The etymology of the name of this month is commonly derived from an aritient Etruscan word, &fano, which meal's to cleonse, to purify. Malec the Romaos erected altars to the Cod &bruits, a n d to Juno Eeloun ; for we may remark with the learned author of the " Abregt. of the Universal History," that idolatry had spread itself al far upon the world, before the advent of Christ, th " all was Uud, except God himself." This month was placed under the protection in .
