Note 214 — Chapter XVI · SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

Quoted by P. W. Joyce in A Social History of Ancient Ireland, 1903. This writer adds: “How much Ireland was richer than Britain in gold is well illustrated by the fact that while the total weight of the gold ornaments in the British Museum collected from England, Wales, and Scotland (excluding those from Ireland) is not more than 5 oz., those of the collection in the National Museum in Dublin weigh about 570 oz.”
