The Belgae were a Gothic race ; and they had driven the Celts out of the 

 south-east of Britain and established themselves there, long before the 

 time of Csesar (pp. 113, 121, 122, 146, 195). The Deluge was " at most a 

 local event " (p. 33). 



" Pinkerton's hypothesis" was that the " Irish, Scottish Highlanders, Welsh, 

 Bretons, and Biscayans, were the only surviving aborigines of Europe; 

 and that they were incapable of susceptibility to the higher influences of 

 civilisation." *"

Johnson stayed at Heale House in 1783 ; and visited Stonehenge from 

 thence, in company with Mr. Bowles. He writes, Stonehenge " is, in 

 my opinion, to be referred to the earliest habitation of the Island, as a 

 Druidical monument of at least 2000 years ; probably the most ancient 

 work of man upon the Island. Salisbury Cathedral and its neighbour, 

 Stonehenge, are two eminent monuments of art and rudeness, and may 

 show the first essay, and the last perfection, in architecture." (Vol. II., 

 315—317.)
