[3084] B. G., v, 9, § 1.

[3085] The Invasion of Britain, &c., 1862, p. cxxiii. If the reader will consult Lewin’s map in Archaeologia, xl, 1866, p. 369, or my reproduction of it, he will see that even if Lewin’s final view of the topography of Hythe harbour could be accepted (see pp. 547-8, supra), the absurdities involved in his theory of Caesar’s disembarkation would still remain.

[3086] I mean of course that this would have been their true course.

[3088] Information supplied by Commander Boxer, R.N., Harbour-Master at Folkestone.

[3089] See Falconer’s Marine Dictionary, 1815, p. 220.

[3090] The harbour-master of Dover, who fully endorses my argument, thinks that four points would be a fair estimate.
