Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Our God is a big man: a tall man much higher than the highest chapel in Wales and broader than the broadest chapel. For the promised day that He comes to deliver us a sermon we shall have made a hole in the roof and taken down a wall. Our God has a long, white beard, and he is not unlike the Father Christmas of picture-books. Often he lies on his stomach on Heaven's floor, an eye at one of his myriads of peepholes, watching that we keep his laws. Our God wears a frock coat, a starched linen collar and black necktie, and a silk hat, and on the Sabbath he preaches to the congregation of Heaven. Heaven is a Welsh chapel; but its pulpit is of gold, and its walls, pews, floor, roof, harmonium, and its clock—which marks the days of the month as well as the hours of the day—are of glass. The inhabitants are clothed in the white shirts in which they were buried and in which they arose at the Call; and the language of God and his angels and of the Company of Prophets is Welsh, that being the language spoken in the Garden of Eden and by Jacob, Moses, Abraham, and Elijah. Wales is Heaven on earth, and every Welsh chapel is a little Heaven; and God has favored us greatly by choosing to rule over us preachers who are fashioned in his likeness and who are without spot or blemish. Every Welsh child knows that the preacher is next to God; "I am the Big Man's photograph," the preacher shouts; and the child is brought up in the fear of the preacher. Jealous of his trust, the preacher has made rules for the salvation of our bodies and souls. Temptations such as art, drama, dancing, and the study of folklore he has removed from our way. Those are vanities, which make men puffed up and vainglorious; and they are unsavory in the nostrils of the Big Man. And look you, the preacher asks, do they not cost money? Are they not time wasters? The capel needs your money, boys bach, that the light—the grand, religious light—shall shine in the pulpit. That is the lamp which burns throughout Wales. It keeps our feet from Church door and public house, and it guides us to the polling booth where we record our votes as the preacher has instructed us. Be the season never so hard and be men and women never so hungry, its flame does not wane and the oil in its vessel is not low. White cabbages and new potatoes, eggs and measures of corn, milk and butter and money we give to the preacher. We trim our few acres until our shoulders are crutched and the soil is in the crevices of our flesh that his estate shall be a glory unto God. We make for him a house which is as a mansion set amid hovels and for the building thereof the widow must set aside portions of her weekly old age pension. These things and many more we do, for forgiveness of sin is obtained by sacrifice. Such folk as hold back their offerings have their names proclaimed in the pulpit.

Excerpt from The Welsh People: Chapters on Their Origin, History, Laws, Language, Literature, and Characteristics In issuing a third edition of this book, we desire to say that we have tried to profit by the criticisms passed upon our work. We have not, however, deemed it expedient at present to enlarge its scope by dealing with topics to which it has been alleged, rightly or wrongly, we have not given sufficient space or attention. Errors which have been pointed out by reviewers or which we have ourselves discovered have been, we believe, duly corrected. We also wish to express our gratitude for the kindness with which these chapters have been received by all those who are interested in the past and present condition of the Welsh People.

Excerpt from A Popular History of the Ancient Britons or the Welsh People: From the Earliest Times to the End of the Nineteenth Century It is generally admitted that the Celtic race is more emotional, poetic, and religious than the anglo-saxons. This applies to the Brythonic or Cymric branch of the race. The tendency to the apprehension of the spiritual, the eternal, and the supernatural is conspicuous in the nature and history of this race. It would be impossible to write a history of this race without including the phenomena of religion. Accordingly the author has endeavoured to describe the earliest form of religion in Britain, including the Druidical, and the natural religion which the Ancient Britons maintained in common with the other nations of Europe. The early introduction of Christianity into Britain is brought under review. The native Church of Britain and its independence of Rome and Canterbury are described and traced through its long struggle from Augustine until the conquest under Edward I. In connection with the history of religion it would be impossible to pass over the origin and development of Nonconformity in Wales in comparatively modern times hence an account is given of the religious denominations among the Welsh people. This has been done with a due regard to historical fairness. Such as the book is, the author commends it to the perusal especially of Welshmen, and also of Englishmen. The manu script was completed nearly two years ago, and its publication was postponed owing to the attention of the public being absorbed in the war in South Africa. The author had not heard of any other work in preparation by other writers before he had finished his own work, otherwise he might not have entered upon his task.
