or, if they do, lose all their sporting instincts. The
brooks that feed the lake absolutely swarm with
trout, very small, but very delicious ; and so the
cormorants find them who sit on Craig Aderyn, a
magnificent projecting rock down the valley, and
dream off their last meal till appetite wakes them
and they wing their way, now to fish in the sea and
then to go inland for the trout in the lake and its
tributaries.
At Towyn there is sea-fishing for others beside
cormorants. Good bass angling with a fly can be had
where the river enters the sea, and " these somewhat
3o8 MACHYNLLETH
j
ungainly productions," says that enthusiastic sports-
man Mr. Lloyd Price, " supposed to be the most
useful adjuncts to the art, with their red bodies, white
and yellow wings, ephemerae of scorn to the salmon-
fishers, display their crude and vulgar proportions in
the windows of almost every shop in the town."
The ascent of Cader Idris can be made from the
head of Tal-y-Llyn Lake, and thence the cirque of
Cwm Covvarch should be visited, and the wondrous
tarn Llyn Caer lying, as it were, at the bottom of a
crater.
Near Towyn is Llanegryn, on a height command-
ing a glorious view, and the church contains a
magnificent rood-screen and loft in excellent preser-
vation. In this parish is Peniarth, the house of the
Wynns, with its precious legacy of Welsh MSS. The
church is crowded with Wynn monuments.
The Wynns are of Irish extraction, deriving from
one Osborn Wyddel (the Irishman), who came over
in the thirteenth century, and obtained by marriage
an estate in Merioneth. He is supposed to have been
a junior of the House of the Geraldines, but the
evidence is not satisfactory. The family soon became
thoroughly Welsh, as far as names go, bearing those
of Llewelyn, Gruffydd, Einion, Iorwerth, and quarter-
ing the arms of Owen Gwynedd.
Peniarth came to them through marriage with an
heiress of the Williams family, whose arms, two foxes
counter-salient, form a sign and give a name to many
an inn in the Williams- Wynn country, which extends
over a large portion of North Wales.
The name of Wynn was not adopted till the
WELSH NAMES 309
sixteenth century. Before that the sons were all
aps. The adoption of surnames in Wales that be-
came fixed and hereditary began in single instances
with Welshmen who had become familiar with Eng-
lish customs, but it was not general until Rowland
Lee, Bishop of Lichfield and President of Wales and
the Marches, when calling over the panel of a jury
one day, became weary of the repetition of the ap,
and directed that "the ancient and worshipful gentle-
man " Thomas ap William ap Thomas ap Richard ap
Howel ap Iefan Fychan, etc., of Mostyn, and the
rest of the jury, should thenceforth severally assume
as a surname either their last genealogical name or
that of their residence. Lee died in 1543. Many of
the names one meets with in Wales are thus derived :
Bowen is ab Owen, Price is ap Rhys, Pritchard is ap
Richard, Bevan is ab Evan, etc. ; and John Jones is
John son of Jones, and Thomas Evans is Thomas
the son of Evan.
When the Welshmen took to giving themselves
surnames, very few adopted place-names ; but there
are some — as Glynne, Trevor, Mostyn. Fewer still
assumed such as were descriptive — as Gwyn (White),
Llwyd, or Lloyd (Gray).
The majority took patronymic names, and thus
we have such swarms of Joneses, Williamses, Davieses,
Evanses, Robertses, and Thomases. It has become
a real nuisance. " It is impossible," says a recent
writer, " to estimate the inconveniences, the annoy-
ance, and even the suffering, occasioned by this
unnecessary dearth of W r elsh surnames, and the con-
tinued multiplication of the comparatively few in
J
10 MACHYNLLETH
popular use. Indeed, our surnames are so few in
number that they almost swamp the population of
England in the statistics compiled to show which
are the most numerous family names in use among
us." *
To obviate the inconvenience, in Wales it is usual
to distinguish one Jones or Williams from another
by appending the name of his home or his profession,
or a descriptive epithet ; but this serves its purpose
only when he is in his native country.
