TO THE EDITOR. SIR, ——— As yott have inserted in your Gazettes of the J Qth and th of last month, some remarks by a wrier under the signature of J I )?t the Welsh t. hru- nictc, n which my translation of it published in the Cotlectanea Cumbrtca, is particularly referred to, I hai-e t,, reque i the ins rtion in your Ga zelle of a few words in leply, for the sake of those who have not the book us If to consult. 1 am Sir, eff c. Oswestry. P. ROBERTS. Yourt (drrespondelll observes, thai to this Chronicle, in consequence of a recent publication, a degree of authority has been attached, whieh rendcls 11 necessary to enquire more par: iciilarl) i :to its meri's, ali i the claims i. has to auiiien- tioity." Now, Sir, as it is well known to those, >vho are in any decree tolerably conversant wnr. • he subject, that previous to the appearance ot uiis translation, the j/ubiic mind was very much prejudiced against, the idea of the authenticity of the Chronicle if the recent puhlicat ion has | t; Vi ii it a degree of authority, it might be pre- sUllied (hat some arguments had been addticcd by I til" Nvlll(,Il were powerful enough to prevail against the prejudice. An i this is so far the faet, that IlIe safi;t: arguments ami proofs winch gave to illY own convictIon the extent as- signed io it, ys to the authenticity of the history, have been given in ttie Collectanea. Having al- ready done this as to the stale object ions ot for- gery and lallie, it cannot be necessary for me to repeat ihem here, or to attend farther to the heedless levity of assertion, and the crude ani- madversions uf H real oratlecfed ignorance, 'vlveh grace the lexers of your correspondent, than by an instance or two to enable your readers tojl1d¡:;e how fai he is qualified for the office which lie has assumed. Your correspondent asserts, that the Brut bad nor been licar' I of till ti:e t ",el (til cell (tif Y." It ii getici-ally thought very difficult to p>ove a negative, and therefore rash to assert a negative without a decisive proof of the impossibility of the coilliaily, By whatwizard intelligencer J.J. has been so accurately instructed as to what was not heard of till the twelfth century or how otherwise, unless by a Py thagorean reminiscence of his having seen, or with equal possibility, written the original copy of the Brut, he could be assured of what he has asserted, does not appear and till it does, the correctness of the assertion may be doubted. Neither do I appre- hend that the arguments I have offered on the contrary side of this question, will be much in- jured by it. The subsequent instance is of a more serious kind, though not as affecting what I have written, hut your correspondent. In his first letser lie says that. lite Chronicle is rrpletp, with ana chronisms and in the second letter he has pro- duced what would certainly be an anachronism, if it were so slated in the Chronicle; viz. ihar lirutus is said to have met with Anacletus, who was Bishop of liome-a thousand years after- wards." The Chronicle does state that Bru'us inet with one Anacletus, a young Greek, and friend of one Antigonus, a Greek also, but with- out any farther designation. In a note of mille, however, oil the name Anacletus, I have said, (page 10) this name I suspect to have been one of.Geoffrey's many errors in reading the abridg- ment of names in his manuscript and that the original name was An<iIochus, and written Ants, in ii/'s copy. About Geoffrey's time the name of Aiiaclettis, (lie Antipope,was familiar,and there- fore readily substituted." Hence Ihell, by first perverting the sense of the note, and then con- founding ille note with the text, he has fabricat- ed an anachronism, and imputed it to the Chro- nicle. With equal truth does he in th? same letter assert, that the writer of the Chronicle makes Bruins '5 sail on dry land, thiough a very considerable part of Africa." The words of the Chronicle are these, on the ninth day they made the coast of Africa, near the altars of the Philistines from hence they sailed hy the salt- ,fa ke, ami (hc coast bet ween It uscadanand Azara; from hence, passing the river Malva, they sailed to Mauritania from hence they went to the of What there is here 01 sailing on dry laud, I believe your readers will be as much at a loss to tind as I myself am. Uu: they will perceive a most flagrant misrepresen fat ion of he sense in < his and the former instance. In the same letter, lie says, kk the Brut, in p. 18, has the following remark." Ciogniagog is brought by Corimeus to a flat, and high rock; this he (the translator) remarks, must have been a Druidioal altar." My words are, it may/»<?