The English Welsh Teacher, by RICHARD DAVIES, though blended to

teach Welsh children English, may be useful in ena- bling persons visiting Wales to acquire a smattering of the lan- guage spoken by the humbler classes, sufficient for ordinary pur- poses, supposing that there is not a familiar introduction to the Welsh language. It is the production of a Welsh schoolmaster, whose English reads quaint and primitive; and it consists of a vocabulary of common words and simple phrases, that may rea- dily be got by heart ; but, being intended for natives of the Principality, the greatest seeming difficulty, pronunciation, is no further explained than by giving the sound of each letter of the alphabet.
