    Celtic peoples of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Gaul whose ancient institutions are the passage's subject.

    We cannot safely claim for the Celts of Ireland, in the fifth century of the Christian era, precisely the same degree of culture which Cæsar attributes to the Celts of the Continent in the first century before Christ;
