A Prize Essay on the Character of the Welsh as a Nation,
in the Present Age. By the Bev. W. JONES.—London :
Simpkin and Marshall ; Hughec, St. Martin's le Grand.
This is one of the productions called forth by the late Royal
s of Welsh Bards, held in this town.
eresting quotations from the I It will be read with interest by the natives of the Principa-

and by all who wish to form a correct opinion of the
actual state of society in that romantic part of the British
-;re. English travellers have described the beauties of
--pointed out its druidical remains—and detailed

some of its legendary tales; but the author of this essay, be-

ing a native, and intimately acquainted with the reiative po-
sition of the various classes of its inhabitants, and with habits
and customs which be, beyond the glance of mere visitors, has
with a candour and honesty characteristic of an independent
mind, drawn aside the veil, and exposed to view many fea-
..

tures of Welsh character hitherto unknown to Englishmen.
The work abounds with sketches of the dead and of the
living, illustrative of the various points which the author
considers it necessary to explain on presenting to the public
Welsh nation. Some of these we shall
hereafter transfer to our pages. And, in concluding this
short notice, we can only say to our English friends that we
highly recommend the perusal of the work ; and to our
Welsh readers, that we cannot suppose that any Welshman

can rest satisfied without possessing a volume so replete
with information, statistics, and details on Welsh topics
nowhere else to be met with.
