Oxford, Feb. 5.
_William Baxter._--I do not know whether William Baxter is authority for
anything. When you see a word quoted from one of the languages or
dialects which the moderns call Celtic, that word will very commonly be
found not to exist. When at a loss, quote Celtic. If W. Baxter says (see
No. 13. p. 195.) that _buarth papan_ means the sun's ox-stall, or, in
other words, that _papan_ means the sun, I should wish to know where
else such a name for that luminary, for or any thing else, may be met
with? I have not found any such thing.
