I have thus completed the circuit I proposed at the commencement of my labours. To hope the attainment of perfection in a work of this nature would with justice be deemed presumptuous; but I trust any inaccuracy will be treated with lenity, and that due allowance will be made for the disadvantage under which verbal information is at all times collected by a person who does not understand the native language. Thus far I can with truth say, that, from a desire to combine correctness with intelligence, I have in no case given that on heresay, which might be readily ascertained by ocular demonstration. With regard to the quotations which I have thought proper to introduce, I must here again draw upon the kind indulgence of my readers. Not having an extensive library at my command, I have sometimes been obliged to quote from memory. This will also, in some degree, account for omissions of which I may in places be deemed guilty. I will now take leave of my friends, assuring them that, if I have not done all I might for their information and amusement, it must be attributed to any other cause rather than a want of desire and endeavour on my part. It would, indeed, be unpardonable in me to deserve such an imputation, after having received so many marks of attention from friends whom I have had occasion more than once to consult in the progress of my researches, and being furnished with information from quarters where I had not the least claim. * * * * * * * * * * LLANGOLLEN: PRINTED BY H.

FOOTNOTES. {2a} The north side of the river is called “_Trevor Ucha_,” i.e. “_Upper Trevor_.” {2b} Since the year 1827 great many new and elegant brick-houses were built, which add much to the neatness of the town. {3a} According to the census of 1841, the number of houses were 884, and inhabitants 4,498. {3b} There are now seven fairs kept every year, viz. last Friday in January, March 17, April 22, May 31, August 21, October 15, November 22. {3c} The Mail comes through from London at present 55 minutes past nine o’clock in the morning, and returns through from Holyhead at half past two in the afternoon. {3d} The above stage coaches have ceased running since few years ago; and instead of the Vans there is a Waggon now passing once a week to Shrewsbury. {3e} There are coaches also going regularly to meet the trains at Chester. {4} Twenty two at present. {5} The Welch have a great readiness in attaching names to record occurrences: thus, the Gerant, which is a part of the Berwyn Mountains, is called by them Moel y Barbwr, i.e. Barber Hill, and obtained this appellation from the circumstance of a barber, who was an associate of a desperate gang of ruffians, having been hanged on the summit, for the murder of his wife in the last century. {6a} Welch Chron. p. 3. {6b} Camden’s Britan. p. 623. {7a} Warrington, p. 102. {7b} Cort’s Letter.
