Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gwyneddion: Or an Account of the Royal Denbigh Eisteddfod, Held in September, 1828; Together With the Prize Essays and Poems; On the Subjects Proposed for Adjudication at That Meetings The month of September, of the year 1828, was a period peculiarly honourable to Gwynedd, and especially so to the Clwydian hills and vallies; and will be referred to by the sons of Cambria, with delight and exultation, as long as her language shall maintain its distinctive character, or minstrelsy and song retain their magical influence in elevating the soul to deeds of glory, stimulating our youth to the tender passions, in soothing the decrepitude of age, and in ministering comfort in the season of affliction. Whoever casts a cursory eye over this remark, will at once perceive that the subject of reference here pointed at, is the late splendid Eisteddfod held at Denbigh, which has properly acquired the appellation of Royal, from the patronage and presence of a distinguished member of the house of Brunswick. The design of this publication is two-fold; first, to place upon record, in a respectable form, the history of the proceedings connected with that interesting Congress; and secondly, to preserve and perpetuate the admirable compositions there produced - the genuine effusions of the native Awen. The Publisher respectfully begs to observe, that the delay of the work has arisen from circumstances in which he had no participation, and from causes over which he had no controul. Of those circumstances and causes he declines even the enumeration; and would only observe, that when he undertook the publication upon his own responsibility, it had been abandoned in every other quarter, and the valuable materials were in danger of being consigned to perpetual oblivion.
