Excerpt from A Welsh Family From the Beginning of the 18th CenturyI have been able to make some additions and correo tions to the history of the Welsh Family. For the account of the district of Llangynwyd, from which they sprang, I am indebted to a very interesting work written by Mr. Evans of Llangynwyd, to whom my warm thanks are due. His history of Llangynwyd is rich in carefully collected facts which throw great light on the material and moral development of the people of that part of South Wales. I am indebted to Mr. Evans also for the introduction to Mr. Thomas of Cardiff, the accomplished artist, who has made the sketch of the old house at Tynton for me. It is a faithful representation of it in its present somewhat depressed condition, shorn of its wing, and deprived of some of its windows. The beauty of the situation in which it stands is clearly indicated. My cousin, George Ashburner (a great-grandson of George Cadogan Morgan) has converted some rough sketches made by me very long ago, into the drawings of Llandaff Cathe dral and the old house at Bridgend, which are repro duced in this book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
