XXXI. Observations on the Alphabet of the Pagan Irish, and of the Age in which Finn and Ossin lived. By Col. Charles Vallancey
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
All the Irish seanaches or antiquaries have seriously asserted that their Pagan ancestors had the use of an alphabetical character, called Ogham, that was used, not as a cipher, but as an uniform alphabet, in which all matters relating to the state, and to religion, were recorded. Hence, in late ages, this character was improperly named the Druidical Oghamy, for Druidism was not the established religion of the Pagan Irish, as I shall explain to this Society at another time.
