510 Rev. Mr Wriuuiams on one Source of the 
of the interior parts and of the western coast. Their character 
and their habits were different from those of the other Britons, 
with whom Cxsar fought. We are not apprised, and have no 
reason to conjecture, that he saw the interior habitants. The 
armies that opposed him were similar, in their general habits, in 
their military art and resources, to each other, as they were also 
to the Belge of Kent. 
The monuments we call Druidical must be appropriated ex- 
clusively to Aborigines of the midland and western divisions. 
They are found in such corners and fortresses as have, in all ages 
and countries, been the last retreat of the conquered. In Wales 
and in Mona they were used and venerated until the aborigines 
were completely subjugated by Roman arms. In the central 
counties, and in the west, they perpetually occur, from Cornwall 
to Cumberland, whereas few traces of them are discovered in the 
eastern part of the island, which therefore appears to have been 
occupied by those people who did not construct buildings of this 
nature, and who obtained possession before the aborigines deeply 
impressed their character upon the soil.” 
Of the race of the “ Veteres Galli,” were also the A.dui and 
Arverni. Both these nations claimed the sovereignty of all Gaul, 
and seem to have been regarded as the natural chiefs’ of the 
central tribes. The Aidui seem to have derived their name 
from A<) the Great, the father of Prupary, one of the three 
pillars of the race of the Cumri. Nor is it improbable, that 
C#sar’s notion “that all the Gauls held that they sprang from 
Father Drs, and that this was taught by the Druids,” originated 
in a mistake, which led him to confound the Greek ‘Ady with 
the Cumbrian A<d the Great.’ It is, moreover, difficult, without
