78 THE GENUINE HISTORY OF relicks of the denomination of Gael, fcattered over the whole face of the ifland, that it is very furprizing Mr. Macpherfon fhould ever have thought of appropriating it to the Irifh and Highlanders. The Welfh then, who from their name of Cymri are inferred by Mr. Macpherfon to be a diftinft colony from the Gael, may with greater reafon be inferred from their names of Gathel and Welfi), to be abfolucely the fame with them. And the denomination of Wales, which has been univerfally iiiFirmed by the Englilh criticks to have been impofcv.^ upon the country by the Saxons, and as univcrlaiiy agreed by the Welfh to have never been acknowledged by their coun- trymen, aftually appears the acknowledged ap- pellation of the region as early as the 6th cen- tury, and in the poems of a Welfh Bard Eu Ner a folant, Eu hiaith -I g^dwant, Eu tir a gollant, Ond gwyllt Wallia ' ; aftually all the Provincials, all from the Friths to the Britifti- Channel, are denominated Brytvvalas and Brytwalana. The Wei{h of Kent are repeatedly mentioned in p. 14, of Suflex twice in p, 14, of Hampfhire p. i^, of Dorfetfliire p. 25. (Sfec Carte, p. 226. V. L), of Wiltihire p. 20, of Bedfordfhire p. 22, of Somerfetlhire p. 39, of Chefliire p. 25, and of Clydifdale p. 83 and iio. * TaliefTm, as cited by Dr. Davies in his Welfli Grammar. They

The Belgje, who are fuppofed to be ftill more difl:in61:, and were a£lually very different from the Gael, yet being equally derived with them from Gaul, bear equally the appellation of Gael •, the Belgse being all denominated in general, like a tribe on the continent of Gaul, Allo-Broge?, or the Galli Brigantes, amongft the antients; and the BelgJE of Kent, Suffex, Hampfliire, Dorfet- fliire, Wiltfliire, and Somerfetfliire, being all fpecificaily denominated Wealas in the Saxon Chronicle. The Cymri and Belgns are both en- titled Gael, with the Irifli and Highlanders. And Mr. Macpherfon's Belgse I have fliewn be- fore to have been alfo entitled Cimbri with the Welfli. The name therefore, which he fele6ls as the diftinguifliing mark of his fecond colony from his firft and third, appears to have been common to his third and fecond. And the name, which he afligns as the fure fignature of his firft, appears to have been familiar to all the three. P- 35.
