Probert, William, Translator. The Ancient Laws of Cambria: Containing the Institutional Triads of Dyvnwal Moelmud, the Laws of Howel the Good, Triadical Commentaries, Code of Education, and the Hunting Laws of Wales, to Which are Added, the Historical Triads of Britain. London: Sold by E. Williams, 1823. iv, 414 pp. Reprinted 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-564-5. Cloth. $110.* Inspired by the spirit of Romantic nationalism, Probert [1790-1870] published this fascinating compilation of ancient Welsh texts to "rouse the dormant spirit" of Cambria so it "may awake from the slumber of ages, shake off that darkness and false taste which Gothic barbarity and tyranny imposed upon her, and re-assume her ancient and splendid greatness" (Dedication). Its contents include the first English translation of the Laws of Howell the Good, which date to the ninth century and are considered by Probert to be the greatest intellectual achievement of medieval Wales. It also contains the first valuation of dogs in the British Isles. In addition to translations, Probert offers an intriguing argument that the trial by jury was not invented by Alfred the Great, but adopted from Dynvwal's Triads.

Where did the Aryans come from originally? Did they invade India? Or were they actually Indian invaders who colonized Greece? In India in Greece, E. Pococke explores the theory that the Aryans may have originally travelled from India to Greece, colonized the latter and influenced the culture there. Centuries later, they came back to India. Covering topics as diverse as the sources of the Hellenic Race, the colonization of Egypt and Palestine, the wars of the Grand Lama and the Bud'hist propaganda in Greece, the author tries to show that at some point in history, India and Greece were closely associated.
