Book Description
Excerpt from Rev. Morgan John Rhys: The Welsh Baptist Hero of Civil and Religious Liberty of the 18th Century A few years ago I received a note from the Rev. J. Spinther James, M. A., Llandudno, North Wales, author Of The, Ancient Welsh Church, The Welsh Baptists, &c &c., requesting me to gather all I could Of the history of Morgan John Rhys, and if possible to get a sample Of his hand writing. This prompted me to do all that I could to meet the above request. I found that I had some of his history already in my possession in the Literary Essays ofrev. L. Edwards, D. D., of Bala, and also in Seren Gomer, by Rev. Thomas Lewis, Of New port, Wales. And in the Minutes of the Indiana Baptist Association. By Mr. J. F. Barnes; but still I did not have what I wanted and needed. In September, 1898. I wrote a note of inquiry to Rev. Robert Lowry, D. D., Plainfield, New Jersey. He directed me to Mr. B. O. Loxley, Of Philadelphia, and Wm J. Rhees, Esq Of the Smithsonian Institute. Washington, D. C. The latter is a grandson of Morgan J. Rhys, 'and it is to him that I am indebted for all the materials of his grandfather found in this book, and for the sample Of his hand writing, and for the family records on the Rhees and Loxley Side. The Lowry record was sent me by Dr Robert Lowry. I do not profess to have exhausted the materials or the historv of M. J. R, but I have simply gathered these few facts and materials as a tribute of respect to the memory of one who deserves to be perpetuated in history as the hero Of liberty in the 18th century. Lloubtless after this has appeared Others will prep are a more elaborate and worthy history of this great and noble man. Rev. H. G, Weston, D. D., L. L. D., and M r. Robert P. Bliss, of Crozer Theological Seminary, will please accept my thanks for the loan Of the Altar Of Peace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

English Romanticism and the Celtic World
Author: Gerard Carruthers
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139435949
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
English Romanticism and the Celtic World explores the way in which British Romantic writers responded to the national and cultural identities of the 'four nations' England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The essays collected here, by specialists in the field, interrogate the cultural centres as well as the peripheries of Romanticism, and the interactions between these. They underline 'Celticism' as an emergent strand of cultural ethnicity during the eighteenth century, examining the constructions of Celticness and Britishness in the Romantic period, including the ways in which the 'Celtic' countries viewed themselves in the light of Romanticism. Other topics include the development of Welsh antiquarianism, the Ossian controversy, Irish nationalism, Celtic landscapes, Romantic form and Orientalism. The collection covers writing by Blake, Wordsworth, Scott, Byron and Shelley, and will be of interest to scholars of Romanticism and Celtic studies.

Wales, the Welsh and the Making of America
Author: Vivienne Sanders
Publisher: University of Wales Press
ISBN: 1786837919
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
In 1971, Californian congressman Thomas M. Rees told the US House of Representatives that ‘very little has been written of what the Welsh have contributed in all walks of life in the shaping of American history’. This book is the first systematic attempt to both recount and evaluate the considerable yet undervalued contribution made by Welsh immigrants and their immediate descendants to the development of the United States. Their lives and achievements are set within a narrative outline of American history that emphasises the Welsh influence upon the colonists’ rejection of British rule, and upon the establishment, expansion and industrialisation of the new American nation. This book covers both the famous and the unsung who worked and fought to acquire greater prosperity and freedom for themselves and for their nation.
