       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.
