Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Channel Islands: Historical and Legendary Sketches
The Channel Islands, Whether we consider the salubrity of their climate, the varied beauties of their scenery, the fertility of their soil, or the important part they have sustained in the history of our country, deserve a better acquaintance, and a higher appreciation, than from their isolated position they have hitherto enjoyed. Although the first authentic mention of them appears to be in Caesar's Commentaries, Book VI as a place of refuge for a General, and his partizans, Who ?ed from the neighbouring coast of Gaul, yet the remains of undoubtedly Celtic origin, both in coins, and in the temples for religious worship, sufficiently attest their colonization at a much earlier period.
