Footnotes:
[1] Many of the provisions of the Brehon Laws, such as those relating to Land, to Offences, Compensations, and Punishments; to Professions, Trades, and Industries; to the mutual duties of the various classes of people, from the king down to the slave; to the modes of summoning wrong-doers before the brehons’ courts, with a description of the manner in which trials were conducted; and various other details, will be found in my two Social Histories of Ancient Iceland.
[2] Freely translated (in “Old Celtic Romances”) by Dr. Joyce, from the old poem in the original Irish version.
[3] I saw the same custom in full swing in some of the lay schools before 1847. Many a time I prepared my lesson—with some companions—sitting on the grass beside the old abbey in Kilmallock, or perched on the top of the ivy-mantled wall.
[4] The Irishmen who went to the Continent in those times always took Latin names, which were generally translations of their Irish names.
