Dr. Whittaker, the learned historian of Manchester, may have been in error in assigning so large a number as three thousand English words to a Celtic origin, but undoubtedly a large part of the English language has sprung from this source. The Celtic races were neither wholly destroyed nor banished by the conquering Saxon. They have long been blended in England with the Saxon race, but they have left an enduring mark of their
hermes bags outlet existence in the language. I will now turn to the consideration of some Celtic words tiffany and co outlet which are found in our early writers, but which have at length fallen into disuse. They will show the necessity of this branch of philology, for the

) Ducange has the word bragare, evidently from the same source, which he derives from the French word brave " Bragare Ex mundiore cultu gloriolam aucupari. Ficta vox a Gallico brave.
