FOOTNOTES.
[1] _Caesar_ says, that several brothers, or a father and his sons, would have but one wife among them. _Solinus_, indeed, says that the women in Thule were common, the king having a free choice; and _Dio_ says the Caledonians had wives in common; yet these a.s.sertions may well be disputed. _Strabo_ describes the Irish as extremely gross in this matter; _O'Conner_ says polygamy was permitted; and _Derrick_ tells us they exchanged wives once or twice a year; while _Campion_ says they only married for a year and a day, sending their wives home again for any slight offense.--_Logan's Scottish Gael_, 5th Am. ed., p. 472.
