[127] Lon_dres_, the Gaulish form of London, implies that the radical was _Lon_--and perhaps further, that London was a _holy enclosure dun or derry_ where _luna_, the moon, was worshipped. There is a persistent tradition that St. Paul's, standing on the summit of Ludgate Hill or dun, occupies the site of a more ancient shrine dedicated to Diana, _i.e._, Luna. [128] This name will subsequently be traced to Cres, the son of Jupiter, to whom the Cretans assigned their origin. [129] Wright, T., _Essays on Archæological Subjects_, vol. i., p. 273.

[131] In Albany the memory of "the gudeman" lingered until late, and according to Scott: "In many parishes of Scotland there was suffered to exist a certain portion of land, called _the gudeman's croft_, which was never ploughed or cultivated, but suffered to remain waste, like the _Temenos_ of a pagan temple. Though it was not expressly avowed, no one doubted that 'the goodman's croft' was set apart for some evil being; in fact, that it was the portion of the arch-fiend himself, whom our ancestors distinguished by a name which, while it was generally understood, could not, it was supposed, be offensive to the stern inhabitant of the regions of despair. This was so general a custom that the Church published an ordinance against it as an impious and blasphemous usage. "This singular custom sunk before the efforts of the clergy in the seventeenth century; but there must still be many alive who, in childhood, have been taught to look with wonder on knolls and patches of ground left uncultivated, because, whenever a ploughshare entered the soil, the elementary spirits were supposed to testify their displeasure by storm and thunder," _Demonology and Witchcraft._ [132] These Sources of Life or vessels of Almighty Power were described as Crown, Wisdom, Prudence, Magnificence, Severity, Beauty, Victory, Glory, Foundation, Empire. _Cf._ King, C. W., _The Gnostics and their Remains_, p. 34. [133] Johnston, Rev. J. B., _Place-names of England and Wales_. [134] "The origin of the name is quite unknown to history.... Possibly because so many dogs were drowned in the Thames here."--Johnston, Rev. J. B., _Place-names of England_, p. 321. [135] Walsh, R., _An Essay on Ancient Coins, Medals, and Gems_, p. 58.
