* laid.
   This was the ancient method of burying, whether heroes or
   traitors; the heap of stones being designed to perpetuate the
   memory of the event, whether good or bad.  The Arabs in
   general make use of no other monument than a heap of stones
   over a grave.  Thus, in an Arabic poem, it is related, that
   Hatim the father, and Adi the grandfather of Kais, having been
   murdered, at a time before Kais was capable of reflection, his
   mother kept it a profound secret; and in order to guard him
   against having any suspicion, she collected a parcel of stone
   on two hillocks in the neighbourhood, and told her son that
   the one was the grave of his father, and the other of his
   grandfather.  The ancient cairns in Ireland and Scotland, and
   the tumuli in England, are of this kind.
