe6ts, 
 in which the mind views thofe primary names, greatly mul- 
 tiply their fignification, as do the various ways of compound- 
 ing them, and lb as to the other vowels. Befides, nature feems 
 to be but combinations of few analogical fyflems, made up of 
 units, dualities, and triads, with the quaternion of things or fides 
 variouilydifpofed. We have here clofely adhered to the primary, 
 liicroglyhpic, and argraphic, meaning of names, though the 
 more removed fenfc hath been occailonally added, but the 
 former definitions having been promifcuoufly derived from 
 the different fides, profpecls, and meaning, however they 
 may difcover the meaning of Avords, mull be fomewhat lels 
 perfpicuous than thofe of the prefent eflay.

 The confonants p, c, t, are radical and mutable, infleclory 
 or fpringii^g, and b, f, p, ph, v, and m are the fprings or 
 inilectories of p ; but ph, and v, are fo only as auxiliary to f. 
 The ch, g, j, k, ng, q, v/h, x, and fometimes fh are the in- 
 fleclories ot c ; but the j, k, q, wh, x, fli, are foonly ^is auxiliarie* 
 of g and ch. The th, d, dh, n are the inflectories of t ; 
 but b, d, g, m, though not radically initial mutables, are fo 
 in the fccond and third degrees. And II and rh are rather 
 afpirates of 1 and r than inflecting letters ; and thofe varia-

 any oth.er names fitter for the purpofe : we (liall here make 
 ule of the following Engllfh grammaiical names or parts of 
 fpeech* nameJy, the articles, nouns fub'tantive, adjetlive and 
 participle, pronouns, verbs fubflantive, acl:ive and pafFive, ad- 
 verbs, conjundlrions, prepofitions and interjedlions. 
 
 Of the ARTICLES. 
 
 The Englifh articles are <?, <??/, or any and //>, the former 
 of which fignify the earth, man, mafcuHne gender and fingu- 
 ]ar number, and the is expiefFive of the fide water, woman, 
 the feminine gender and plural number in the order of the crea- 
 tion ; and being as fuch of a fubflantive nature, they, when 
 prefixed to other names whether of fubftances or qualities by 
 their coalefcencc therewith fubftantive, or denote them to be 
 fubllantives and exprefs their genders and numbers ; as, a man, 
 an horfe ; the woman, men ; any man, men, woman, or thing ; 
 but not a men, an horfes, or the one, as woman implies a plu- 
 ral. Hence we difcovcr by their meaning, the flrft fort to be 
 of the mafeuline gender and fingular number, the fccond to be 
 the feminine gender and plural number, and the third to be of 
 the neuter, or neither gender. 
 
 Of NOUNS SUBSTANTIVE, ADJECTIVE, and 
 PxlllTlCIPLE. 
 
 Noilns fubflantive are the names of fubflances, or fuch 
 things as we conceive completely to fubfill either by themfelves 
 or in concord with the a.-icles, v.-ithc;:': the afhilance of any 
 o:her names ; as man, a play, an aft, any thin^-, the fpirit- 
 
 Nouns adjeclive and participle on the conlraryare tlv. names of 
 anions, qualities and attributes, adtled to fubftantives to exprefs 
 their qualities and accidents^ and without which, being in. their 
 nature indefinite, thev cannot fubllll ; but the participle is in 
 fome cafes dillinguilTiablc from theadieftive as having the par- 
 ticles" m^g- and ed added thereto^ to exprefs the prefent ar^A paft 
 time; a-J, a wife man, a wicked plav, a virtuous acl, the holy 
 Spirit, a loving or 'oved thing, or 1 :\\\\ loving or have loved. 
 
 Nouns fubftantive have tlie dillinclion of the mafeuline, fe- 
 minine, and neuter genders, and the fingular and plural num- 
 bers, by their own meaning, the coalefeence of their arti- 
 (iris and the addition or s or es to the Rnguiar or a variation 
 of the radir d vowels a and o into e to term the plural num- 
 ber ; -.is for inflance, a man-n^en or won'.cn, loot-feet, bull- 
 hulls, cow-cows, eity-eities, determine tlic fingular and plu- 
 ral numbers and mafeuline and feminine genders ; but people, 
 cat;!', caive^;, fiihi-^-, corn, "jrif-;, and cither general ranies 
 
 *C be-
 
 r 10 ] 
 
 being originally fo framed, exprcfs the plural numbers and fret?-' 
 ter or neither of the former genders ; and had not the femaTe 
 occalioned the diRindion of fex, fubllantives would have had 
 no diftinftion of genders ; Avhntever, therefore do not appear by 
 their meaning to be of the feminine or mafculine genders 
 ought ftill to be deemed of no diftinguifliable or neuter gen- 
 ders. Bat as to the diflinclions of common and proper names 
 or the dcelenfions of cafes, there are none either in nature ov 
 the Englifli language, except that propofitions in compofitioa 
 ■with verbs, or appofition to fubllantives or as has been already 
 fliewn in a former eflay, their pofition before, and after the 
 Verbs cxprefs the nominative and objeclive cafes. 
 
 Nouns adje^live agree Avith the fubftantive in gender and 
 number without any change or variation. But they exprefs 
 their different degrees of qualities, diftances, quantities, and 
 attributes, by the addition of the particle er to the pofitive to 
 form the comparative, and eji the fuperlative degree ; as, far- 
 farther-l^.rtheft ,■ great-greater-greateft ; high-higher, highefl j 
 much or many-more-mofl or rao-eft ; Iwift-fwilter-fwifteft ; 
 I'weet-fweeter-lweetefl: ; or where the adje6live has been com- 
 poimded beyond its primitive form, by prcfiy.ing thereto fome 
 of the adverbial names of comparifon, as many, more, or moll. 
 
 Of PRONOUNS. 
 
 Pronoun'' are general nouns, which in concord witli verb'- 
 perfonatc, and cxprefs perfons and things with their number," 
 genders and relations i ai-id thofe of the Englifli language are 
 as follows : 
 
 Perfonals. Poffcirives. Relatives.

 2. thou or you, thee, thv, tiiine ; this, each, every, ci ■

 any variation, and their genders as they perfonate man and wo- 
 man, and their poffeffions fubflantively are of the mafculinC 
 and feminine genders, and the relatives and adjectives being 
 general names and exprefTive of neither the one or the other, 
 but of both aliice, are of the neuter or no gender, andfuch of 
 the poflefTives and relatives as ftand by themfclves, and will 
 not like adjectives join and coalefce in concord ^vilh fubftantives, 
 are themfelves fubftantives, and the ret'l aie adjectives ; and who, 
 which, what, whofe, whom, are called interrogatives, though 
 other names feem to be equally applicable in that fenfe, and 
 the relatives cxprefs perfons, things, actions, or parts of dif- 
 courfes or fentences. But the fol!ov>'ing explication of thefe 
 names may perhaps illuftrate their ufes and properties in Ian- 
 guage better than any rules that can be laid down for the pur- 
 pofe.

 Of VERBS. 
 
 Verbs are of three forts, namely, fubflantlves, aclivcs, and 
 paiTives. 
 
 The fubftantives are bare affirmations of exlflences as, I am^ 
 l>^, or have been. 
 
