The principle on which the seven days of the week are named in India is the same on which it has been done in Scandinavia :

(1) Sunday is called by the Hindus Aditwaram, after Addit, the sun, after which also the Scandinavians call the day Sondag.

(2) Monday is called by the Hindus Somawaram, from Soma, the moon. Among the Scandinavians it is called Mondag.

(3) Tuesday is called Mangaluraram in India after the Hindu hero, Mangla It bears the name Tisdag amongst the Scandinavians, after their hero, This.

(4) Wednesday is termed Boudhawaram by the Hindus, after Boudha; by the Scandinavians, it is denominated after Oden (Wodan, Bodham, Budha), Onsdag.

(5) Thursday is called Brahaspatiwarum by the Hindus, after Brahspati, or Brahma, their principal god; it bears the name Thorsdag amongst the Scandinavians, after their principal god, Thor.

(6) Friday is called by the Hindus Sucrawaram, after Suera, the goddess of beauty; it is named by the Scandinavians after Freja, the goddess of beauty, Frejdag.

(7) Saturday is called Saniwaram by the Hindus after Sanischar, the god who cleanses spiritually; it is named Lordag by the Scandinavians from loger, bathing.

"We have here," says Count Bjornstjerna, himself a Scandinavian gentleman, "another proof that the Myths of the Scandinavians are derived from those of the Hindus,"1

THE HYPERBOREANS.

"Hail, Mountain of delight!

Palace of glory, blessed by Glory's King!
With prospering shade embower me, while I sing
Thy wonders, yet unreach'd by mortal flight!
Sky-piercing mountain! in thy bowers of love
No tears are seen, save where medicinal stalks
Weep drops balsamic o'er the silvered walks."

-HYMN TO INDRA : Sir W. Jones' translation,

THE Hyperboreans (who formerly occupied the Northern-most parts of Europe and Asia) were the Khyber, purians, or the inhabitants of Khyberpur and its district. Another Khyber settlement will be seen in Thessaly on the Eastern branch of Phoenix river. Its name is tolerably well-preserved as Khyphara and Khyphera.1

Mr. Pococke says: "While the sacred tribe of Dodo, or the Dadan, fixed their oracle towards the northerly line of the Hellopes, in Thessaly, the immediate neighbours of the Hyperborcans took up their abode towards the south of the holy mountain of To-Maros, or Soo-Meroo. These were the Pashwaran, or the emigrants from Peshawar, who appear in the Greck guise of PasWe now readily see the connection between the settlements of the Dodan (Dodonian Oracle), Passaron (Peshawar people), and the offerings of the Hyperboreans, or the men of Khyberpur, who retained this appellation wherever they subsequently settled."2

GREAT BRITAIN.

"Whether this portion of the world were rent
By the rude Ocean, from the Continent,
Or thus created; it was sure design'd
To be the sacred refuge of mankind."

WALLER: To the Protector.

THE Druids in ancient Britain were Buddhistic Brahmans; they adopted the metempsychosis, the preexistence of the soul, and its return to the realms of universal space. They had a divine triad, consisting of a Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer, as with the Buddhists. The Druids constituted a Sacredotal Order which reserved to itself alone the interpretation of the mysteries of religion.

"The ban of the Druids was equally terrible with that of the Brahmans; even the king against whom it was fulminated 'fell,' to use the expression of the Druids, like grass before the scythe.' "1

Mr. Pococke says: "It was the Macedonian hero who invaded and vanquished the land of his forefathers unwittingly. It was a Napier who, leading on the small but mighty army of Britain, drove into headlong flight the hosts of those warlike clans from whose parent stock himself and not a few of his troops were the direct descendants."2

Mr. Pococke also says: "The Scotch clans, their original localities and their chiefs in Afghanistan and Scotland, are subjects of the deepest interest. How little did the Scotch officers who perished in the Afghan

campaign think that they were opposed by the same tribes from whom they themselves sprang! A work on this subject is in progress.

Mr. Pococke says: "It is in no spirit of etymologi-` cal trifling that I assure the reader, that the far-famed 'hurrah' of his native country (England) is the warcry of his forefather, the Rajput of Britain, for he was long the denizen of this island. His shout was 'haro! haro!' (hurrah! hurrah!) Hark to the spirit-stirring strains of Wordsworth, so descriptive of this Oriental warrior. It is the Druid who speaks:

Then seize the spear, and mount the scythed wheel,
Lash the proud steed, and whirl the flaming steel,
Sweep through the thickest host and scorn to fly,
Arise! arise! for this it is to die.

Thus, neath his vaulted cave the Druid sire

Lit the rapt soul, and fed the martial fire."

"The settlement of the people of the Draus in this island, the northern part of which was essentially that of the HI-BUDH-DES (E-BUDH-DES,) or the land of the Hiya Bud'has at once accounts satisfactorily for the amazing mechanical skill displayed in the structure of Stone Henge, and harmonises with the industrious and enterprising character of the Budhists throughout the old world; for these are the same people who drained the valley of Cashmir, and in all probability the plains of Thessaly."

The history of the Druids is thus explained: "The Druids were Drui-des. They were in fact the same as the Druopes. These venerated sages, chiefs of the tribes of the Draus, were of the Indu Vansa or lunar Hence the Symbol of the crescent worn by 2India in Greece, p. 114,

these Druids. Their last refuge in Britain from the oppression of the Romans was 'the Isle of Saints' or 'Mona' (more properly Mooni,' Sanskrit for a holy sage). The Druids were the bards of the ancient Rajputs."

Hark! 'twas the voice of harps that poured along
The hollow vale the floating tide of song;

I see the glittering train, in long array,

Gleam through the shades, and snowy splendours play ;
I see them now with measured steps and slow,
'Mid arching groves the white-robed sages go.
The caken wreath with braided fillet drest—
The crescent beaming on the holy breast-
The silver hair which waves above the lyre,

And shrouds the strings, proclaim the Druid's quire.
They halt and all is hushed.

That the Hindus lived in Britain in ancient times is clear from the fact that a chief of the twiceborn was once brought from Saka-dwipa (Britain) to India by Vishnu's eagle.1

For further information regarding the Hindu colonization of Great Britain see Godfrey Higgins' "Celtic Druids", wherein it has been proved that the Druids were the priests of the Hindu colonists who emigrated from India and settled in Britain.

I do not believe that after this marked series of analogies, a series which embraces the entire organization of their tongues, that their radical affinity can be contested.

"The Celtic race established in Europe from the most ancient times must have been the first to arrive there. The decisive analogies which these languages still present to the Sanskrit carry us back to the most ancient period to which we can attain by Comparative Philology, . . Lettre à M. Humboldt.
