HIS

 

little book does not profess in any way to

supplement the volume upon Celtic 

Religion

already contributed to this series.

It merely aims

at calling the attention of the general reader to
the mythology of our own country, that as yet

little-known store of Celtic tradition which reflects
the religious conceptions of our earliest articulate

ancestors.

Naturally, its limits compel the writer

to dogmatise, or, at most, to touch but very briefly

upon disputed points, to ignore 

 fascinating

side-issues, and to refrain from putting forward

any suggestions of his own.

But he has based

his work upon the studies of the leading Celtic

scholars, and he believes that the reader 

may

safely accept it as in line with the latest re-

search.
