"Some Specimens of the Poetry of the Ancient Welsh Bards" is a collection of poems by the Welsh literature critic Evan Evans. Evans offers the poems with explanatory notes on the historical passages, and a short account of men and places mentioned by the bards. They were sourced from a manuscript of the learned Dr. Davies, author of the Welsh Dictionary, which he had transcribed from an ancient volume which was written, partly in Edward the Second and Third's times, and partly in Henry the Fifth's, containing the works of all the Bards from the Conquest to the death of Llewelyn, the famed Welsh Ruler.

Excerpt from Some Specimens of the Poetry of the Ancient Welsh Bards: Translated Into English, With Explanatory Notes on the Historical Passages, and a Short Account of Men and Places Mentioned by the Bards The following poems, from among many others of greater length, and of equal merit, were taken from a manuscript of the learned Dr. Davies, author of the Dictionary, which he had transcribed from an ancient vel lom ms. Which was wrote, partly in Edward the Second and Third's time, and partly in Henry the Fifth's, containing the works of all the Bards from the Conquest to the death of Llewelyn, the last prince of the British line. This is a noble treasure, and very rare to be met with for Edward the First ordered all our Bards, and their works, to be destroyed, as is attested by Sir John Wynne of Gwydir, in the history be compiled of his ancestors at Carnarvon. What remained of their works were conveyed in his time to the Exchequer, where he complains they lay in great confusion, when he had occasion to consult them. As to the translation, I have endeavoured to render the sense of the Bards faithfully, without confining myself to too servile a version; nor have I, on the other hand, taken liberty to wander much from the originals unless where I saw it absolutely necessary, on account of the different phraseology and idiom of language. If this small collection has the good fortune to merit the attention of the public, I may, in some future time, if God permit me life and health, proceed to translate other select pieces from the same manuscript. The poems, in the original, have great merit; and if there is none in the translation of this specimen, it must be owing entirely to my inability to do the Bards justice. I am not the only person who admires them: men of the greatest sense and learning in Wales do the same. It must be owned, that it is an arduous task to bring them to make any tolerable figure in a prose translation but those who have any candour, will make allowances. What was said of poetry in general by one of the wits, that it is but Prose run mad, may very justly be applied to our Bards in particular: for there are not such extravagant ights in any poetic compositions, except it be in the Eastern, to which, as far as I can judge by the few translated specimens I have seen, they bear a great resemblance.

Excerpt from Specimens of the British Poets: With Biographical and Critical Notices and an Essay on English Poetry With this, the Second Edition of these Specimens, their original Editor has had nothing to do, being prevented by 'other engagements from resuming the task of revising them. Various inaccuracies of the former edition have been removed in this, - some silently, for it had been burdening the book with use less matter to have retained them in the text, and pointed them out in a note, -while others, that entangled a thought or gave weight to it, have been al lowed to stand, but not without notes to stop the perpetuity of the error. With many of the now-discovered inaccuracies of the work in dates and mere minutiae, Mr. Campbell is not properly chargeable: some may be laid to the excursive nature of his task; others to the imperfect information of those days compared with ours, for we cannot have lived two-and-twenty years without important additions to our literary facts. Mr. Campbell's excellent taste in the selection of these Specimens has never been disputed; and of his Critical Disquisitions the best eulogy is in the fact that no work of any importance on our literary history has been written since they were published, without commendatory references to them; in particular, that they have been corrected and appealed to by Lord Byron, applaudingly quoted by Sir Walter Scott, and frequently cited and referred to by Mr. Hallam.