 The adives affirm with an aQion, quality, or attribute of 
 a fubjecl ; as zvaiks, man is in aclion, / touch thee, thou feel- 
 ejl me, or a man is active and fenfible. 
 
 The paffives are the reciprocal aflertions of the latter by the 
 fubftantive verb and an adjective or participle prefent, pail: or 
 future ; as, I am or have touched or fhall touch thee, thou 
 doeft or flialt feel or haft felt me, I am feeling or I received tht; 
 touch. And the verb fubftantive is an auxiliary in the con- 
 jugation of other verbs. 
 
 Verbs as affirmations of exiftencies, afllons and paffions 
 with their tim.es, divifions or fucceffions in place coalefce in 
 concord and government with the perfons, numbers and gen- 
 ders of nouns and pronouns or fubje£ls in the following nrjan- 
 r.er, mode or form.

 Thefe auxiliary verbs are divers, invariablr, encrgic affir- 
 mations ot prefent, pad and future divifions or fuccefiions ot 
 motions or aclions in place called times, and the minuter divi- 
 fions thereof are more precifely diftinguifhcd by thole additio- 
 nal auxiliaries called adverbs. Thefc are not the modes as 
 fome have imagineJ but the parts that affirm the liibjeci: and 
 predicate in prepofitions, and modes are the m?.nucr of putting 
 the fcvcral parts together ; as, he is a wife man that adores 
 anfl explores his creator and is loving to and loved by his 
 friends and neighbours. And thus by joining the participle 
 and pafl active to the auxiliary verb is are formed thepaflive and 
 neuter verbs. 
 
 As verbs active lofe their qualities or atlion in the paffc 
 tenie, mod of the Englifh verbs exprefs the tenfe, by ^//, d 
 or t, as they denote a privative and a contraclion of the fenfe 
 and found from thofe of actions or qualities to fubilances, and 
 thefe that are thus regular in their conjugation are deemed 
 to be regular verbs. 
 
 But the following definitions of the auxiliary verbs feems 
 to give a more clear and certain illuflration ot the fame and 
 their rea! ufe in language.

 Of Irregular VERBS. 
 
 Such verbs as io\\x\ the paft tenfe by cd, d or t conformable 
 to the foregoing mode of conjugation being deemed regular 
 verbs, thofe which vary from that rule have been eftcemed as 
 irregular verbs, and rules have been laid down for their con- 
 jugation in fiich their fuppofed irregular itate. But inftead of lay- 
 ing down rules for the eftabliihment of error or iorcing our 
 hinguage from its natural fi:atc of prcciiion to the arbitrary 
 modes and forms of languages with v.'hich it has but a very 
 fmall connee\ion, i fhall endeavour to refeue her from fucli 
 violences, and in the inveftigalion of thei'e fort of verbs, fliall 
 fcdlow the diftinclions of cur belt Knglifn ^grammarians, from 
 whom we differ only to follow nature and tlic ienfe and mean- 
 ing of things inflead of found:;, wiiich muil have been too 
 liable to accidental variations to be the fjundutiun of an uni- 
 ■verfal langurige.

 following forts, befules this contraclion alfo chrini{e the vowel ; 
 fell, fold; tell, told; clothe, clad. As to the pailivc verb /^'^^-^ 
 it fecms to change regularly into ha-ed or had, as do mak': 
 into ma-ed or made and the reft of that iort. Se'l and tell 
 became foiled and tolled to correfpond with their fubftantivcs 
 toll, foil or coll, the tranfaclion of tolling, felling and calling 
 of cattle at fairs. Nor doth clo-the, clo-eth or cd in cla-ed, 
 or the more contracted clad become irregular. And as to 
 ftand, ftood and dare, durft, being directly from the Saxon 
 fbndan, ftod and dyrran, dorfte, unlefs the purer exprelFions 
 can be faid to derive their o igin from the more corrupt, it 
 feems more probable that the Saxon words come from the 
 Engiifti, which feem to be complete, wiih.out the particle an 
 either as iubftandves or verbs, as appears by the foregoing de- 
 finitions, which comprehend and explain all the filler dialects 
 of the weft and north, if not of all liuropc. And was it tru^ 
 that the Engliui derives its origin from thiC Saxon, it would 
 have had a nearer refcmblance to the German.

 its irregularity, feems to be inUrely to drop it, as having been 
 at firll corruptly int-.oduced into onr language by deligning 
 men, or fufl'er it to grow into difufe and become obfolcte ac- 
 cording to the natural bent and tendency of the language to 
 rt;iect all exotics that will not coalefce or agree therewith in 
 concord and to tiitown them for her oiliipring, though we muft 
 at t-lie fime time cuidefs that th.e Saxon dialects freed from

 Of PREPOSITIONS. 
 
 Prepofitions are fubftantive names which coalcfce with, and 
 are fet in appofition to fubftances and compontion with verbs as, 
 before a noufi, prepojition, to denote the cafes and relations as to 
 place, time, and order of things, and to conned; fubftantives in 
 fentences, and difcourfes ; as, from ket/ce, with feme reflection 
 it maybe inferred, that prepofitions are />;' themfelves fignificant 
 cf things ; and thofe of the Englilli language with their expli- 
 cations, are as follows : 
 
 /ff, man, or hispolfeflions Inclofed ; ivit/?, the fide fpring or 
 a woman ; within, in the fide fpring ; /o, the lide circle ; intCy 
 or unto, man in the fide circle , a/, the lide 5 towards, fpring- 
 ing to the circle or border fide; cf, the circle or off part; out, 
 the fpring circle fide ; out of the fpring circle off fide ; with- 
 cut, out of the fide fpring ; from, the furrounding parts or 
 borders ; after, off the fide upon ; behind, by its lide ; fince, 
 below the fide or action in •, according to, agreeing in the fame 
 borders ; between or betiuixt, the fpring part in the fide, or the 
 inclofing fpring water part ; among or amon^fi, the things in 
 or about the furrounding circle or borders ', for, the border part, 
 which determined both the right and boundary ; before, by the 
 border part ; above, the furrounding fpring part ; up, the 
 fpring part; on, in the circle of place and motion ; upon, the 
 fpring part therein ; under, the fpring in the earth of water, 
 or the roots of plants not fprung up to the earth's furface ; 
 hzhiv, the circle fpring water part ; beneath, by the water fide, 
 down, on the border part /)/, the part ; hefides ; by the fide ; 
 beyond, by the inclofing circle or border fide; through, the border 
 vatcr fide or from the fide ; over, from or out of the fide fpring 
 water ; over and above, out of the river and furrounding fpring 
 part ; except, the fide part lluit out of; until, during the pof- 
 feilion of the fpring of light : and the tvvo lail names alfo ferve 
 for conjunctions. 
 
 Of I N T E R J E C T I O N S. 
 
