Druidic Stones

The object of this Paper is simply to furnish the reader
of the Archceologia Cambrensis with a digest of the
Bardic traditions, with a few passing observations, in
reference to the ancient monuments of the Druids, under
the impression that they will thus conduce to the better
elucidation of points on which antiquaries are too frequently
divided in opinion.

From my How to be a Druid Grove groups Reading circle "The Druid Path" group.
A quick glance one might discard the Book as just a Christian written book of poems bad mouthing the ancient Druids. As was the case for all books of its era if you wanted to get them published and pay the rent.
But as the author mentions many little details about the Druids in the poems. He also gives (for the period in which it was written) excellent notes on where the Details came from in the Classics.
Given us a chance to track the sources of so many Druidic facts or claims one often reads in today's Neo-Druidic writings.
So if one takes the time this little book is an acorn goldmine.
