Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cymry of '76: Or, Welshmen and Their Descendants of the American Revolution; An Address: With an Appendix, Containing Notes, Sketches, and Nomenclature of the Cymbri; To Which Is Added a Letter of Eminent Welshmen by Samuel Jenkins, Esq., And the a Brief Sketch of St. The plan of the following Address, with accompanying materials, was at first projected on a quite limited scale, and its subsequent execution imposed the necessity of close condensation; hence, little more could be done than to give the mere headings of the subjects discussed, forming to some extent, a sort of general key or text-book to Welsh History; and which others better learned, and with more leisure, may hereafter be enabled to trace out in full relief. Other daily occupation of the writer interfered, more or less, with the reduction of the varied and rich materials at hand into that compactness of form and system which was desirable. Nevertheless, many of the facts and views submitted, we trust, will be found novel and interesting to the general reader; and especially, so far as they go to elucidate the Ethnology of the Cymbrian tribes of Europe. Much confusion and error have prevailed in relation to this subject, attributable, we believe, chiefly to the circumstance, that those in many instances who have written on the races of Europe, failed to make themselves acquainted with the Cymbrian or Welsh language, and its kindred dialects. The part taken in the American Revolution by Welshmen and their descendants cannot fail, to sincerest the people of this country, and especially, those Cf Cambrian origin. The distinction attained by the Welsh and their descendants in the elevated walks of Theology, Poetry, Government, Arts and Sciences, cannot prove otherwise than interesting to those of the Cymry race in every land.
