Excerpt from Cardiff, Notes
For the sake of those happy days I have a genuine affection for Cardiff, and as I have so many friends living there, I feel that I can write with some knowledge, and certainly with some feeling of this City which I believe is destined in the near future to be even greater than it is to-day. These are days of change, and the old landmarks are soon blotted out so these notes may serve to remind some reader of a place or person already half forgotten, and yet worthy of remembrance. If I have accomplished this I shall have done all I set out to do.

These notes on the history, scenery and biography of the City of Cardiff, are written by one who is neither a native of the City, or even a dweller on its confines; but merely a friendly observer from the rival port of Newport. Still, I have pleasant memories of days spent inC ardiff, when with more youthful steps I trod its streets, and wandered in its pleasant by-ways. For the sake of those happy days I have a genuine affection for Cardiff, and as I have so many friends Hving there, I feel that I can write with some knowledge, and certainly with some feeH ng of this City which I beH eve is destined in the near future to be even greater than it is to-day. These are days of change, and the old landmarks are soon blotted out; so these notes may serve to remind some reader of a place or person already half forgotten, and yet worthy of remembrance. If I have accompH shed this I shall have done all I set out to do.
