LIST OF WORKS RELATING TO

DRUIDS AND DRUIDISM

COMPILED BY GEORGE F. BLACK, PH.D.

The following list of works relating to Druids and Druidism comprises not only what is in The New York Public Library on the subject, but also titles gathered from other trustworthy sources. The aim has been to make a fairly complete list of works on the subject, and it is believed that few titles of any importance have been overlooked. The works which are in The New York Public Library have the class-mark added at the end of the title all others are to be understood as being not at present in the Library collection. Ref. erences to works on "Stone circles," etc., erroneously called "Druid circles" by unscientific writers are omitted. These stone circles are of a much earlier date than the Druids.
