In the century before the commencement of the Christian era, Britain was inhabited by a population for the most part of Celtic origin. This population was composed of about forty tribes, varying greatly in numbers, power, and civilization. Those dwelling near the southern and eastern coasts were superior in all the arts of life to the rest of the inhabitants of the island. The Britons who occupied the western promontory (now called Cornwall) and the isles adjoining it, had been for centuries resorted to by foreigners for the sake of the metals with which their country abounded. They were skilful in working their mines, very hospitable, and their manners, from their long intercourse with strangers, had attained a certain degree of refinement. The maritime districts opposite Gaul and Germany were held by the descendants of Belgic and other invaders, who had at no remote period dispossessed the former owners of those regions, driven them into the interior, and established colonies, which nearly all retained the names of their parent states. Thus in Britain, as on the Continent, were settled in organized communities tribes of the Belgae, the Atrebates, the Hedui, the Morini, the Cimbri, the Parisii, the Senones, and other nations of the Gauls. The inhabitants of the maritime states, and especially the Cantii (or people of Kent), who were by far the most civilized of them, maintained a continual intercourse with their kindred in Gaul, and differed but little from them in dress, manners, dwellings, and mode of life. They understood the advantages of commerce. They had some manufactures and handicrafts amongst them. They were not unskilful in agriculture; and they raised more corn than was needed for their own use. They bred and employed the horse. In the south¬east the population was dense, and the country thickly studded with buildings and herds of cattle. But beyond the limits of the maritime states every sign of civilization gradually disap-peared. The tribes of the interior knew little or nothing of husbandry. They lived upon the produce of their flocks and herds, and their clothing was composed of the skins of beasts. Even this degree of advancement was unknown to the savages of the northern regions of the island, who wandered amongst their hills and morasses with but little defence against the severity of the climate, and depended for existence upon what they could obtain by hunting or fishing.The government of the various British tribes was, for the most part, monarchical in form. The authority, however, of the "kings" was in general very limited, the real power being in the hands of the sacerdotal order, and in those of the multitude, which they swayed at will. The priests, (who were called Druids,) were the sole legislators; they decided almost all causes, whether public or private, civil or criminal; they decreed both rewards and punishments; they were exempt from military service, and from all public burthens; and they had power to strike the disobedient, (even the highest,) with a sentence of interdict and outlawry. The kings were but the ministers for executing their com¬mands; and the most dignified function of these petty princes was to lead the warriors of their tribe when they took the field.The British armies consisted of infantry, cavalry, and charioteers. The infantry formed the great bulk of their forces. They were rapid in their movements, practised swimmers, and expert with their weapons, but badly armed. Their axes, clubs, swords, and lances were fashioned of bronze, flint, or bone; and their only arm of defence was a small light target. It was their custom, indeed, before engaging, to throw off everything that could impede their freedom of action; on which account, perhaps, it was, that in order to render their aspect more terrible to their enemies, they were accustomed to stain their bodies of a ghastly blue or green colour.
