First sentence: RESPECTING the original colonists of Britain-the more adventurous members of the two great nomadic tribes, the Cimmerii or Cimbrians and the Celtae or Celts, who wandered from he shores of the Thracian Bosphorus to the northern coasts of Europe, and passed, some from Gaul across the Channel, others through "the Hazy" or German Ocean, to these islands-a few slight and scattered notices by the Greek and Latin writers, and an occasional passage in the Welsh Triads, form the meagre total of our information.