 Interjections are certain energ''\s or natural parts of fpeech 
 or notes of exclamation of thefc>erai qualities and quautiiies 
 or degrees of the human pa.ffiuns, alkctions and emotion'5 
 which are caft into or between the parts ot ditcourfes or fen- 
 tences to denote the fune, an J in mult languages they are luch 
 as follow : 
 
 Ah, ch, ih, o, ho, euge, wlvch aiRivcly ami paffively exprefs 
 thofe of pleafure, r( i' ii iiig, ;'L;!rlri!ig and exalting, according 
 to the feul'e of the fcveiai 'o- is. And their tranfponents, ha, 
 
 he
 
 [ 23 ] 
 
 he, hi, o, ho, hu, and heu, alack, alas, fie, \roe, are expreflivc 
 of pain, forrow, checking, calling, abhorring, and dejection 
 of the pafTions. And they equally correfpond with the other 
 parts of fpeech in the meaning of their letters •, as, woe, from 
 a fpring ; alas, high low ; alack, from high ; o, from ; uh, an 
 high fpring; ah, an high acSlion ; eh, its reciprocal return; 
 ih, flowing high ; oh, the high circle or fun, and the tranfpo- 
 nents are exprelllve of the contrary paflions or their being ihut 
 out from thofe or of their abfence. 
 
 Of SYNTAX. 
 
 The fyntax of a particular language is the manner of rightly 
 conitrutting words into fentences, either fmiple or compound, 
 according to the concord, government, and arrangement 
 fixed upon and eftabliihed in that particular language. But 
 that of a general and rational language is the form and mode 
 of rightly arranging and conllrudling them according to their 
 natural concord, government and meaning, or as they repre- 
 fent things and the order of nature. 
 
 The fyntax of the primitive language was Avithout doubt of 
 the latter fort ; in which names of themfelves, without the 
 afTillance of art, naturaliy alTumed their proper order and fitua- 
 tion in difcourfes and fentences ; and in which ftate they feem 
 to have continued until their primitive meaning became gra- 
 dually varied by the arbitrary rules of grammarians. But the 
 Englifli language having pretty well efcaped the ill efFccrts of 
 fuch unnatural refmements fccms Hill to retain fo much of its 
 primitive rational flate, as perhaps to ferve for an univerfal 
 language, without a:iy other rules or diftinctions of concord 
 or conilruclion, than what lias been here already indicated un- 
 der the fevcial heads. 
 
 And although xre have grammars, like thofe of the Greeks 
 and llomans, abinidantly ihilFed v/ith arbitrary rules and dif- 
 tinefions, the Lngiidi language has not yet been bent by any 
 arbitrary figns or rides of concord or conflruction to the gram- 
 matical (late, {o far as to ferve for the inlliucfion of youth, but 
 it is evidently the natural voice and converfation of the teacher, 
 and reading th;it iidlrucl according to the genuine and na- 
 tural princi; !cs, concord, and conitrudlion of the language ; 
 for we may difcciu in the works of our moft approved wri- 
 ters, a great variety of phrafes and fentences, which have been 
 condemned or negieclcd by the grammarians, and yet as they 
 coalefce in concord, have been adopted by our very bed: wri- 
 ters. And it might perha-s be difiicult to tell by wliofe gram- 
 mar it was, ih.'.L cur celebrated Shakefpeare learnt the Englilh 
 
 4 tongue
 
 r 24 ] 
 
 V tdngiic, and yet Sh.nkcfpearc's works contain many very c,r- 
 
 prelTive and primiiive names, concords^ and plirafes incompre- 
 
 ' herifible to ouf modern critics aiid grammarians. In fliort ag 
 
 ; the Englifh names ftill retain their primitive natural ftate, it is 
 
 \.tTie fenie or nonfenie, tlie trulh or iaifity and meaning of tlic 
 
 phr'ale or prOf;orition that diredh its order or manner of con- 
 
 ftruGion. 
 
 \[] It is however neceffary that the parts of any languaj^e asree 
 
 in concord with one another as to cafe, gender, number, and 
 
 perfon. 
 
 Now as to cafes, the Englifli language expreflcs tliem by 
 p'repdfitiovis fct in appofition to fubdantives and in eompoiitiou 
 with verbs, and the bare pofition of fubftantivts before and 
 after verbs, as to denote the nominative cafe or ti)c fubjufl of 
 a propofition, its pofition ought to be before the verb, and after 
 'it, 'to exprefs the objective cafes, except the verb neuter, as 
 has been already obferved. 
 
 As to th^ fexes or genders of fubftantive namesj they are 
 _diilihguiihable into the maiculinc and feminine genders, only 
 'as to animals and fuch other things as feem to have any analogy 
 therewith, and thofe that feem to partake of neither fex, are 
 named the neuter gender. And nouns adjective naturally cor- 
 refpond with the iubflantives, as to genders as well as num- 
 bers without any other variation than to exprefs the degrees of 
 compariion, as do the relatives, tuho, zvhich^ and that. 
 
 Nouns and pronouns naturally agree in concord ■'.\itb verbs 
 Avithout any variations, and to lay ilown rules and dilfinclions 
 without any real dilTerence, tends to puzzle ;ind confeiund ra- 
 ther than illuftrate languages. And as we have already under 
 the proper heads fully explained the connection and coidtiuciion 
 of the feveral parts of fpeech in fentences, had not urn- gram- 
 marians entered upoTi a mir.uter detail tbercoi than was pro- 
 bably neced'ary, we might perhaps liere fafely take our leave of 
 the fubjccl, and leave our very primitive language to How na- 
 turally in its :mtient courfe, but the prefcnt flate of the Eng- 
 Jifti grammar obliges us to add the following rensarks on the 
 rules of conftructmg an Engliflr fentence. 
 
 With refpecSl to cafes, it is obferved, that a fubllantive before 
 a verb, except it be of the infinitive mode, nudl be ir. the 
 nomin.ative cafe, as he ivrites ; and that fuch verbs mull ;dways 
 have the nominative cafe either exprefled or implied ; that iric 
 fubdantive after the verb pafiive or neuter, a>s, you atty may 
 hscomcy or be accounted a nian^ mull; be the nondnative j but 
 after a verb a6live or tranfitive, as, I delivered the key^ it mufh 
 be in ion.ie of the objedUve cafes ; that the prepoiition is oltcn 
 ■ ' iinderilood,
 
 C 25 ] 
 
 U-ntkrftood, [aS after give and before the nouns of time-tha^ 
 when a thing belongs to another, as, Alexander i horfe, or the 
 horfe of Alexander^ the pofleflbr muft be in the genitive cafe, 
 and to which fome other rioun muft always belong — that wliert 
 a fubllantive is added to explain another fubflantive, as, Alex- 
 ander the kingi they muft be both in the fatnc cafe by appofi- 
 tlon-that the verb to be, has always the nominative cafe after it ; 
 and that the nomintativc cafe following an auxiliary or other 
 verb fupplies the place of the conjundiionS if and though^ as 
 had he done, for if he had done fo. Now fome of thefe dif- 
 tinclions of cafes may perhaps be proper as they are here ex- 
 plained j but whatever foundation there may be for them in 
 the Greek or Latin, or any other language whofe fyntax, as 
 well as parts, are intire'y grounded on arbitrary principles, thti 
 more rational Enalifli, whofe only figns or diftinclion of cafes, 
 are exprefi prepofitions or thofe in compofition with verbs 
 and the bare pofition of the fubftantives in concord with 
 verbs, can receive but little advantage from fuch arbitrary 
 or nominal diftin£lions or modes of conftru(Sling an Englidi 
 fentence. 
 
