PROSPECTUS.
This Society has been formed for the purpose of tran-
scribing and printing the numerous unpublished Hardie and
Historical Remains, still extant in the Principality and other
parts of the world, which have hitherto been allowed to con-
tinue in a state of obscurity, without any effective measures
having been adopted to lay their contents before the public,
and secure such valuable literary treasures from the various
accidents to which they are liable. In addition to the gene-
ral decay, which from their perishable nature these venerable
relics have been for ages undergoing, within a short space of
time whole collections have been destroyed by fire, and of
those copies distributed throughout the country, numbers
which are known to have existed a few years ugo are no
where to be found.
Besides the interest which these ancient documents pos-
sess, as objects of antiquarian curiosity, and as contributing
to ie elucidation of British History, they have claims to at-
tention of a far more general character, as being intimately
connected with the origin and progress of modern European
Literature; for it is among the legends and traditions of the
Welsh that those materials are to be found, which supplied
the nations of the Continent with the earliest subjects of
composition, and produced those highly imaginative works,
which continue to exercise so powerful an influence to the
present day.
A great body of Historical knowledge, from the thirteenth
to the fifteenth centuries, is contained in the unpublished
Writings of Wales during the wars of the Rival Roses, and
at least as far down as the year 1500. From these documents,
a very intimate acquaintance with the state of society during
the above period may be gained. The Welsh Bards were the
Chroniclers of the times in which they lived, and their Poems
are chiefly addressed to the leading men of the day. Besides
Poetry there is still existing an immense collection of Prose,
both Historical and Legendary.
The mode of proceeding adopted by the Society is, so far
as its pecuniary means admit, to procure Copies of the most
important Ancient MSS. relating to Wales, and to publish
the same with Notes and Illustrations, accompanied by Eng-
lish Translations. The Publications are to appear at such
intervals as may be convenient, in Parts not exceeding One
Guinea each Volume to Subscribers, to be paid for on de-
livery ; such Volumes to be sold to Non-Subscribers at an
advanced Price.

The Society began to make known its views in 1837, under
the patronage of His late Majesty, William the Fourth,
whose death for a time caused a delay in its progress, but
Her present Majesty Queen Victoria, having graciously ap-
proved of its object, and become its Patroness, it once more
appealed in 1838, to the well known patriotism and gene-
rosity of the British Public, for the aid necessary to accom-
plish its undertakings. As soon as adequate funds were pro-
vided, the Society commenced its labours in January, 1839,
by procuring from the Library of Jesus College, Oxford, a
transcript of that valuable Manuscript relating to Welsh
llistory, called Lljlfr Llandilf, or Libel' Landavensis, which
has since been collated with another MS. Copy of the same
Work in the llengwrt Library ; it is now in the Press, and
will speedily be published, accompanied by English Trans-
lations and Notes, by the Rev. W. J. Rees, M.A. of Casob,
and illustrated with several Plates and Fac Similes. The
above Work would have been long since before the Public,
but for the unavoidable delay occasioned by the sudden and
much lamented death of its former learned Editor, the Rev.
Professor Rees. Transcripts of other valuable MSS. are in
a state of forwardness, which the Society hopes, on collect-
ing sufficient Funds, to publish without delay.
Donations and Annual Subscriptions, together with Orders
for Copies of the Works, are respectfully requested to be
forwatded to the Honorary Secretary, the Rev. J. Evans,
Llanover Vicarage, Abergavenny. Subscribers' Names and
Orders for Copies of the Works will also be received by the
Publisher, W. Rees, Llandovery.

pun Lost DAYS.—Bradley, astronomer royal, had a con-
siderable share in the assimilation of the British Calendar to
that of other nations. Lord Chesterfield ,was the original
promoter of this measure,.ivhich was carried in 1751; The
following curious anecdote happily illustrates the presump-
tion and ignorance of the snob in those days :—Lord Ches-
terfield took pains, in the periodicals of the day, to prepare
the minds of the public for the change • but he found it
much easier to prevail with the legislature than to reconcile
the great mass of the people to the abandonment of their in-
veterate habits. When Lord Macclesfield's son stood the
great contested election for Oxfordshire, in 1754, one of the
most vehement cries raised by the mob against him was
" Give us back the eleven days we have been robbed of"—
(the reader will recollect that Hogarth introduces this in his
" Election Feast") ; and several years after, when Bradley,
worn down by his labours in the cause of science, was sink-
ing under the disease which closed his mortal career, many
of the common people attributed his sufferings to a judgment
from Heaven, for his having been instrumental in what they
considered to have been so impious an undertaking:—Edin-
burgh Review.

GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE HINfALANA.—Many of
the mountains around Scalia, which are the mere vassals of
the mighty 'limala, would be the boast of other countries—
as Wartoo or Huttoo, 10,673 feet ; Jungala, between 10,000
and 11,000 feet ; the larger Shallee, 9,623 feet; the Choor
I'ahar, 12,149 feet ; and Jukkoo, 8,120 feet. Over these the
snowy range extends from N. 30 deg. W. to N: 70 deg. E.;
embracing consequently an angle of 100 degrees. The gene-
ral appearance of this mass of snow is that of a wide undula-
ting plain, from which peaks arise in every imaginable shape.
Their general height is from 16,203 to 25,749 feet, from 1,000
to 10,000 feet of which is covered with eternal whiteness, the
disputed line of perpetual snow on the southern side of this
first high chain being 15,000 feet. Between these peaks
are the passes which lead into Koonawar and Chinese Tar-
tary, the principal of which are those nearest to us,—as the
Shatool, 15,555 feet ; the Yoosoo, 15,877 feet ; and the Boor-
endo, 15,171 feet. This first barrier, however, is but the
screen to other assemblages of higher mountains,
which again
are still the inferiors of the world-like bulwarks on the le
bank of the Indus, from whence they slope to the Steppes os
Tartary, and are at length lost in the immeasurable desert o:
Cobi, and the countless marshes of Siberia. The summits cn
this highest range have been estimated upon good grounds b)
my most adventurous and intelligent friends J. G. Gerard
and A. Gerard, who alone have explored may portions of these
wild recesses, to rise to the enormous elevation of 30,000
feet. Within the towering bounds, the general appearance of
the region is mournful and barren. There, surrounded by
the most gigantic
pinnacle of the universe, sublimity sits fet-
tered to desolation. Is awes the mind.—Llopd's Journey fo
the ilirnakyas.
