Epigraph

Let us now praise famous men.
The Lord hath wrought great glory by them, through his great power from the beginning.
Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and declaring prophecies:
Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent are their instructions.
Such as found out Musical Tunes, and recited Verses in writing.
All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.

ECCLESIASTICUS, Chap. xliv. ver. 1, etc.

"Posteri dies testes sunt Sapientiæ Antiquorum:
"Inquirens, invenies non Rubum, sed Rosam."

Dedication

Dedicated by permission to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales

First words

The primitive British Bards constituted one of the most respected order of the men in the ancient British states: they were the Fathers of Sciences; the national instructors, musicians, legislators, priests, prophets, and often princes.
