Some of our readers in renewing their subscriptions have been good enough to express their appreciation of The Welsh Outlook. They will not object to our making a few quotations from their letters to us — From ANGLESEY.—" I eagerly look forward every month to the appearance of the Outlook, and I would greatly miss it. The only criticism of an adverse character I would be disposed to make is one which I think applies pretty generally to all things Welsh, namely, that they are too apt to be a mere reflexion of English things; but I must confess that I think this has far less force in the case of the Outlook than any other periodical I know of and I am delighted to see you giving so much promin- ence to French things. You may, perhaps, be shocked when I say that. speaking generally, I consider English influence in Wales bad, and that instead of being encouraged and imitated on all sides as it is, it ought to be counteracted. I speak after a continuous residence in England of nearly a third of a century, and my deliberate opinion is that England has nothing of value to give us except her language, which, of course, in the circum- stances is a necessity. In other respects I believe the Anglihcation of Wales will mean demoralization of character. From all this you will easily guess the kind of journal I would be disposed to conduct. It would be devoted to the cult of Nationality in the fullest sense of the term, not in any narrow or exclusive sense, but as the only real spring and motive of true and complete national progress. fear Wales in not yet alive to the fact that she owes all the progress of the last forty years to this idea. The Anglification, in a bad sense, which The Welsh Outlook Press UNDERTAKE THE PRINTING OF ALL KINDS OF BOOKS, PAMPHLETS, RE- PORTS, JOURNALS IN HIGH CLASS STYLE, INCLUDING HALF-TONE AND COLOUR ILLUSTRATIONS. 43, Penarth Road, Cardiff. has been going on in this neighbourhood since was young, is. in my mind. simply deplorable, and cannot fail, in the long run. to have a very injurious effect upon the character of the people at large. In fact, it has already had the effect of making them unable to see the difference between independence and impud- ence." FROM ST. FAGANS.—" I have not the time to enter on a detailed criticism of the magazine, but cannot refrain from making the general observation that I have been somewhat disappointed at the attitude of the Outlook towards the War. though in this respect I quite recognize that I am but one of a hopeless minority. In this connection, I feel you arc deserving of gratitude for publishing the splendidly sane and fearless article by Herbert Morgan." FROM WELSHPOOL. — Carry on on your present lines, and good luck to you. You are teaching Welshmen to know one another. When they do we shall have a nation." FROM THE British MUSEUM. It it beyond comparison the best English magazine ever produced in Wales, and it sets a standard of criticism in literature, art and social matters, which is immensely valuable to Wales, whose greatest lack is objective and informed criticism. With The Welsh Outlook in English and the Beirniad in Welsh. Wales has two excellent instruments for her future progress in the things of the mind. FROM MID WALES. May The Welsh Outlook prosper and see length of days It does infinite credit to our dear Motherland.
