Scope and content

He has sent a letter to Mr Johns of Havod to announce the addressee's coming and on what business. He finds by the catalogue made by Evan Brydydd Hir that the Seabright collection contains chiefly old charters and hardly any poetry. He is quite delighted with the addressee's touches upon the bardic philosophy, in the Pump Tywarchen letter and his last. He has seen the Laws of Menu a good while ago. He thinks there never was a man of the name of Pythagoras. He is glad the addressee has explained 'Llawd' as he has done, but what was 'haint glas Lodwy', 'Dwy Lodwedd', &c .? (See No. 326, undated.) He wishes much to receive the addressee's account of the Bardic Meeting in time for the Register, in order to keep the subject alive; but his great wish is that the addressee would soon finish the History of the Bards of the isle of Britain. Endorsed: 'Bardism a Revelation.'.
