If the generality of the Celtic nations were in the habit of indulging upon all great occasions in the pleasures of eating and drinking, as it is asserted they were, their feasts must have often ended in dancing, if not in the contentions of in toxication. At a later period, refinement might introduce bards, who sung or recited the favourite exploits of their wars whether they had dances appropriated to martial purposes, is doubtful at least, though probable: a rude harp is, however, assigned them by antient authors.'

Book Description
Published in 1811, this three-volume second edition gives a typically personal and often light-hearted account of the history and customs of Malcolm's adopted city. He ponders on the diet and dress of the ancient Britons and suggests that the Great Fire of London was state-sanctioned to rid the city of plague.