 Then as to the genders and numbers of nouns fubft.intlve, 
 it is remarked, that a noun of multitude may have a verb or 
 pronoun agreeing with it either irrthe lingular or plural number 
 according to the import of the word as expreffing unity or plu-* 
 rality, as, my people is or are foolifh, and the aifembly of the 
 wickedhave inclofedme-thatnouns in thefingularnumber joined 
 together by conjunctions copulative have verbs, nouns and pro- 
 nouns agreeing with them moftly in the plural number, as So- 
 crates and Plato ivcre wife, but if the fmgulars fo joined to- 
 gether are of fevcral perfons, in making the plural pronoun 
 agree with them in perfon, the fecond perfon takes place of 
 the third, and the firft of both, as he zxmI yoti and / won it at 
 the hazard of cur lives j you and he fliared it between you ; 
 and when the fubjedl is a thing without pcrfunality it is ex- 
 preffed by the neuter pronoun zV, as it happened or defcending. 
 So that thefe rules tend to fhew that the Englifii genders and 
 numbers arc diftinguifliable only by the meaning of things, 
 without any variation ot terminations or other f gns than what 
 have been already intimated. 
 
 Adjeclives and participles -— aft adjeflive after the verb 
 paffive or neuter is faid to be in the nominative calc — ad- 
 jectives or participles are added to or put before fubftan ives 
 to exprcfs their qualities, and in that cafe participles have the 
 nature of adjedtives — adjectives have fometimes the infinitive 
 
 * E mood
 
 [ z6 2 r 
 
 mode after them, as, worthy to die — adjeftives have no van*-' 
 tion of genders or numbers, and fome of them are derived 
 from verbs. The diftributive pronominal adjectives, eachy every^ 
 ehhery agree with the nouns, pronouns and verbs of the fm- 
 gular number only, unlefs the plural nouns happen to be coi* 
 le£tives-every adjective has relation to fome fubltantive either 
 exprefled or implied. Adjeftives fometimes become fubftantive* 
 and fubftantives adje£lives, as do verbs become either and either 
 verbs, fo as to go along with the ideas of the various forts of 
 fnbftances, qualities, and adtions. But it is farther obferved as 
 to participles, that with prepofitions before them they anfwer 
 the Latin gerunds, as, by doing •■, or, with the articles before 
 and prepofitions after them, they become fubftantives, as, by 
 the ohfervmg of which we fliould erroneoufly fuppofe perfons 
 and participles to be gerunds and the concurrence of a prepo- 
 fition to be necefiary to the article's fubftantiving power. 
 
 Verbs ; a verb following another verb mull be in the infi- 
 nitive mode, as, / hope to live \ to^ before a verb is the fign of 
 the infinitive mode. The verb in the infinitive mode often 
 itands abfolute or independent of the refl of the fentence, aa 
 to conclude-two negatives make an alfirmaiive. 
 
 Adverbs ; adverbs are added to verbs and adjeclives, to ex- 
 prefs qualities and other circumftances, or the fame may be 
 done by a fubftantive and prepofition \ as, I am very lonefome 
 or by myfelf ; or, by comparing the fame quality in different 
 fubje<fl:s, as, white as fnow, wifcr than I ; adverbs have no- 
 government, but ought to ftand at the fide of verbs and ad- 
 jectives according to the import of their names. 
 
 Conjundbons and relatives ; two forts of words conneft 
 fentenccs, namely, conjunctions and relatives ; it is faid that 
 conjundlions have the government of modes, but it feems more 
 probable that they are adverbs of time ; conjunctions have their 
 correfpondent conjunclions, as although-yet ; whcthor-')r ; fo- 
 as ; fo-that i neitheror; the relatives ivho^ vihich^ il.at^ w.vAt 
 have their antecedents either expreffed or implied, jnd haviiig 
 no variation of genders or numbers mull agree tlierein with' 
 their antecedents ; ii-ho referring to perfons, il;at to thing^ur 
 perfons, and which, to aclions ^s well as pcrl'ons and tlungSy 
 and the relative is of the fame perfon with the antecedent, and 
 the verb agrees with it accordingly ; and when this, that, tliefe, 
 thofe, refer to a preceding fentence, this and toefg relate to the 
 later member or term, and that and ths/e to the former. 
 
 Interjeclions ; interjections have no government tlu)ugh ufu- 
 ally attended with nouns in the nominative cafe and verbs h\ x]ic
 
 r 27 1 
 
 indicative mode ; yet the cafe and mode are not influenced by 
 them, but determined by the nature of the fentence ; or per- 
 haps thofe forts of names may be more accurately defined to be 
 adverbial names of the various degrees and circumftances of 
 the paffions with which the fentence is conceived <m- expreffed or 
 little abfokite or independent fentences of the pafGons. 
 
 The grammatical points ; as a period ought to be a compleat 
 reprefentation of the water part circle or diflrift, it ftiould 
 confift of four fides or members, but w^hether thofe members or 
 inclofing fides fhould be, , ; , . or , ; : , may for me be kft 
 to the printer's optica.

 ON THE 
 
 CIRCLES OF GOMER. 
 
 THE writer of the prefent eflay once intended to engage 
 in a more pcrfedt delineation of the Circles of Gomer, 
 to fix all the Celtic dialecls, and thence invcftigate the reli- 
 gion, learning, laws, gov<?rnments, tenures, cuftoms, and 
 manners of the Celtic or European nations. But finding that 
 the fpecious ftruclures of the antients, which miflead us in 
 our modern fuperflruclures, would require a more elaborate 
 difcuffion than the reception of his pall labours and prefent 
 ftate of health will admit, the prefent remarks are defigned 
 more for engaging others in the purfuit of thofe important fub- 
 je6ts, than a full and perfc6l illuitration of them. 
 
 The principles on which the foregoing definitions are found- 
 ed pre fuppofmg the divine origin of human fpeech, it may 
 not perhaps be improper here in the firft place to obferve, that 
 molt of the antient philofophers, particularly the mctempfy- 
 chofifts, were of that opinion ; as Mofes muft have been by re- 
 cording that God himfelf formed man with a living, fpeaking, 
 or communicating foul, after his own likenefs, that he named 
 the celeflial and terreftrial created parts previous to the for- 
 mation of Adam, and fuperin tended Adam in giving names 
 to beafts and birds. And as it appears by the foregoing de- 
 finitions, that thofe names are analogically transferrable to all 
 the other fyftems of generation, vegetation, and forms of things, 
 according to the natural but inexplicable powers of letters and 
 
 names
 
 I 3° ] 
 
 nnmeii in their aflbciation, corrcfpondencc anci coincidence 
 with ideas in their various and mod extenfivc (hapes, forms* 
 and changes ; lauguagefi, however in thj compound they may 
 partake of man's art, muii in the abltradl be the gift of provi- 
 dence to Adam, and perhaps republiihed to Mofcs on momit 
 Sinai, or come to him by tradition ; fince letters are de- 
 fcriptive of his hiitory of the creation, and fall of man, and 
 many other branches of original knowledge and philofo- 
 phy, with which the Jews were at firfl but little acquainted ; 
 and it is admitted, that philofophy took its rife amongft the 
 Birbarians, Gentiles, or Gauls, probably from the Druids ufe 
 of the inflecting form of confonants, by which they framed 
 their fongs. 
 
