[Footnote LD: A name of Jupiter among the Druids in Gaul. Toland, in his _History of the Druids_ (p. 247), gives a list of the _Dii Gallorum_, beginning with _Taramis_ and ending with _Adraste_ or _Andate_. And, in an edition of Toland's _History_, edited with elaborate notes by R. Huddleston, schoolmaster, Lunan, and published at Montrose in 1814, I find the following, p. 357:--"Taramis, or _Taranis_, is the Gaelic _Taran_, or _Tharan_, _i.e._ 'thunder.' This god is the same with the Grecian _Zeus_, or the Roman _Jupiter_. By this deity the Celts understood _Baal_. _Taranis_, or _Tharanis_, is sometimes written _Tanaris_, or _Thanaris_, which bears a great affinity to the English _thunder_, the German _Donder_, and the Roman _Tonitru_. Lucan mentions him (lib. i.) in these words--

Et Taranis Scythicæ non mitior ara Dianæ.

From the Celts the Germans borrowed _Tharanis_, and by abbreviation formed their God _Thor_, whence _Thursday_, the same as the Roman _Dies Iovis_." Compare Southey's _Book of the Church_, vol. i. p. 5.--ED.]

[Footnote LE: The same editor of Toland's book on the Druids, whose comment on Taranis is given in the previous note, writes thus of Adraste, or Andate, p. 359:--"Respecting this goddess there has been some difference of opinion. The Greeks seem to have considered her as _Nemesis_, or the goddess of revenge.... There can be little doubt that the goddess here meant is the Phœnician _Ashtaroth_, or _Astarte_, _i.e._ 'the moon.'" See Dio Cassius, i. 64.--ED.]
