This religious observance towards rude stones is one of the most ancient and universal of all customs.

Traces of it are to be found in almost all, and especially in these Northern nations; and to this day, in Lapland, where heathenism is not yet entirely extirpated, their chief divinity, which they call _Storjunkare,_ is nothing more than a rude stone.[12] Some writers among the moderns, because the Druids ordinarily made no use of images in their worship, have given into an opinion that their religion was founded on the unity of the Godhead.

But this is no just consequence.

The spirituality of the idea, admitting their idea to have been spiritual, does not infer the unity of the object.

All the ancient authors who speak of this order agree, that, besides those great and more distinguishing objects of their worship already mentioned they had gods answerable to those adored by the Romans.