 A language that ' is thus founded on revelation, and tend- 
 ing to the difcovery of original knowledge, mufl, when pro- 
 perly and accurately defined, alfo tend to a precifion and re- 
 ujiion of languages, ideas, and opinions, and be the criterion 
 of truth, and decifive in all cafes, fince the archetypes of lan- 
 guage and original knowledge are the fame, and a right defi- 
 nition of the one muft explain the other. Whether thefe 
 fteets contain fuch a difcovery is fubmitted to the candid exa- 
 roination and confideration of the learned, it feems however 
 probable, that no other language can make fo near an approach 
 to the firll univerfal language, and to natural precifion and cor«- 
 refpondence with ideas and things, as the Englilh in the form 
 and mode it has been here introduced as an univerfal language ; 
 for in fhort the author has difcovcred the firft language, and 
 was it not for the fatigue, labour, expence, and fome other 
 reafons of a more important nature, could as he imagines re- 
 llore it, and the foregoing definitions ^and grammar have been 
 from thence formed. 
 
 If any other languages fliould, like this correfpond with the 
 primary names of the elements, their divifions in place, and 
 the hiercglyfic and argrafic prototypes, as the fea and river, 
 the vulva and penis, and the mouth and tongue, or voice, 
 fhould have naturally grown with ideas and things by virtue of 
 the infleclory confonants, fhould be analogically transfcrrablc 
 to every fyftem of creation, and (liould excite and cxprefs the 
 very pafiTions, they may be brought forth in their befl form of 
 univerfal grammar. And if on examination they fhould ap- 
 pear to be as perfect copies of nature as the Engliili language ; 
 then, as all fuch languages mull nearly correfpond, they may 
 be confolidated into one univerfal language. But if no fuch 
 can be produced, furely the bell form of the once univerially 
 fpoken . language, ought to be generally received as fuch, as 
 
 having 

 
 [ 3'. ] 
 
 having a tendency to this rcftoration of ancient knowledge afiif 
 the reunion, intercourfe, tranquility and happinefsof mankind, 
 and more perfectly ferving the ends of providence in theafFairs and 
 government of the world. But thofe that would be con^ipeti-r' 
 tors to the Englifli for originality or univcrfality, fhould firft 
 well confider the imperfed-l:ions of moft dialc6ls of the firft 
 language, and Avhether theirs, like the Engliih, can bear the 
 open light without being fubje£ls of ridicule. 
 
 The pretcnfions of the Englifh language to univcrfality, may'. 
 be ftili turther urged from its being in the abftiatl the mother 
 of all the weftern dialecls and the Greek, elder f/ftcr of the 
 orientals, and in its concrete form, the living language of thi: 
 Atlantics and aborigines of Italy, Gaul and Britain, which fiir- . 
 nrftied the Romans with fuch of their vocables as are not. of 
 a Greek origin and their grammatical names ; and from its im- 
 preflfion of the primary names of places on mod parts of the 
 globe. And though fome of the Hnglifli vocables may have 
 been loft and recovered by means of the Latin tongue, even' 
 thofe, on a due examination, will appear to be radical luiglifli 
 names borrowed by the Romans from the language fpoken by' 
 the anceftors of the Englifli in Italy, Gaul, and Britain, An(f 
 notwithftanding the various attempts which have been made by 
 different writers of abolifliing it, and introducing other dia- 
 le£ls in its Itead, as the natioiral language of thofe countries in 
 order to favour their ufurpations of theCeltic pofll-lFions, ail that. 
 could be effefted was to fplit it into various arbitrary dialects,' 
 wilfully and corruptly deviating from the Englifh, to ferve as 
 the livinii languages of fome of thofe countries. 
 
 Having in my former cfl'ays on the origin of knowledge and 
 language, already fhewn how the Celtic diale£ls and know- 
 ledge derived their origin from the circles of Trifmegiltus^ 
 Hermes, Mercury or Gomer, we flvall here only add a fmgle 
 remark to fliew how the Englifli language happens more pecu- 
 liarly to retain its derivation from that purelt fountain of lan- 
 guages. In other laiiouajcs then the nominal or literary cha- 
 rafters as well as ihcir founds, like thofe of arithmetic, al- 
 gebra, geometry, aftroT'oniy and mufic, fecm to be arbitrarily 
 applied, but in the EngIKh they fignify and -ah: applied as real 
 GJiariitters, reprefentations, and exprcfHons of nature by theif 
 fymbolical figures and forms, anil rrithmecical piopoition erf 
 founds or dlvifions and multiplications oflines or miiGcal chordci 
 agreeable to the Circles of Gomer ; for Gomcr fupnofed tl:c 
 world to be a large circle compofed of many homcgCTieous leller 
 circles, fyflems, or combination cf element.;, fides, (urhccSp 
 figures, torms -.md parts. And fucii as will iid;!)e'atC'y exa-

 . [ 33 ] 
 
 language, will find it to be an exaft copy or defcrlption of tlio 
 circles or fyftems of G6mer. Hence alfo its greater pretcnli- 
 ons to univerfality. 
 
 The Englifli language alfo in virtue of the fpringing or inflec- 
 ting powers, of its radical and mutable confonants, which niuft 
 have aflifted the memory of the Druids in thofe various and 
 copious fubjecls which they taught, making a natural progrcf- 
 {ion from its primitive ftate of nature to its prefent more com- 
 plex orjcopious form, mode, and conftrudion, and preferving 
 the fame principles, and the like natural conneclion betwixt 
 its fcveral grammatical parts, as originally fubfifted betwixt 
 particles and letters in the compofition of names, from the 
 letter to the moft compound fentence, fo as to form an exact 
 copy of nature, prevented its coalefcence with or admifTion of 
 any foreign, exotic, or unnatural p'ants, and its being forced 
 to the Latin or any other arbitrary language byanyufelefsrules of 
 cafes, genders, declenfions of nouns, common and proper 
 names, tenfes, modes, and conjugations of verbs, the govern- 
 ment of nouns and verbs and many other dillinclions, with 
 which it has little or nothing to do. Thus this antient lan- 
 guage perpetuated itfelf, and preferved its originality and uni- 
 verfality, and retains a peculiar property of explaining, not 
 only other languages and names of perfons and places, but 
 alfo the various branches of original and natural knowledge, 
 fo as to make its way into the prefent ftate of the arts and fcl- 
 ences, and other matters of antiquity. 
 
 To produce every fpecimcn of its powers in the inveftiiiation of 
 things, which may be given from the foregoing dcfuiitions, and to 
 conned, and apply thofe definitions to the origin of languages, na- 
 tions, and things, would require at leaft 20 larger volumes than 
 the prefent, wc ftiall therefore only inilance a few. If then we 
 obfcrve the fcope and tendency of this infpircd language, we 
 fhall clearly fee that it was 10 be man's guide in the condud 
 and management of himfelf and the world, and that his chief 
 concerns and duties here, were to be the propagation and pre- 
 fervatlon of his fpccics, the cultivation and government of the 
 world, and the exploration and adoration of the creator ac- 
 cording to that one eternal and univerfal law or religion, wiiich 
 at funJry times has been promulged to man ; but that man 
 by his fall from his original ftate, became of himfelf incapable 
 of thofe purfuits. To fupply the clcfecls and decays of hu- 
 man nature, letters and names, were to be to him and his pof- 
 terity as figns or fymbols for their conduct and better govern- 
 ment of the world. Thefe feein to direct them to live in pairs

 communities by meres, fences, and boundaries, which wereto be 
 the title and defence of feparate pofTefTions, and their neceflat.yi 
 fubdivifions and fubordinations, for the well being of communi-. 
 ties, and to feleftand fet apart a portion of time, place, and men, 
 for the exploration and adoration of the caufe of all things. 
 
