No marks can be plainer, so there is noother iland (those of Faroe and Iceland excepted)but the northwêst Brittish ilands, between theCronian and the Atlantic ocean, as every oneknows that has once look'd into a map; whichexpres situation of the Hyperborean iland, togetherwith its being said by Diodorus to ly beyondthe Gallic regions towards the north, or the Bear,the frequent use of theharp there, and the worshipof Apollo in around temple, amounts I thinkto as full a proof as any thing of this nature requires.Diodorus adds, in the place where I lastquoted him, that the Hyperborean city and temple* Scotumque yago mucrone secutus,Fregit Ilyperboreas lemis audacibus undas.De 3 Cons.
