[Gutenberg 51022] • Brittany

Provides background to the history of Brittany, particularly as it relates to emigration from Great Britain to "Lesser Britain," as the French province is sometimes referred to in English. Gives a picture of the ecclesiastical development, which according to the author was largely inspired by holy men from Wales and Ireland, as well as some basic information about monastic and church architecture. Also contains a chapter on the Pardons. In general, contains a good deal of folklore about the Bretons up to the year 1900, and from whence they have sprung. Lots of drawings and photographs and an index.
