Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cambrian Quarterly Magazine and Celtic Repertory, 1829, Vol. 1 Efforts have, from time to time. Been made to preserve and bring into notice the valuable relics of Welsh genius, which, admired and prized as they are by the studious pf our countrymen, are still, for tho'cmost part, as utterly unknown to English readers as if they had no existence; and, though these efforts have been at tended with small success, as far as publicity is concerned, yet the zealous individuals, who, with little support from their own nation, and no encouragement from the literati of England, devoted their time and fortunes to the patriotic object, have at least been the meanspf preserving, for a more auspicious opportunity, treasures that must otherwise have been irretrievably lost.
