The Welsh Church and Welsh Nationality. By David Jones, BA.
(Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.)—Mr. David Jones is a beneficed elergymnn in Wales, and he pretests against the Anglicising policy which has been pursued with regard to the Church in Wales, and. with regard to the country generally. So far as his arguments tend to particularism, we must express our dissent. But this we do not gather to be the writer's aim. lie is proud of the Welsh language and the associations of Welsh nationality, but we suppose, to put the matter practically, that he would like every 'Welshman to speak English also. If he does not, surely he is for perpetuating a practical disability ; if he does, what does be think will be the result in. the end ? Did a people over continue to speak two languages, one of which is the language of government.
