Description:Excerpt from Iolo Manuscripts The Collection from which the MSS. contained in this Volume were selected, was made about the beginning of the present century, by Edward Williams the Bard, better known as Iolo Morganwg, with the intention of forming a continuation of the Myfyrian Archaiology, and subsequently proposed as materials for a History of Wales. On his death, which took place in 1827, at the advanced age of 82, his MS. Collection became the property of his son, the late Taliesin Williams, known as Taliesin ab Iolo, or Ab Iolo; who, as one of the Editors of the Welsh MSS. Society, undertook to make a Selection from the Manuscripts, and to conduct it through the press, with English Translations, and Explanatory Notes. Having proceeded with the printing of the Work as far as page 494, his editorial labours were arrested by illness, which terminated in his death on February 16th, 1847, at the age of 59. In consequence of this much lamented event, the Society found it necessary to engage the assistance of other hands, in order to complete the publication. And those Editors, in submitting the present Volume to the public, wish to have it understood, that they do not concur with their predecessor in the whole of the opinions he has advanced in his Notes. For instance, his remarks on Welsh Prosody do not appear to be altogether well founded, as they believe that the resemblance suggested, by Dr. Davies, between the Welsh and Latin Metres, cannot be satisfactorily traced beyond the limits placed by that learned Antiquary, which was merely observable with regard to the Latin Poetry of the middle ages, without referring to that Classic origin.
