Welsh Journals

field of printed Welsh literature will be of immense service not only to book collectors, but to all who are interested in Welsh literature. It is not proposed to give a full bibliographical descrip- tion of the books-that must come later. For the present a short entry, to include the author, short title, date, place of printing, number of pages and size, is all that can be attempted. Additions and corrections are cordially invited. They should be addressed to The Editor, Journal W.B.S., National Library, Aberystwyth. The Editor will also be glad to receive notes, queries, replies, articles on bibliography, and books suitable for review. A Howler! In or about the year 1708 a small handbook was pub- lished.
