Plants illustrating exotic collections
The study of plants was nothing new when The Royal Society was founded, but some of our earliest Fellows changed it drastically. Perhaps they did not do this as suddenly or as completely as did Newton for dynamics, but in the long run they had at least as great an influence on views of the natural world and how to study it. Did God create all the great variety of plants no one (in Europe) had ever seen before, and if so why? Plants brought back b…
The new millennium
A journal of the history of science seems almost obliged to mark the transition from one millennium to another, artificial though that may be. It seems even more contrived for a journal that is about science related to The Royal Society, for our history spans not even a millennium but almost exactly one–third of that period. Yet the history of science in those years has much to teach us today about the practice and use of science and to help in p…

VIII. The Celts
PARTLY similar to the tale of Diarmuid at Dubhros, partly to that of Cod in the Forest of Wonders, is the old High land poem by Blind O'Cloan entitled Bds Fhraoich or ' The Death of Fraoch.' 1 It tells how Mai loved Fraoch but, becoming jealous of her own daughter Geal-cheann or 'Fair-head,' plotted his destruction.'The Rev. T. M'Lauchlan ib.p. 54 n. 3 says: 'It is generally believed in Perthshire that the scene of Fraoch's death was in Glen Cuai…

HITHERTO we have confined our "attention almost exclus ively to Ireland and the Isle of Man. It may next be shown that partial parallels to the foregoing Irish and Manx beliefs can be traced elsewhere among the Insular Celts
V. The Celts
Manx tradition knows nothing of Nuada or of Bile. In their stead it tells of Manannan, a god in some respects comparable to them both; for he too had pretensions to control the atmosphere, the sea, and the world of the dead. He used to exhibit his power over the air by enshrouding his eponymous island in mist, whenever an assailant tried to find the way thither. 1 Moreover, he was closely related to Lug the sun-god: not only does Lug ride the hor…

The European Sky-God
The European Sky-God. II
THE primitive Greek king, as I showed in my last paper, 1 was the human representative of the sky-god Zeus, and in that capacity was not only called by his name but also believed to act as his vice-gerent. Thus he was expected to control the sun and to feed its flames, partly by kindling periodic bonfires on a mountain-top, partly by maintaining a perpetual fire on his own hearth. Again, he was rain maker for the district, and could, when he so d…
