Welsh Journals

*THE WELSH AMERICAN MAGAZINE. 1929-1936. [Vol. 4 complete, and parts of vols. 3, 6, 7, and 10]. It was published by Cadwgan Jones, a native of Merionethshire, at 219 Seventh Avenue, New York. The first issue appeared in January, 1929, and was sold for ten cents. It was a large-sized quarto publication, nicely printed on good paper, and devoting its pages to the news of the day in and around New York. It con- tained articles in English and in Welsh. It was intended as a monthly, but did not always appear regularly. In 1932, for example, it only appeared four times. *YR YMDRECHYDD (THE ENDEAVOUR). 1894-1895. [Cyf. I, Rhif 6, 12]. A monthly organ of the Welsh Christian Endeavour Societies, published by P. M. Evans and Co., 325 Dearborn Street, Chicago, and edited by the Rev. J. C. Jones, Chicago, and G. James Jones, Ph.D., Oak-Hill, Ohio. The price was 60 cents a year, payable in advance. YR YMWELYDD. 1877-? [Cyf. 1-27, 35, 55 complete, and many other parts]. Henry M. Edwards, an eminent solicitor, in Luzerne Co., Pa., first published this journal about the end of 1871, and was also its editor. It was a monthly periodical, and included among its articles were many on the leading Welsh writers of the U.S.A., such as the Rev. Frederick Evans (' Ednyfed '), Dewi Glan Twrch etc. *YR YSGOL. 1860-1870. [Cyf. I, Rhif 1, 2, 4-12]. It was first published by H. J. Hughes, of New York, who was also its editor. It was a monthly organ for the use of young people in the Welsh churches, and sold for one dollar a year. It contained pictures in keeping with the taste of the youth of its period. On the death of the editor, it ceased publication, but in 1872 it was combined with Blodau'r Oes under the title Blodau yr Oes a'r rsgol. YR YSPIYDD. 1871-1872. A monthly periodical of which I know nothing, except that it ran for two years, and to which I have seen three references. Croesor. BOB OWEN.
