Editorial note — The Legend of Glastonbury.—A. D. 62.

[Footnote 150: Insula Vitrea, the Roman and therefore the British name (by a slight corruption) of what was afterward called Glastonbury. Glas is the Celtic word for grayish blue, [Greek text] and enters into numerous local names in Ireland, Wales, and the Highlands. Its affinity with our word glass is probably more than a coincidence of sound, the ancient glass being mostly of the same neutral tint. Others derive the name of the place from the woad-plant, glaisn, which grows abundantly in this watered district.]
