THE singular connexion which exists between the inhabitants, manners, and language of the Breton peninsula, and those of the western and southern shores of our own island, gives to its obscure and gloomy history a degree of interest which it would otherwise be very far from possessing. The Welsh, the Cornish, and the Breton tribes, constituted almost the last relics of that primæval nation, the antiquity of which may be traced far beyond the earliest records of profane history, and whose hundred republics extended from the Pillars of Hercules to the Rhine and the Adriatic. The gradual downfal of this great European family was effected by the constant progression of the eastern nations of Europe towards the west, the earliest notices of which are lost in the mists of antiquity. At the time of the Roman conquest, the prevalent belief was, that the Celts had once acquired such a preponderance over the Teutonic race, that their colonies had penetrated into the heart of Germany; but that their early superiority had been lost, when their martial character decayed from the contagious proximity of civilized life. As the Germans passed their natural barrier, and established themselves on the left bank of the Rhine, the more warlike Gaulish nations, which occupied their frontier, gradually adopted their manners and character: and the Belgæ of the Low Countries, and of South Britain, bore a greater resemblance to their German neighbours than to their Celtic kindred. The earlier races of Celts were forced to retire westward, and established their chain of maritime republics on the shores of the ocean. And at a later period the more powerful Cymri, or Belgæ of Britain, driven in their turn from the conquests of their ancestors, amalgamated in Wales, in Cornwall, and in Britanny, with the descendants of those whom their fathers had subdued. Even in the physical character of the western extremities of England and France, there is a remarkable similitude. The VOL. I. NO. II. Y moors of Cornwall re-appear on a more extended scale in the wide heathy plains of central Britanny; they are skirted in the same manner by an indented coast, furrowed with deep and narrow estuaries, around whose mouths the rocks of slate and granite have assumed the most fantastic forms from the encroachments of the waves. The climate of both is moist, mild, and variable, subject to the constant alternation of mist and sunshine, which prevails along the coasts of the Atlantic. This species of atmosphere has been somewhat fancifully believed to be congenial with that imaginative and gloomy superstition which has produced the greater part of our northern mythology, however it may have been adulterated by importations from the legends of the East. The fairies of popular belief, whose appearance has been traced in many countries to some foreign origin, were the indigenous inhabitants of Britanny; as they still continue, under the name of Pixies, to tenant the caverns and desolate buildings of Devon and Cornwall. The names of Hoel and Uther, the thousand adventures of the fabulous Arthur and his chivalry, form part of the popular story on both sides of the Channel. His brilliant exploits in Logris, in France, and in Norway, were related alike in both countries, although his warriors were Cambrian or Armorican, according to the nation to which his historian belonged. "Both nations waited with equal confidence for the re-appearance of Arthur; for this sovereign was not dead; he was slumbering at the foot of Etna, he had been seen in Palestine, he was wandering in the forests of Britanny and all these adventures were so widely spread, that during many ages they formed the subject of romances written in the modern languages, by Trouveurs and Troubadours."-vol. i. p. 22. Not only Amadis of Gaul, but Lancelot, Tristram, and even the celebrated Merlin, or Myrddhin, are citizens of Armorica in the Breton romances. The last of these personages is also claimed by Scotland: and the antiquaries of modern times, in their zeal to account for the conflicting traditions of our ancestors, have been constrained to multiply the enchanter into almost as many distinct individuals as were enumerated by the mythologists of Greece under the name of the Conqueror Hercules. The same traditions, probably founded in fact, are discovered in Britanny and Cornwall, respecting the remarkable encroachments of the sea on their coast: accompanied with the same exaggerated ideas of the ancient grandeur and importance of those towns and territories whose site is at present covered by the sea. In the neighbourhood of Quimper, the noble city of Ys, the elder sister of Paris, lies buried in the waves of the bay of Douarnenez; its walls, with their imperishable cement, are still discernible under the calm water, and the narrow passages among the rocks are called severally, among |
