Whether the Celtic race ever came to America has been doubted, and may be deemed doubtful yet : there are two strong arguments against it at least, the lack of Monuments like the Stonehenge tem ples, and the Celtic structure of Language, or regular series of interposed ideas not being widely spread in America, and chiefly found in Brazil ...and Florida, where nations of another lineage dwelt. Yet it is pretty certain, not withstanding that nearly all the writers, omit it or deny it, that the old Celts had an intercourse of trade in America once, even from Gaul.
