    H-France Review Volume 13 (2013) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 13 (November 2013), No. 177 Marion Löffler, ed., Welsh Responses to the French Revolution: Press and Public Discourse 1789-1802. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2012. xx + 332 pp. Maps, figures, notes, bibliography, and index. $40.00 U.S. (pb). ISBN 978-0-7083-2489-9. Review by Chris Evans, University of South Wales. There were few parts of the world that were not affected by the French Revolution. It is a truism to say so. But is the reaction of every last part of the globe to the events in France worth registering? Why, in particular, should the Welsh response be important? Wales, after all, was a poor and politically insignificant place at the end of the eighteenth century. Its rain-soaked mountains sustained a threadbare agriculture and a correspondingly meager population. Its inhabitants were dismissed as uncouth by their English neighbors or derided as simpletons. There was little to mark Wales out. As an administrative unit Wales simply didn’t exist. Its twelve counties had been assimilated into England in the sixteenth century. Unlike Scotland, Wales had no distinct institutional presence. Scotland had its own national church, its own legal system and its own universities. Wales had none. Culturally, on the other hand, Wales was a singular place. The Welsh language was spoken far more extensively than English, literary practices departed sharply from English forms, and growing numbers of Welsh men and women refused to worship in the established Anglican Church, preferring more militant or theologically heterodox forms of Protestantism.

The practice seems to have come to an end in the early 20th century, when it was forbidden by a police inspector as a form of begging.

    Where Cymry United, Delighted Appear’: the Society of Ancient Britons and the Celebration of St David’S Day in London, 1715–1815

    56 ‘WHERE CYMRY UNITED, DELIGHTED APPEAR’: THE SOCIETY OF ANCIENT BRITONS AND THE CELEBRATION OF ST DAVID’S DAY IN LONDON, 1715–1815 Rhys Kaminski-Jones Abstract The Honourable and Loyal Society of Ancient Britons (f. 1715) are credited with inaugurating a tradition of Welsh associational life in London. However, their lasting significance has tended to be downplayed when compared to that of later London-Welsh groups. Using a wide range of literary and historical evidence – particularly the under-used reports of the society’s activities in the metropolitan and Welsh press – this article reassesses their position in the history of Welsh patriotic identity. Drawing attention to their visibility on London’s streets, their creation of an imagined role for Wales in the British public sphere, and their eventual influence on the celebration of St David’s Day in Wales itself, the article argues that their metropolitan location and increasing anglicization did not prevent them from remaining a major part of the much-discussed ‘Eighteenth Century Renaissance’. Welsh identity in the early eighteenth century is generally believed to have had rather a low profile. Prys Morgan has argued influentially that many distinctive aspects of Welsh culture were changing or disappearing by the end of the seventeenth century, and would require an ‘Eighteenth Century Renaissance’ – largely associated with the latter half of that century – in order to reinvent and reaffirm themselves.1 However, for anyone on the streets of central London on 1 March 1725, it would have been difficult to miss the distinctly un-reticent form of Welsh identity being promoted by the Loyal and Honourable Society of Ancient Britons (f.
