Owen's Pembrokeshire, Part III. Edited, with Notes and an Appendix,

by Henry Owen, D.C.L. (Bedford Press. 12s. 6d. net.) —This is the first number of the "Cymmodorion Record Series." It contains, besides some memorial verses on George Owen of Henlys—the author of the book here edited (ob. 1613)—the "Dialogue of the Government of Wales," " Cruell Lawes against Welshmen "—and they certainly are cruel and unjust, as they are summarised here—a "Treatise of Lordshipps Marchers in Wales," and a "Description of Wales," including the counties of Monmouth, Glamorgan, Brecknock, Radnor, and Pembroke. Parish churches, fairs, towns, deer parks, mountains, rivers, gentlemen's mansions, with names of owners and their wives, are given. The editor has added throughout explanatory and illustrative notes.
