|A NEW HISTORY OF WALES.
A NEW HISTORY OF WALES. (BY GWION BACH.] King Arthur, so the legend runs, received his education on the shores of B&la Lake. History repeats itself, and Bala Lake, in our century, has been the cradle of many modern Arthurs. It has been the fountain whence has flown many strong and mighty rivers, watering the hungry valleys of the Principality. In that classic spot lived and laboured and died Thomas Charles, Lewis Edwards, John Parry, John Peters, and many other celossal intellect. The influence of the B3I& teachers on the intellectual development of Wales, no pen can ever adequately describe. In our day Thomas Ellis has infused new ideas into the political thought of our country. He, too, comes from the Bala region.) And perhaps a more potent and bene- ficent a personality even than his is O. M. Edwards, also a Bala man. O.M. as his friends call him, has done wonders in fanning the flame of the literary revival. His magazines (he edits four of them) have quickened the spirit of patriotism in countless hearts. Now he has given us a new his- tory of Wales, entitled "Hanes Cymru Rhan I. Hyd farwolaeth Gruflydd ab Llywelyn yn 1063." (Caernarfon Swyddfa'r Cymru." is 6c). O.K." is a unique personality. He and I were fellow-students atJAberystwyth" Two passions held sway over him in those days: a passion for history, and a passion for Wales. Brought up in Bala, and having sat at the feet of Lewis Edwards, he knew the best life and the best thought of Wales from the inside. One of his great ideas then was to write the history of Welsh Calvinistic Method- ism. Probably he is not so ardent a Methodist now as he was in those days. Not that he loves Methodism less, but that he loves Wales more. Oxford has possibly widened his sympathies in this respect. History was his favourite subject. How he devoured Gardner's volumes on the Commonwealth as they appeared He would scarcely talk about anything else. Besides the ordinary routine work of the college he got through a tremendous amount of reading. Every Christmas time we had a con- versazione at the college, a somewhat flnnicking, sickly affair. Ou one occasion" O.,M." and myself were deputed to go to Nanteos, a country mansion in the neighbourhood, to request the loan of flowers and armorial bearings. I shall not soon forget the journey. We talked literature all the way. We were so much taken np by the subject that, wheM we arrived at Nanteos, we had almost forgotten whbt we were to ask for. I was simply amazed at the amount of reading my friend had got through. There was no brag. He would not pretend to have read an author which he hadn't. In fact he had rather an off-handed way of dealing with authors and books he had not perused; that is to say, he could not be got to discuss them at all. He was not the most popular man in the college. Hard readers of his type never are social favourites. He didn't play football, and if jou don't play foot- ball you have not the remotest chance of attaining popularity in school or college. So much the worse for football! 0 Once O.M," and I crossed swords at the de- bating society. The subject of debate was the perennial breach of promise question, and we led the way with papers." I pleaded earnestly for the rights of the female sect," and my oration drew tears from the eyes of the mathematical pro- fessor, whose presence with us that particular evening remains one of the unsolved mysteries of the college. May his shadow never grow less! O.M." slanged the women without mercy. To him breach of promise actions were nothing more or less than money-making dodges, and he de- nounced the reducing of love to a commercial factor. When the voting came he had a majority in that ungallant assembly. T.B." had been canvassing for him. "O.M." was one of the oracles of the debating society, though there were other speakers who passed him in eloquence. The most eloquent of all was Rees, the captain of the football team, son of Dr Rees, of Cefn. O.M. though not by any means a pet, was universally looked up to as per- haps the most cultured, and certainly the hardest worker amongst the students. He has always been a hard worker. Probably he works harder now than he ever did. Unremitting toil has re- duced him almost to a shadow. Tough and wiry as he is, he will break down, I fear, one of these days. But let us return to our mutton. This Hanes Cymnt" of his is one of the most readable books in the language. Every sentence is alive. There is none of that monotonous sing-song style affected by most writers of history. "O.M." could'nt write in that fashion if he tried. His Welsh is as beautiful as it is vigorous, as nervous as it is fresh, as pure as it is idiomatic. The general reader will peruse this book with delight from beginning to end. The preparation of it was an arduous task. The author was a pioneer, and had to make his way through the tangled forest as he went along. All the previous histories of Wales were mere compila- tions their authors did not bring the scientific method to the work. I do not say that all Mr Edwards facts and inferences are absolutely sound. Indeed, I am not entitled to offer an opinion on that point. We have only a few men who are- Rhys, Gwenogfryn, Silvan Evans, J. Morris Jones, J. E. Lloyd. What I do say is that Hanes Cymru is a charming book to read. For the sake of the thousands who will peruse it I can only hope its subject matter is scientifically accurate. The first inhabitant of this country was the Iberian, who is thus described:- Un