Excerpt from On the Origin of the Celts the Dialects Extant of Their Language: Inaugural Dissertation for the Attainment of the Degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts, at the University of Rostock

Pliny speaks 4) Of the promontory of the Cim bri; and the peninsula of Jutland has been called Chersonesus Cimbrica without however it being proved, that the Cimbri ever inhabited it. It is most probable, that the Cimbri, who invaded Italy, were composed of mixed tribes both Teutonic and Celtic, for in their war with Marius, in the year 101 b. C., the description of their arms and the name of their chief Bojorix appear to designate them as Celtae They were always ready with arms in their hands to leave the country 7) and they extended their migrations to the most distant countries, where they usually settled, so that we find Celtic tribes in coun2 tries altogether opposed to each other in climate and geographical position.
