Ebook 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.