 Hence the origin of the connubial and governmental ties, 
 and the divifions and fubdivifions of the earth into cantons, 
 commots, pagufles, and leffer portions, amongfl tribes and 
 clans, under the government of patriarchs, druids, bifliops, 
 earls, and other heads, and their fubftitutes. And to the 
 grafting or coalefcence of many of thofe tribes under one head, 
 and fubftituting the connection, ties, and piivity of eftate, 
 Inftead of thofe of blood, which fubfiftcd amongfl: tribes under 
 tlie patriarchal mode, every well conftituted monarchy owes 
 its origin ; all elfe being founded upon violence, fraud, ufur- 
 pation, tyranny, and oppofition to the defignation of Providence, 
 
 Hence alfo the origin of the feodal tenure and government> 
 the freeholder, artizan, and freeman's, as well as the prelate 
 and barons, fhare in the legiflature, on the fubdivifions of pof- 
 feflions and other properties acquired, the periodical parlia- 
 mentary meetings without fummons to form capitularies, the 
 origin of bifliops, earls, headbuirows, and tything-men,, or 
 the judges and juries, fworn to declare the truth, and the frank 
 pledge, or iiberty of paflint; and repafiing the boundaries, 
 which prevented die difagrecable neceifity of perfonal arrefts^ 
 and long imprifonments for debt, for v\ ant of fpeedy trials. 
 And though thcfe priviledges, as well as the ancient feodal 
 government, have been altered or aboliftied in France by 
 Charlemagne, who, having; feized the ancient fiefs into his 
 own hands, varied them to a fpecies of benefices, which the 
 Normans introduced into England, they have been with ge- 
 neral confent of prince iind people happily preferved, regulat- 
 ed and confirmed in Britain by cur wifcr Alfred and his fuc- 
 cefPors, by the moll facred ties, according to the concomi- 
 tancy of power and polFeffion, and the anciently approved 
 Knglifh niaxim, that what concerned all ought to be treated 
 by all, ho'.^evcr the fervices annexed may have been here va- 
 ried. And the like tranfitions from the original patriarchal 
 mode of government to the feodal, or monarchical, have been 
 made by the Jews in the days of Saul, according to i »Sam. 
 chap. viii. and afterwards in Greece, Italy, and ancient Cel- 
 tica. Nor did the Romans abolilh the clan mode in Britain, 
 but permitted the Britons to enjoy their ancient government, 
 under the comites, earls, or knights of the landmen, and al- 
 dermen of the Teamen, infleadof the druids, whom they expel- 
 led. Ai:d as it appears by the foregoing eiray,that our tenures and 
 
 * F government

 got^ernmfcnt are founded uport, and coexiflent with ttie original 
 divifion of countries, according to the fcheme of Providence in 
 the government of the world, to deviate from this plan muft be 
 dire£l treafon againft the Author and Governor of all things. 
 
 Though the clan or ntriarchal mode of government gene- 
 rally prevailed in Britain till the Saxon hcptarchyj it feems 
 probable that there was feme deviation from it towards an 
 ariftocracy, before the arrive;] of th. Unmans ih the country j 
 for the pov/erful clans of the Coritrni, the fpreading borders^ 
 according to the Pf man policy, of encouraging foreigners to 
 become Roman citizens, in order *:o extend their empire, had 
 extended their borders far beyond their original limits, into 
 the countries of the Cornavii and Brigantes, and at lafl found- 
 ed the united flates or cantons of the itvtn Burgenfes or Loe- 
 gria, whofe metroiDoHs was Leiccfter, and afterwards the king- 
 dom of Mercia, and finally that of Great Britain ; and thence 
 the flory of GeofFery of Monmouth, of Locrin, Alhanaft, 
 and Camber, the fens of Brutus, after their father's death, di- 
 viding the kingdom of Britain in three parts, called Loegria^ 
 Albania, and Cambria It was from this union of the Britiili 
 clans and their dialects that the tngiilh language and nation 
 chiefly derive their origin, as appears by innumerable proofs 
 in the foregoing eflay, and the following fpecimen of primary 
 radicals, varioufly fpringing from the mutable confonants, 
 and made ufe of in different parts of Britam as appellative 
 names of places, according to their feveral qualities and fituar 
 tion,and the bafis of different dialects, v/hich aflbciated in the 
 country and language of the Coritani, fo as to form the pre- 
 itm EngiiHi dialect and local appellatives, and prove the pre- 
 fent Englifh to be the genuine progeny of the original planters 
 and land cultivators of this ifland. Nor are iuch radical names 
 to be met with in any other country, neither do they ditfer 
 from the Celtic meaning uf things, or from one anotlier, by 
 any arbitrary, irregular, or foreign mixture or otiierwife, but 
 as fome are more compounded or tranfpofed than others, and 
 thus the reft of our names ^t:.i.:r(\ to corrtipond. But, though 
 the people and hnguage of Britain thus clearly appear to be of 
 ♦he fame Celtic origin, yet it is as evident that fome of every 
 Celtic rpecies are in ponre/Tion of every country in ancient Celti- 
 ca, whofe names of pc' Tons and places, invariably made ufe of, 
 and as appellatives, alluding to the radical or generical names, 
 c!ea-]y diflinguifh them. And the following fpecimen alfp 
 confirms the foregoing definitions of letters, as for inflance, 
 le arid pc, the water place, and water part of man and earth,

 Having thus fixed the etymological fclence, and given 
 proper hints towards fettling the origin of nations and original 
 knowledge on a firm bafis, we fliall here add a few more 
 curfory obfervations on the whole of the foregoing work. Andj 
 in the firft place, ue fubniit it to the confideration of the 
 learned, whether f:i;ce the etymological fcie?ice and primitive 
 meaning of languages and names or places and things, which 
 are equally appellative, have been explained with certainty 
 »nd prei-ifion, they will not clearly explain and diilinguifli 
 the origin of all languages, nations, people and things, accord- 
 ing to that analo:-;y which ap^^'ears to fubfill betwixt all fylLcms, 
 and point out in particular the firlt planters of Europe, at 
 leall on this fide the Vilbula, Taurica Cherfoncfes, Hellefpont 
 and Gades, to be the Celtes or Gomerites, from whofe language 
 all the names of places, countries, perfons, nations and dialc9:s 
 feem to be derived : and thou^ii^h fome have imagined the 
 Sclavonic and Teutonic to be European originals, if it may not 
 be more probable that they fprung from a mixture of the Celtic 
 and the ogum or fluctuating dialects of feamen, who liad no 
 concern in the cultivation of countries or original impo- 
 fition of the names of places, fince all the ladical names 
 of places, perfons and dialects now appear to be of one 
 and the fame Celtic original. If then the Englifh fliould 
 appear to be the beft Celtic dialedl and the original Ian • 
 guage of the Europeans, why fiiould it not be refiored as 
 the general language of thofe countries? 
 
