BRUTUS FOUNDS LONDON ABOUT rroo B.C. 175

very fit for his purpose. Here he built a city which he called ‘New Troy’ . . . till by corruption of the original word it came to be called * Tvi-Novantum : ‘a but afterwards ‘ Kaer-Lud’ that is, ‘ The City of Lud’ ”that is, ‘“ Lud-dun” or “ London.” The new evidence confirming this account of the founding of London by Brutus about 1100 B.c.—that is, over three and a half centuries before the traditional founding of Rome—and clearly identifying the Early Briton Londoners with the “ Tri-Novantes ” of Cesar, is detailed in Appendix V. This, therefore, corroborates the tradition of the Trojan founding of London preserved by Milton:

“OQ City, founded by Dardanian hands, Whose towering front the circling realms commands ! ”

Thereafter Brutus, we are told, ‘‘ prescribed Laws for the peaceable government” of citizens—just as, later, the famous Law-codes of two of his descendants in the fifth and 4th cents. B.c. were translated by King Alfred into AngloSaxon for the benefit of the English. This prescription of Laws by an Aryan-Pheenician implies Writing in the Aryan Pheenician Language and Script, and also Education in reading that official writing and Aryan language. In writing, the Phoenicians are admitted by the universal Greek tradition to have been the teachers of Europe. And we have seen the form of the Aryan Phcenician writing and language of about 400 B.c. on the Newton Stone.

This now brings us to the hitherto unsolved and muchdisputed question of the agency by which the Aryan language was first introduced into the British Isles and the date of that great event.

The introduction of the Aryan language into Britain has latterly been universally credited by modern writers to the “‘ Celts,” merely on a series of assumptions by Celtic philologists which, we have seen, are unfounded, namely,

1« Kaer,” the Cymric for “ Fortified city,’’ is now seen to be derived from Sumerian Gay, ‘‘ hold, establish, of men, place’’ (Br. 11953, &c.), cognate with Indo-Persian Garh, “‘ fort,’’ Sanskrit Grih, ‘ house,” Eddic

Gothic Goera “ to build” (V.D. 224) and Gard or “ Garth,” ?G.C,, 2, 17 and 3, 5; and cp. pp. 387-8.
