Excerpt from The Doom of Colyn Dolphyn: A Poem, With Notes Illustrative of Various Traditions of Glamorganshire The subjects that occupy the first Canto of this Poem, were selected for the purposes of elucidating Ancient British Mythologies, and introducing to public notice, the superstitions that have prevailed in the Principality of Wales. Such topics may not, by some, be deemed worthy of consideration, but the testimonies of most learned writers concur in asserting that the cre dulities, ceremonies, and rites of nations, present strong evidences of their comparative progression in the arts and sciences of social order, and of literature. Wales, so fertile in her records, and oral remains of ancient usages, has, hitherto, been almost entirely neglected by her Saxon neighbours - nor have her own sons rallied, in the best ardour of nationality, under the moul dering banner of her ancient lore.