byr ac egwan oedd ef; ac yr oedd ei bryd yn dywyll, a'i wallt a'i lygaid yn ddu; ei ben yn j hir ar ei gorff byr; ei dalcen yn gul, a'i en yn hir. Er eiddiled oedd, yr oedd bywyd rhyfedd ynddo; ac yr oedd eiddilwch ei gorff yn gwneyd ei enaid yn effro, ac yn fyw i weled ac i glywed ac i deimjo pob peth oddiallan. Yr oedd swn y mor a su gwynt y mynydd yn ei glustiau o hyd; ymhyf- rydai mewn prydferthwch lliw a melusder swn. Ogof y mynydd oedd ei gartref a'i fedd. Yn ddi- weddarach yn ei hanes, gwnai dy hir a bedd hir ar lun ogof-mynedfa hir gul ac ystafell yn ei phen draw. Cerrig nadd oedd ganddo'n oier rhyfel a heddweh ni wyddai pa fodd i weithio pres neu haiarn, ac afluniaidd iawn oedd ei ychydie: lestri pridd." Such was the Iberian, whose descendants are the aboriginal dwellers of Glamorganshire to-day. He came from the deserts of Arabia, travelling along the shores of the Mediterranean, and then crossing France and Spain. The Celt came next. The Celt was tall, strong, with round head, blue eyes, and red hair. He was more advancad in civilisation than the Iberian. His provincial home was Central Asia, and he crossed Europe by way of the Danube and the Rhine. When he met the Iberian in Britain there was a struggle far supre- macy. We know nothing of that contest. All we know is that in the matter of language the Celt carried the day. The Iberian tongue has dis- appeared. The Romans came, and with them history really begins. Then came the English hordes, utter Pagans and Philistines. Bitter and bloody were the battles fought. In that time flourished the hero subsequently magnified by the poets into King Arthur. He was one of those who led the Celts against the Pictish, Anglican, and Saxon barbarians. Then we come to the period of Maelgwyn Gwynedd. Maelgwyn subdued the whole of Wales under his Sway. and chased the remnants of Druidism out of the land. He left his monastery and his prayers to rule the country with a strong and mighty arm. The battle of Chester (613) is one of the landmarks of our history. It means the separation of the North of England, the ancient Strathclyde, from Wales. Two centuries later Rhodri Mawr fought Valiantly against thp incursions of the English into Wales, and Howel Dda gave us laws. Two hundred years after tnis Llewelyn ab Seisyllt rallied and organised the Welsh forces, and his son, Gruffydd, followed in his footsteps. Gruffydd was betrayed in 1063, and with this treacherous act the story is brought to a close. Three years later came the Normans, under William the Oenqneror. It is a story full of pathos. Noble struggles for unity and independence are marred and defeated by treachery. Jealousy and tribal feuds play havoc with the commonweal. At one moment, as we read, we are aglow with admiration of splendid heroism; the next we are overwhelmed with shame at the contemptible weakness of our traitors. Yet the story is one we ought to know. It should be drilled into our children in the elementary schools. Lecturers should debate upon it in our colleges. Our ignorance of our country's history .thf. W-ck^ sP°t, °5, our national 'scutsheon. This little book ot Mr Edwards' will help to obli- terate that blot, and it should, therefore, be given & ^t7^dCrSme in a11 Parts of the Principality. — Merthyr Times.
POLICE PROMOTION.
POLICE PROMOTION. Communication from the Home- Ofeee has been addressed to the Mayor of Swan- sea:- (( „ Whitehall, 6th November, lS9o. bra—lam directed by the Secretary of State to say that he has now before him the question of issuing his certificate of the efficiency of the Swansea Borough Police for the year 1894-95 and, before proceeding further towards decision on' that point, he desires to bring under the notice of the Watch Committee representations that have been made to him with regard to the system on which certain promotions in the Force have recently been made. He understands that the Watch Commit- tee, in March, 1894, agreed that officers entitled to pensions should not be promoted to a higher rank, and expressed the view that the men who were eatitled to full superannuation should be requested to retire. Notwithstanding this, he is informed that during the past year two officers have been promo- ted by the committee in contravention of this order, one from Inspector to Superintendent, and the other from Sergeant to Inspector. The latter, it is stated,had tendered his resignation in October, 1894, on the ground that, after 40 years' public service, he was unfit for further police duty, but that in the following March he was promoted to a vacancy occurring among the Inspectors. This officer was 54 years of age, while the other referred to was 59, and physically unequal to the duties of Superintendent. Both promotions are said to have been authorised against the express recommenda- tion of the Chief Officer of the Force. The Secretary of State understands that in June, 1891, the Watch Committee, by a special resolution, affirmed the principle that promotion from the rank of In- spector or Sergeant should be dependent on the different candidates' qualifications, and that ex- aminations have been held for the purpose of carrying out this important principle. It is alleged, however, that recent promotions have occasioned grave doubts as to the Committee's adherence to this view, and, having regard to the serious issue involved, he deems it necessary to draw your attention to the representations made to him, and to request the favour of your observa- tions thereon.—I am, sir, K. E. DIGBY."
