Pictet has been entirely misled, according to Mr. Nash (see below), by relying on Dr. Edward Williams. 1351. [Alger, William Rounseville]. Celtic, or Druidical, Doctrine of a Future Life. (Christ.

H.

Mr. Nash explodes the notion that the oldest Welsh poems are full of Druidical doctrines, "Arkite mys teries," and pagan mythology, charging Davies, in particular, with the grossest mistranslations in his Celtic Researches. He doubts the belief of the Druids in the doctrine of transmigration. See pp. 134-185.
