Dr. Roberts has since removed. An extract or two from the published adjudication may inter- est the reader. Essay "Welshmen as Civil, Political and Moral Factors in the formation and development of the United States Repub- lic" (In English). "The committee appointed by the Grand International Eis- teddfod of the World's Fair for the adjudication of essays on the above subject, would respectfully report, That the committee without the slightest suspicion of the identity of the writers, have read them with care, considered the merits of each and compared the two in the light of logical analysis, industry in collecting materials, honesty in the pre- sentation of facts, skill in historical and biographical writing, and in the mastery of good English composition." " " The competitors were Cambro-American and "William " Penn Rev. W. R. Evans, Gallia Furnace, Ohio, alias "Cam- bro-American," published his essay, as he says "By the recom- mendation of the learned adjudicators." For this work he found a ready market, and the adjudication pronounced it "a very creditable piece of composition, showing wide research, considerable acquaintance with certain departments of history." Of this work now offered to the public the adjudicators say : "The essay by 'William Penn' is a masterly piece of com- position, a treasure of valuable information, regarding Cambro Americans, and a real biographical encyclopedia of Welshmen, who have been factors in the formation and development of this country. The analysis is excellent. It is divided into two great historical periods recognized at once as having a well de- 4 PREFA CK. fined autonomy of their own. The first period extends from the settlement of the country to the adoption of the Federal * * * Constitution." "The second historical period extends from the adoption of the Federal Constitution to the present * * * time." "To fill up his analysis, the writer has used great industry, and downright devotion to the gathering of fresh and heretofore unfamiliar facts. He found access to archives not often frequented, and to books very rarely con- sulted. He has taken care to test his facts and to put them before the reader with skill and force." These gentlemen were pleased to add : "They would here recommend that the essay be printed un- der the supervision of the author, believing that it will prove a valuable contribution to Welsh literature. The demand for the book ought to be sufficiently great to bring a large amount of funds into the treasury of the Eisteddfod." " Had this suggestion been followed the Cymrodorion Society" of Chicago would not have realized the predicted en- richment of their treasury, for a terrible panic set in soon after the World's Fair. My fellow competitor went to press in 1894, and in October of that year wrote me thus: "It is a pity that your production is not published. If I had seen any move- ment in that direction I would not have published mine." After some delay the above named society voted the return of "the prize M.S. S.," both in prose and poetry, to their sev- " eral authors, ' trusting that they will be published. Accord- ingly the worthy Secretary of the International Eisteddfod " forwarded me this essay with condition." Furthermore, "William Penn" received a letter from Hon. Samuel Job, Pres- ident of the Executive Committee of this Eisteddfod, and President of its Board of Directors, saying: "I most heartily endorse the idea of returning your essay, especially as this will * * * hasten its publication. Your essay was pronounced to be one of the ablest productions of the great International Eisteddfod. It will have a very large sale." The author has waited long, but now feels constrained to publish this essay. Want of leisure, with the prevalence of our "hard times," con- PREFACE. 5 stitute the reasons for past delay. After more than five years' waiting, the author is at liberty, and "better times" are at hand. Meanwhile, diligent use of spare moments, and added opportunities for research, and a personal survey of historic spots of great interest, have served to enhance the worth of this essay. In its present form not only has it carried out the sug- gestions of the Adjudicators, but incorporated new matter and "up to date" items not found in the original M.S., of which the editor of the Minersville "Free Press" volunteers the re. mark, "A most able production, that will be prized especially by Welshmen wlierever found." At that time the author was a resident of Minersville, Schuylkill County, Pa., and the "Free Press" added: "When Ivor Jones received a Chicago paper announcing that a $600 prize had been awarded 'William Penn,' the wel- come news soon spread, and Mr. Edwards has been receiving the most hearty congratulations of all our people on winning the largest prize given to any individual competitor at the World's Fair International Eisteddfod last week." To readers who read Welsh, the following lines of the late leuan Ddu, i. e.. Rev. J. P. Harris, Nanticoke, Pa., published in the "Drych" soon after the Eisteddfod, will not be unwel- come: "Aeth Eben a phen y Ffair da ei waith Diw}-d a digellwair; Cerbyd, esmwyth gryd, sy'n grair* Yn gydwerth a dwy gadair.

