Excerpt from The Age of Owain Gwynedd: An Attempt at a Connected Account of the History of Wales From December, 1135, to November, 1170, to Which Are Added Several Appendices on the Chronology, &C., Of the Period It is published exactly as it was written, eleven years ago, for the Newport National Eisteddfod. An ideal history Of Wales is at present an impossibility. Up to the present no particular period has found its historian it is no doubt at present difficult to find men who are competent to deal with all the sources. Still, it is only when monographs on each particular period will have cleared the way, that a complete history of the country will be justified.
