First words

At the National Eisteddfod of 1918, held at Neath, the Eisteddfod Association offered a prize of Fifty Pounds for the best work of original research, in Welsh or English, on any subject connected with Wales, in regard to its history, language, or literature.

Editorial note.

The period of the Puritan Revolution is one which makes a strong appeal to the modern Welshman, for he discerns in it the roots of the movementwhich has resulted in making Wales so largely Nonconformist.

Introduction.

The Propagation Act had for its primary cause the deficiencies of an ecclesiastical order which had failed to appreciate the inner spirit of the Protestant Reformation; it was made possible by the growth of Puritan sentiment both in Wales and England and by the triumph of the Puritan armies in the Civil War; the chief propagators were men who, through a forced sojourn in England, had come into contact with the fertile thought of a new liberty; and the Act itself was the final concession to Wales from a Parliament that had gradually come to recognise its unique condition and its especial claims.

Author's foreword.

Penry's suggestions in 1587 for reform of the spiritual condition of Wales were to a great extent adopted after a lapse of sixty years; his terrible indictment of the existing state of things fell upon deaf ears.

I. The old order.