 It is alfo conceived that the originality of nations flandi: in the 
 fame order as the Roman alphabet, which was probabIvfi:^ed with 
 that view at the extent of the lloman empire, and that their ori- 
 gin, confiftent with their radical and derivative names, which are 
 derived from the refpeclive countries, muft, like the names of 
 countries and things, all correfpond with the form of infledling 
 the radical and derivative confonants in the foregoing grammar, 
 whereby m and ph or f appear to be derivatives of rhe radicals 
 p and b, g, n and ch of c, and d, n and th oft ; as for itiflance 
 the Phrygians, Phryfians, Franks, JMauriiani:;ns, Alerini and 
 Marcomans muft have fprung from th.c Beri, Bcriges, Cum-beri 
 and Britons ; the Galli or Gauis, and Gomeri from the Calle, 
 Kelle or Celtie and Cwmbri, and the Thracians from Tyras 
 the younger fon, offspring or nation of Japhct, and fo aj to 
 thofe nations who have the auxiillary confonants for their radi- 
 cals according to the explanation thereof in the laid grammar. 
 
 Hence, conliitent with venerable Bede, we n.ay fafely con- 
 clude that the proper Britons, v.lio were the frit poifcflbrs of 
 that part of the iHind called Briiaiu or the fouthern part., and 
 
 *G ths
 
 [ 42 ] 
 
 tKeBrigantcsot'the tiorthern p^rts migrated here from die Merini 
 of Armoiican Gau!, who came from the iberi of Spain, tlie 
 defcendants of the Ikriges and by Avhom a confiderable part 
 of Ireland was planted, and from whom the Scots and Saxons 
 are modly defccnded, but thev were moftly feafaring people. 
 That thofe were fucceeded or rather aecompanied by the land- 
 men of Gallia Comata called Calle, Kclle or Celt;e, who pof- 
 feffed the river fides, vales and midland countries, leaving the 
 fea coafh to the Britons, Scots and Saxons, and from whom 
 came the Caledonians and Pich. And that thofe were fuc- 
 ceeded by the Cuinbc i or Cumberi-Gauls of Galiia Bracata 
 and Togaiia or the upper countries or borders, who had been 
 incorporated by the fufl Hercules with thofe of the Comata, 
 and from whom the Gauls, VVclili or Cumbri of the Iter 
 Cymbrorum, Wales, ami the countries betwixt the Humber 
 and Twcede, and on the weilern fide to Dunbarton, and 
 other confiderable parts of England, Scotland and Ireland, feenr 
 to be defccnded. And from a mixture of all thefe the prefent 
 inhabitants of Britain and Ireland derive their origin. But 
 there were the like migrations of thofe people over the Rhine 
 into Germany and Denmark, fo that thofe countries feem to 
 be copies of ancient Gallia, as Gaul was of Thrace, Dalmatia, 
 Italy and Spain, and thofe of the lelTer Afia or Natolia and 
 Greece ; the firil being more particidariy the Titans, Frifians 
 and Britons ; the fecond, the Celtiberi and Caiabrians, and the 
 third, the prefent Englifli, as well as mod branches of the Danes, 
 Swedes, Germans and French ; but then it is to be under- 
 floood that the latter comprehend all the former emigrants. 
 
 The Cumbri, of the Comata, and other Gauls, probably by 
 the Druids, governed Europe, and divided the countries by 
 rivers and motes into conimots and cantons, according to tlie 
 form and difpofition of Eden and the capital Roman letters, 
 and always regularly dwelt in cities; leaving the open fpaces 
 betwixt the borders of the refpcci-liive cantons and the fea coafts, 
 as forells and heaths for the ufe of the nomades or (hepherds, 
 feanien and merchants. And their migrations were made 
 and vicinity prefcrved regularly from Eall to Wefl in ftrect? 
 from Afia to the remotefl parts of Ireland, as appears from 
 many circumlhinces and proois in the ioregoing and former 
 
 Eifays. 
 
 The incorporation of Hercules, which produced the Gauls 
 or Cumberi, and of the Romans, v/ho vaifed levies in the fouth 
 to guard the northern parts, i.nd fent others from thence to 
 guard the fouth ; and other iubfequent intermixtures have 
 caufed an agreeable and pleafmg vurie^v, which jElill appea'-s

 in the very fliapes, countenance?, complexions and diipontions 
 of the prefent Englini : But fome ot" the Scots and Iridi clans 
 having for many ages avoided any intereourfe or commerce 
 with Itrangcrs, or even with each other, have contracted 
 fomewhat of a famcncfs peculiar to themlelves, though a high-' 
 land laddy with a lowland lafly liave produced many a homiy 
 Englifh beam. And as the diiivutes ])ct\vixt the Scots, Pitls, 
 Saxons and Britons, on the retreat ot tiie Romans from Britain, 
 feem to have heen no other than a civil war betwixt the fame 
 people and the Scots and Hnglif]!, appear to be of the fame 
 origin, and a greater intereourfe and coinmcrce betwixt the 
 individuals of each country, might tend to a difiipation of the 
 fpirit of p-.'.rties and prejudice anct the natioiinl union, it feems 
 more ad\ iicablc co promote fiicii an intcrcourfj by every proper 
 method than dilhefs each oilier. AiKl -A'cre leafes of the waitcs 
 and uncultivated groun^ls in Enghuul and Scotland granted to 
 fuch of the Engliih and Scots a'; would iritermarry, and fub- 
 mit to refide in cither country, and frequent church and kirk 
 indifcriminatcly, all Uiarks of diftiriClion, as to arbitray rites 
 and cuflonis removed or con.iormed, and all opprobrious 
 party names droppctl, or lomcwhat more exprelfive made 
 ul'e oi\ as, Doiio, Cons, and Ferrets, it might perhaps in 
 fome nieafure be produclive ci that cnA, and habituate the 
 Scots to tlie ancient cuiloms and coinnjon law of England, 
 which dilfer foinev\diat from thofc ot Scotland, as the latter par- 
 takes more of the Roman than the former, and th-.m we may 
 perhaps be io happy as to dilier only upon ju(l and cquitab'e 
 princi,-Ies. Auvl though it v.-as the v.-iil oi Providence, in the 
 col(Mnzing age, to caule a difperfion ot mankind bv the con- 
 fufiC'n of language, the tendency of our Saviour's advice for a 
 reunion, the growth of moirarchies, the illuftration and re- 
 ftoration o[ languages, and various other circumfbances in tliis 
 age of cultivation and improvement, indicate the will of Provi- 
 dence to be towartls a reunion. And were maiddnd once 
 brough.t back r.gain to fpeak one language with prceifion, it 
 feems probable that they would ot courfe become of one opi- 
 nion, and that Britons of all denominations woultl reunite 
 under the moil general name of Englifli, or the iOand 
 men. 
 
