Excerpt from Old England, Vol. 1: A Pictorial Museum of Regal, Ecclesiastical, Baronial, Municipal, and Popular Antiquities
The furniture of the ancient halls and castles of England was for the most part peculiarly suited to the size and structure of the apartments in which it was placed. Much of it was of oak, boldly and richly carved, in a manner exceedingly appropriate to the beautiful Gothic style of the windows, the panelling of the walls, and the decorations of the mantel-pieces and ceilings. The massy sideboard, or court-cupboard, as it is sometimes called, is one of those grand pieces of old Gothic furniture, of which, besides the one at Warwick Castle represented in our coloured engraving, there are still many specimens remaining in the old baronial apartments of England.

It is especially the object of the Druids to inculcate this - that souls do not perish, but after death pass into other bodies and they consider that by this belief -more than any thing else men may be led to cast away the fear of death, and to become courageous. They discuss, moreover, many points concerning the heavenly bodies and their motion, the extent of the universe and the world, the na ture of things, the influence and ability of the immortal gods and they instruct the youth in these things.
