To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The identity of this Hyperborean Island has been variously claimed ; and our Irish antiquaries amongst others have, on no slight grounds, assumed it to be Ireland. Whether the Round Temple be a tower, or an open circle of upright pillar stones, of course FERMANAGH. 208 there is no determining^ The rotund form was certainly a favourite with the ancient Irish. Their raths or dwellings^ their cairns^ their tumuli^ as well as temples, whether towers or circles of pillar stones, were of that figure.... St. Evin, a writer of the 6th century, who wrote a life of Saint Patrick, mentions a prediction by a Druid of one who would come to Ireland, whose houses would be like those of the Eomans, narrow and angtdar. ^^ A striking evidence," remarks a writer in the Ordnance Survey of Templemore, that previously to the introduction of Christianity into the island no angiUar buildings were known.
Language, and similarity in form and in purpose, are then, we contend, most satisfactorily and powerfully in favour of their heathen origin, and from what has preceded we can have little hesitation in assuming that most, perhaps all, were at once temples of the Sun, depositaries of the sacred fire, indexes to denote the solstices, equinoxes, and motions of the heavenly bodies, and Gnomons, by which the shadow of that Sun, (of which they were the temples,) indicated the Bathos, or seasons of the year.