 And to prove the confufion of knowledge to be the cncQ 
 of that ot langua.ge, we ri^'cd ordy recur to our late altercations 
 M-ith refpccl to the America government, the right of the collec- 
 tive body to a rcpreientation in parliament and tiic priviic'ees 
 of the de,)uted members in their feparatc ibite over the cu'icc- 
 Li\ebody, for want of a due concepcion of the liid princiiiics

 tr original divine frame of government on v/hich the Engltfh 
 conftitution was founded, but with which we might have been 
 fufficicntly furnifhed by a right definition of the terms of oi'.r 
 faws and tenures and names of p'aces and things : For, though 
 both parties mufl have meant to f\ipport the public libtrties, as 
 V'ell as their refpeftivc claims, each fecmed to purfue a courfe 
 4ireclly oppcfite to the propofed end, namely, our colonies 
 ftruggled hard to fhake or get rid of the EngUfli conftitution, 
 and to fubjctl themfelves to a charter or rega! conftitution of 
 goverimient, and the houfe of reprefentatjves v/ere as refolute 
 to prevent it, and at the fam.c tim.e of fupporting an authority 
 ever their conflitucnt<- But had the origin and principles 
 of our government been invefligated by the names of things 
 which clearly fhew the natural and political divificns of coun- 
 tries and pofTcirions and the original foundation of government 
 and order of the world revealed to our forefathers, as in the fore- 
 going work, without doi:bt each fide would have purfv.ed a 
 very different conduft for the prefervation of their rcfpe6tive 
 rights and powers ; fince they could not have imagined that 
 any party or body of Englifh people could make a conquefk 
 of the red, or annihilate the EngHlh conftitutiori, without the 
 mutual ruin and dclbuction of the whole people and 
 country. 
 
 It v.-ould he endlcfs to produce fpccimens of the powers of 
 languages in the invefligation of things. It is fhortly the 
 author's plan in his feveral effays to invcftigate the origin of lan- 
 guageSj nations, knowledge and opinioris, fo as to introduce 
 a.n univc.fal language on the firft natural principles ol fpeech, 
 to rcflorc ancient knoivledge, and reuniie manknid. 'lo that 
 end he has at leaft atteiTiptcd to ilicw that hum.an fpeech deri\'es 
 its origin from revelation, th:;t letters, as real characters, as well 
 as reprcfentatior.s of found', have a nai'vnl conctpoudcrice 
 with, and, like names, are Cf.m.plcirly cxprclhvc ot ideas and 
 things, as their natural aichetypcs, of vhich larger n.amcs and

 pcTfons, places and things ; and thofe fupporteJ by the opinions 
 of ancient writers. 
 
 And if we compare the names of perfons with thofe of 
 places from whence the former are derived, and duly revife and 
 rectify the annals of our country by the foregoing efTay, wc 
 fliali be fu^ly convinced that the individuals have been fo well 
 intermixed, that feme of every fort may be met with in every 
 Celtic country ; and as fuch a connexion mutually redounds 
 to our advantage and g'ory, and tends to the reiteration of 
 peace and unanimity amongft us, we fhould inftead of coun- 
 teracling the ends of Providence as well as the author's en- 
 deavours, and wilfully and perverfely depreciating our feveral 
 origin and antiquities, mutually concur in the profecution of 
 the author's plan. But fo far are we at this time from fuch a 
 purfuit, that not only the hacks, quacks and puffs of all 
 countries, but alfo gentlemen, and fome of Englilh extraftion, 
 perhaps without knowing it, and merely to gratify vanity and 
 national prejudice, or for amufement, bufdy employed in fepa- 
 rating and depreciating the origin and antiquities of Great- 
 Britain, and promoting divifions amongft mankind. Had our 
 Pars in parfon, and its infle^lion with mac prefixed, fignifving 
 the fon of parfon, the fon of Par, of Engiifli origin, a little more 
 deliberately examined the matter, our learned antiquaries, with- 
 out doubt, would have feen that no diftinclion in favour of the 
 Scots and Irilh, exclufive of the Englifh, can be juftly deduced, 
 either fromhifloryor etymology, derived fromthe language of the 
 fifft poUcflors, cr of thofe who impofed the names, but that 
 whatever had a tendency towards lelTening the one, muft de- 
 preciate the other, but thofe gentlemen have unfortunately re- 
 fj»rted to the wrouii dialect for their definitions of a fevv de- 
 tached n;imcs, and looked upon our antiquities merely through 
 the falfe medium of the ancients, inftead of availing themfeives 
 as they ouiiht, olour late publications. It is liowever to be hoped 
 that our little eff.iy on the Orphcm ftrings, has at laft forced out 
 the truth from things inanimate and cieanfed the Augean fta- 
 bic, fotli.it v»-e may ;'.'i clearly fee its bjttom, and convince all 
 v.iiu ckli'.dcrs oF iiiv:inrLlvc>. and others, that the origiu and 
 antiquities of the i'n;;-!ifh nation and language arc inferior to 
 none, and induce them to national love and fellow feelin.,, and 
 to ^lov in the name ot an Englilhman, and their near aniance 
 to the fi it people of Kujope, the replenifliers, cultivators, and 
 governors oi the earth, and chief pronu)ters of the wife cnd.s of 
 Providence , hut as to tr.oic {]^:n ni;,v ftill fcek after a fuperior 
 oiiviu and -antiquity to the Ei'.g'ilh, they will at laft find them- 
 feives to be in the purfuit of " a vain imaginary notion that draws

 , To conclude, we upon the whole conceive tlie origin, lan- 
 guage, and aiiliquities of the Celtic n;'.tions, partituiarly the 
 tngliih, to have been much n-.iricprck:ntcd and injured by 
 their pwn as well as foreign hiilorians. antiquaries, lexicogra- 
 phers and grammarians. For, besides the varior-s p:oofo al- 
 ready given of it, tiie fohowiiig reir -k ilicus, rhat the f.eople 
 snd language are c^boiiginal, viz. thepcoplc appear to be fo 
 by their lani:uage, and the Jiinguagc by its nearer approach to 
 the original language than any in Europe, or perh'ips elfe- 
 tffhere, and its having been framed bv the hierogivphic and ar- 
 graphic archetypes, and the intiecLingform of conlbnant.s by the 
 <iruids or others concerned in the nrit diviiion of the European 
 countries agreeable to the original form of letters, and though 
 the inileciing form of fpeaking has been difufed, in order to 
 introduce more complex names therein, its original ufe flill ap- 
 pears by the regularprogrefuon of the radical confonants, in their 
 variations from the names cf fubftances to i'vYm thcfe of qualities 
 according to the inflecting form, and its being ilill preierved 
 in fpeakrng in its filler dialecl the "\^'eHh, aiul in the preient 
 fiate of the Engliili vocables and conneclives, fo as to form a 
 natural connection of grammar. And as the Roman characters 
 only are intirely hicroglyfic and argrafic, it feems mo^e pro- 
 bable that the Egyptians, Phcenicians, and the Greeks fiamed 
 their adulterated and mixed characters by thOiC of the "^rufcnns 
 and Umbri of Cifah-ine Gaul, the ariccft^'rs of the Engljfn, 
 than that they borrowed their miore perfect letters from thofe 
 which want the hieroglvfic or fccret pai't of the alpliabct. But

 in order to extci^d and deicnd their borders ; and by 
 whofe fupport they at firil founded the Loegrian domi-
