    “To properly appreciate this great work, one of those that most honors contemporary scholarship, it is important to adopt the author’s own perspective and remember that Mr. de Jubainville’s primary objective is the Celtic race, its origins, and its relations with other populations of all origins who have inhabited Europe. It was in order to write a history of the Gauls that Mr. de Jubainville first undertook this research on the ethnography of Europe before the Gauls. […] Mr. d’Arbois de Jubainville is reprinting, “with additions,” the book he published twelve years ago, which achieved such well-deserved success in the scholarly world.” Besides considerable improvements in form, such as the addition of summaries, the subdivision of chapters into paragraphs, and the full citation of all the ancient texts to which the first edition merely referred, the author has modified his doctrine on several points; he has made some deletions and, “above all,” he says, “often replaced the assertions of the first edition with doubtful statements.” While intending to take into account recent work on the origins of European populations, he has systematically left out prehistoric archaeology: “This is not,” he adds, “the effect of disdain, but simply an admission of my incompetence.” Finally, as important additions, we will especially mention a dissertation on Etruscan chronology and the chapter entitled: The Ligurians in the Myth of Heracles. » (Ernest Babelon, Bibliothèque de l'école des chartes, t. 50/1889, p. 584 et seq.).
