Scythians, and thinks that Strabo alludes to tobacco in India. (See, for
the Scythians, the _Universal History_.) Logan, in his _Celtic Gaul_,
advances that smoking is of great antiquity in Britain. He says that
pipes of the Celts are frequently found, especially at Brannocktown, co.
Kildare, where in 1784 they were dug up in great numbers; that a
skeleton dug out of an ancient barrow, actually had a pipe sticking
between its teeth when found. (From _Anthol. Hibern._, i. 352.) Halloran
says Celtic pipes are found in the Bog of Cullen. In form, these pipes
were very similar to those in use at this day.

Eulia Effendi mentions having found a tobacco pipe, still in good
preservation, and retaining a smell of smoke, embeded in the wall of a
Grecian edifice more ancient than the birth of Mahomet. (_Med. Chir.
Rev._ 1840, p. 335.) This Dr. Cleland proves to be a lie(?). He proves
the same of Chardin, Bell of Antermony, Mr. Murray, Pallas, Rumphius,
Savary, &c.

Masson describes a "chillum," or smoking apparatus, found embedded in an
ancient wall in Beloochistan. (_Travels_, ii. 157.)

Dr. Yates saw amongst the paintings in a tomb at Thebes the
representation of a smoking party. (_Travels in Egypt_, ii. 412.)

There is an old tradition in the Greek Church, said to be recorded in
the works of the early Fathers, of the Devil making Noah drunk with
tobacco, &c. (Johnson's _Abyssinia_, vol. ii. p. 92.)

Nanah, the prophet of the Sikhs, was born 1419. Supposing him fifty when
he published his _Ordinances_, it would bring us to 1469, or 23 years
before the discovery of America by Columbus. In these _Ordinances_ he
