Leaves From the History of Welsh Nonconformity in the Seventeenth Century

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Leaves From the History of Welsh Nonconformity in the Seventeenth Century: Being Chiefly the Autobiography of Richard Davies of Welshpool Quaker (1636-1708) The accompanying Autobiography has been in the main a reprint of the sixth English edition of 1825; the notes are almost wholly fresh matter, and some explanatory paragraphs are interspersed in the text. These may be recognised by the distance between the lines being slightly wider. In 1840, a Welsh edition was issued with the following title: "Hanes arghoeddiad, traifferthion gwasanaeth a theithiau yr hen was hwnw o eiddo yr Arglwydd, Richard Davies, yn cynnwys peth hanes am daeniad y gwirionedd yn Ngogledd Cymru wedi ei gyfieithu o´rchweched argraffiad yn Saesoneg." The few remaining copies of the edition were given away by the Recording Clerk of the modern Society of Friends about 1893, so that it is not now. in print. I may say, that, in issuing an eighth edition (the seventh English edition appeared in 1840) I have not sought to simply present an interesting piece of literature for the antiquarian. The importance of the subject matter lies in a different direction, yet I cannot expect the work to be fully valued by the general public on those grounds. It is only those who share Richard Davies religious convictions, and who would have to act to-day as he acted were they in similar circumstances, who will appreciate to the full the beauty and consistency of the worship, life and conversation he was concerned to promote both by example and word of mouth.
