FOOTNOTES:
[1] Many of the provisions of the Brehon Laws, such as those relating to
Land, to Offences, Compensations, and Punishments; to Professions, Trades,
and Industries; to the mutual duties of the various classes of people,
from the king down to the slave; to the modes of summoning wrong-doers
before the brehons’ courts, with a description of the manner in which
trials were conducted; and various other details, will be found in my two
Social Histories of Ancient Iceland.
