About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1827. Not illustrated.

Appian, a writer of the same age, is the first, if not the only, Greek, who makes use of the Roman appellation raVw. Etymology has been long puzzled to account for the name of either Celta or Gallus. According to Lactantius, the Gauls (Galli) of old were called Galatians (Gala-tie), from the whiteness of their body (See Jeroms preface to his commentary on the second epistle to the Galatians), from TafrM, milk; as in Virgils JEneid; ---- " Turn lactca colla Auro innectuntur--: " Whether the word Tu>Aos or Gallus, originally signified a cock...
