Synopsis

This book presents an insightful history of Wales, a nation with a rich heritage and unique principles stemming from its Celtic roots. The author traces the Welsh people's origins to the Cimbri tribe and explores their early societal structure under the Druids, who emphasized the pursuit of truth and individual rights. The work delves into Wales's complex relationship with the Roman Empire and the subsequent introduction of Christianity, which further shaped the Welsh people's moral and religious outlook. The book also sheds light on Wales's struggles against Saxon invasions and the eventual establishment of a Welsh principality, highlighting the nation's resilience and determination to preserve its distinct identity. Throughout, the author emphasizes the Welsh people's unwavering commitment to liberty and human rights, which would later influence the development of democratic ideals in Britain and beyond. This book provides valuable insights into the history of a nation whose principles and struggles have had a profound impact on the course of Western civilization.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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. A midst 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.
