NOTICE.

THESE letters are offered to the public in a very imperfect form, because the author has been incessantly engaged in the laborious duties and cares of life from a very early period. But he has sought for knowledge of every kind, nevertheless. Amidst such constant engagement he never found time to study grammar or the rules of composition. On these heads, therefore, the work will be open to some objections, but as to the facts and deductions he feels confident that few objections can be justly raised. They have already been subjected to the ordeal of a critical examination by learned Welshmen in his native land; men possessing every advantage from their knowledge of Welsh history to judge of their correctness. By them these letters are considered to be the most correct in the statement of facts, as well as in the deductions drawn from these facts, of any work ever written on the sub

ject. Should the learned feel any dissatisfaction in the composition as to order and language, they need be under no apprehensions as to the facts and deductions; these after all are the great considerations in the study of history.