This generous giving should be credited with whatever value may arise from the essays now published and offered to the public. Rev. W.

  • Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549
    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

  • The Celtic Revival in English Literature, 1760-1800
    ZOh. jU\j THE CELTIC REVIVAL IN ENGLISH LITERATURE LONDON : HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS The "Bard The Celtic Revival in English Literature 1760 — 1800 BY EDWARD D. SNYDER B.A. (Yale), Ph.D. (Harvard) CAMBRIDGE HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS 1923 COPYRIGHT, 1923 BY HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS PRINTED AT THE HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS CAMBRIDGE, MASS., U. S. A. PREFACE The wholesome tendency of modern scholarship to stop attempting a definition of romanticism and to turn instead to an intimate study of the pre-roman- tic poets, has led me to publish this volume, on which I have been intermittently engaged for several years. In selecting the approximate dates 1760 and 1800 for the limits, I have been more arbitrary in the later than in the earlier. The year 1760 has been selected because it marks, roughly speaking, the beginning of the Celtic Revival; whereas 1800, the end of the century, is little more than a con- venient place for breaking off a history that might have been continued, and may yet be continued, down to the present day. Even as the volume has been going through the press, I have found many new items from various obscure sources, and I am more than ever impressed with the fact that a collection of this sort can never be complete. I have made an effort, nevertheless, to show in detail what has been hastily sketched in countless histories of literature — the nature and extent of the Celtic Revival in the late eighteenth century. Most of the material here presented is now pub- lished for the first time.

It’s where the world’s first million pound deal was struck during the city’s industrial heyday (equivalent to over £100m today). Yet far from cherishing this building, Cardiff council proposes to demolish the main body of the building, keeping only the facades. If this happens, then the magnificent interior with its immense historical significance will be lost forever. This grade 2* listed building deserves better, and the views of the public need to be heard. The Council have been claiming for the past year that it is on the point of collapse. No works have been done, yet there is no apparent evidence that the building is about to collapse. It is questioned if Cardiff Council were able to use section 78 powers under the building act to progress their plans, and this needs to be investigated openly. So much of Cardiff Bay’s social and built heritage has already been destroyed; it seems inconceivable that more can be cast aside with cynical abandon. It’s unclear why the council refuses to see the value of restoring the Coal Exchange to protect this iconic building for the use and enjoyment of future generations.

    Editorial UR Autumnal Meeting will be held at Manchester on Wednesday, 16th October, at 4 p.m., in the Hall attached to Cavendish Church. Papers are expected from Professor OG. Lyon Turner, M.A., on '' Congregationalism and the Confessors of 1662" ; and from Mr. A. Peel, M.A., B.Litt., on some fruits of his researches into Elizabethan Puritanism. Our Annual Meeting was held on 8th May ; the attendance was meagre. The officers were unanimously reappointed, with thanks for past services; and the Rev. W. Pierce was associated with the secretariat, The rest of the proceedings were conversational, dealing with our future work and the best means of increasing our membership. We note with regret the decease of two of our oldest members; Rev. H. Shaw, of Urmston, who in 1901 read an instructive paper on the rise and growth of Congregationalism in Manchester ; and Mr. John Scamell, of Westbury, from whom we have more than once received interesting communications. The 250th Anniversary of the Act of Uniformity has been duly recognized by most ofthe churches which originated in the labours of the ejected ministers, and united commemorations are in pro­ spect. But it must have been felt by all who are old enough to remember the celebration of fifty years ago, that there has been no such enthusiasm as marked the Bicentenary in 1862. This, however, can excite no surprise. The Bicentenary followed close on a great religious revival ; and it was very properly used for the promotion of schemes of Church extension, which were then greatly needed. A few figures will shew how fruitful was the impulse thus generated.
