The Name “Britain”

Abstract

As “C. L. N. F.” has in your last well answered the letter of “A. R. H.,” I have now only to reply to Mr. Hyde Clarke's letter, in which he says I should find it difficult in my derivation of “Britannia” and “tin” “to explain on the same basis the conformable names” of the countries and rivers which he mentions, inasmuch as “these names are not explainable in Phœnician, because they were given long before the Phœnicians entered on the stage of history.”
