was taken prisoner by Ella of Northumberland, it must have been in
the latter half of the ninth century. Suhm places his death nearly
a century earlier, 794.]

are found in the 'English Archæological Journal,' xxiii. p. 187.]

[Footnote 375: It is by no means clear whether Mr. Sadler, who is
the author of this paper, ever visited the spot, or compiled his
information from Janssen's book, which, however, he never mentions.
Be this as it may, it is the best paper I know of on the subject,
and well worthy of perusal.]

me by Mr. Franks. It is sufficient to show the nature of the
construction, but the camera is a singularly unintelligent
interpreter of plan or arrangements.]
[Footnote 377: There are several dolmens, as before stated, in
rugged mountainous parts of Luxemburg, but they seem to belong to
the old races that in those corners were not swept away by the
Belgian current.]
