[ 94 ] obliging than the Hamingia, or Gifta, a female deity, who, according to the pleafurC of her' mailer, could be transferred, lent, and given, to another, for the purpofe of operating in concert with the Genii of his own. Thus 'a conjunction, as Cicero calls it, was effected, and the perfon, whole tutelar fpirits had been re- cruited by a prince, fcorned all danger, and purfued with confidence the objeCl of an undertaking, however hazardous and difficult.

The Irijh claimed the veffel under the fanttion of the laws, which confifcated whatever they Jhould find on the Jhorc as a wreck. The barbarous cultom pradtiled by the ancients, according to which, thofe who had been unhappy enough to be wrecked on a foreign coall were taken prifoners, fold as Haves, and robbed of their property, is fully defcribed by the excellent lawyer Johan.

By our bell hiltoriaus we are informed, that the cullom which Hill prevails among the Turks and the Eaftern nations, of prefenting a cloth of honour to a perfom diftinguifhed by a fuperior rank, or perfonal abilities, has been common in the North of Europe : for Eathelred, king of England, in the year 1006, rewarded Gunlaug, an Icelandic poet, with a cloak of fcarlet, lined throughout with precious furs. Vide Gunlaug Ormltungu Saga, Copenhagen, 1776, 4to, p. 87. And Ha- rald Gormfon, the king of Denmark, honoured Gunnar, of Hlidarenda in the South of Iceland, with a magnificent fuit of cloaths, befides a pair of gloves embroidered with gold, a pair of garters with golden buttons at the end, and a hat manufactured in Ruffia. See Nialfaga, Copenhag. 1772, 4to, p. 46.

And as this fealt had originally been dedicated by our heathen anceltors to the fun, their fu- preme deity ; fo the Chriltians, for the purpofe of engaging the minds of their Ethnic brethren, ordered it fliould be celebrated in memory of the birth of Chrilt. 3 And
