Book Description
Excerpt from Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1872, Vol. 3: The Journal of the Cambrian Archaeological AssociationMr. Barnwell's notes on the South Wales cromlechs, which constitute a befitting sequel to his article on those of North Wales in the volume for 1869, may be regarded as exhaustive as to their original structure and intention, so far as our present knowledge of these monuments enables us to form a conclusive opinion.For many other articles which enrich this volume, members are indebted to the same pen.In the essay on Coelbren y Beirdd, the author of the Literature of the Kym'ry sets at rest the long de bated question of the origin and antiquity of these characters, in the authenticity of which many were for a time induced to believe. Mr. Stephens promises further papers on the creations of the Chair of Gla morgan, the great literary manufactory to which this mysterious alphabet owes its existence.Although much has been done by the Association during a period of more than a quarter of a century towards recording, preserving, and illustrating the antiquities of the Principality and th scarcely necessary to remind members that much still remame to be accomplished, and that some branches of archaeology which are legitimately within the scope of the Society have been but very slightly touched upon in the pages of the Journal. It is, therefore, desirable that the new year should be entered upon with renewed vigour, and the active co-operation of all members is earnestly solicited.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