/•- hiipshe inferred, that (lie use of tiie Cromlech was for such exhibitions—I am the more inclined to believe this conj dure is light," &c. for in lac1, I was not, iior am aware, that the real useol tin* Cromlech has been ascertained. Again, he say k. the Jewish history is taken verbalimfroin Nen- nius." Wliat lie is pleased to call the Jewish history, consists of five chronological references ill the Brut, which is the text of the translation, and of these o\E only is to be found in Nemiius; and even this, though the same in substance, which, if referred to at all, it must be, is not the same v- rbalim. In the Chronicle, p. 31, it is said, about this time Eli was Priest of Judea, and the ark of the covenant was in the possession of the Phitistiw s." The words of iNentiius are Qui Brito regnabat in Britannia, tempore quo Heli Sacerdasjudtcabal Israelem, and tunc area Domini abalicgenis possidebatur. Which Brito (Brutus) reigned in Ihitain when Eli the priest judged Isi-ael and the ark o.f the Lord was in the possession of those of another nation. I had some how or other imagined that verbatim signified word for teord (or al least ex pression for expres- sion) the same but here I find that Eli teas priest of Judsa, and llž the. priest, judged Is,-net; as also the ark of the cownallt and the ark of the Lord, are vrrbatirii, the same if) your correspondent's opinion. But in this sense of the word he has only exercised the sallie kind i-t)ul as tha: which he exerts over the passages he quotes of which his third letter will afford another admirable specimen. According to his reading, ihe Chro- nicle relates that Beli and Bran, plundered Rome in the consulship of Gabii tit town near Rome) and Porsemifi." The words of 'he Chronicle are, at that rime there were two princes, to whose superintendauce the government of Rome was committed; Gahius and I'orsenna." So that was only- ciiiiiigiii- Gtilitis into Gabii, iiiid to! a town is made a consul Really it may be appre- hended that, when your correspondent undertakes to give a Roman history, he will metamorphose the Seipios into walking-staves,and attribute the glory of the conquests of Africa and Spain to two cudgels. There is no knowin wfwre sflch licence of the imagination will stop; and in :rud. the va- j garies it has already played may well excuse me froin following it fariiie I may, however, he ex.iected, that I sholll f not pass over his asser- tion, thaf a great part of the history givun in Ihe > Chronicle is taken from Netiiiiis. If two his to* riaiis write upon the sa i e subject, 'hey must as far as facts or traditions general y received are admitted by bo h, state the same facts or tradi- tions, but whether either borrowed from the other or if theone lid, which was the borrower, can only be determined, when it js certainly known which of the two wa, the earliest writer- an;i till i' is, it may with a much certainty be atserted that Nennius borr wed from the Chro- nisle, as the contrary. It is true that the salt- j lake, tluscadan, Azara, Malva, and the Pifiar^ of Hercules, are meti'ione l •>/ ihe wri er <>f i>e Chronicle and Nennius theiat e;, ho*ev<has "dIed that Ih,- son-in-law 01 Ph., o¡¡h v.en flY land to ihe ulta-s of the Philistine^, an i hence I suppose, by his happy skill in confusion, your correspondent has made po >r Brutus sail on dry lanu through m great part of Africa. though, ihe Chronicle is perfectly innocent of any such re- prcsenta ion. To what i have said it is no: requisite fo'add much AV hen such confusion of ideas, sue:, gross perversion ynd such inaccuracy of quotation, are exhibited, as have seldom occurred in so few :iiies, and are such as a mere inspecti'-n ol the work refeired to will at once (I i,;c(,, ei, i do not come within the catalogue of means usually adopted to injure 11 publication, nor is it easy to assign a rational motive, even to an anonymous witer, for assert ion«, which are open to idea- tion by" jiere inspection 01 the passages, iJS to -ii,eii they iire r,;t(ie And indeed when such are so (tardily made, Ihe necessary result to him who makes them tain ■» 'te very enviable.