Four of the Welsh members of Parliament bear
the name of Thomas ; and while all share a common
initial, two have no other.
" What tales of infinite trouble and everlasting
worry our Post Office officials in Wales could tell !
How often have our local postmasters to implore
persons of the same name, or of the same name and
like initials, in the postal districts, to come to some
amicable arrangement as to the delivery of their
letters and telegrams ! "
In a Carnarvonshire will case, heard in July, 1894,
the number of Joneses and Robertses called as wit-
nesses during the two days that the action lasted
threw judges and counsel engaged into a condition
of absolute bewilderment, and turned the court into
a patronymical Bedlam.
Sometimes parents, with national enthusiasm, have
their sons christened with a truly Welsh name, and
are not always careful to select such as will pass
smoothly over English tongues, should these sons,
on growing up, go out of the Principality. Such
* Transactions of the Cymmrodorion Society, 1903.
THE ARMS OF WALES 311
was the case with a Rev. T. Mydir Evans, who in
England became " Passon Murder Evans." And
what stumbling has been caused over the name of
Dr. Gwenogfryn Evans at Oxford !
It was at Bishop Lee's suggestion, and in the year
of his death, that the shires of Wales were formally
constituted, though earlier, in 1535, the counties of
Denbigh, Montgomery, Merioneth, Glamorgan, Bre-
con, and Radnor had been constructed out of the old
Marches of Wales.
In conclusion, a word must be added relative to
the arms of Wales and the three feathers of its
Prince's crest.
Coats -of- arms were assumed and changed very
arbitrarily in early days, and there does not seem to
have been any fixed rule as to those borne by the
several princes. Owen Gwynedd is said to have had
on his shield vert, three eagles in fess or, membered
and beaked gules, and these are quartered by the
Wynns of Peniarth.
But Rhodri the Great had four banners carried
before him on which were depicted lions, to represent
the principalities of Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth,
and the Isle of Man, over which his rule extended.
Yet the red dragon was the symbol and ensign of
the Pendragon, or chief king.
A lion rampant appears to have been the favourite
bearing of the princes of Powys. GrufTydd ab
Cynan of Gwynedd bore three lions passant gardant
in pale argent incensed azure.
Lewis Dwnn, in his Heraldic Visitations of JVa/es,
says that " the recognised arms of the Principality
312 MACHYNLLETH
were four lions passant gardant quarterly, and that
is the coat now accepted for Wales."
The red dragon was used by Henry VII. as his
crest, and as a supporter on the dexter side, and on
the sinister, the greyhound of York.
Henry VIII. retained the dragon, but discarded
the greyhound for a lion. The unicorn supplanted
the dragon in the reign of James I. The ostrich
feather was not properly a Welsh crest at all, but
was employed as a badge by Edward III. It was
not till the reign of Henry VII. that the three plumes,
to represent the three principalities of Wales, in a
circlet or coronet, were adopted as a cognisance of
the Prince of Wales, and since then have remained
as an appropriate symbol ; for, indeed, Gwynedd,
Powys, and Deheubarth are feathers in the cap of
our princes of which they may well be proud.

BY COMMAND OF THE KING
THE CORONATION OF EDWARD VII. By J. E. C
Bodley, Author of ' France.' Demy 8vo.
This important book is the official history of the Coronation, and has been written
by the distinguished author of 'France,' by command of the King himself. The
Coronation is the central subject, and of it a detailed account is given. But
the book is in no sense an occasional volume, and the Ceremony is treated, not
as an isolated incident, but as an event belonging to European and Imperial history.
At the end of the work there will bean appendix containing official list of all the
persons invited to the Abbey, and also lists drawn up with some historical detail of
the Colonial and Indian troops who assisted at the Ceremony. It will therefore be
an historical document of permanent value and interest.
THE COMPLETE WORKS OF CHARLES LAMB. Edited
by E. V. Lucas. With numerous Illustrations- In Seven Volumes.
Demy Svo. Js. 6d. each.
This new edition of the works of Charles and Mary Lamb, in five volumes (to be
followed by two volumes containing the Letters), will be found to contain a
large quantity of new matter both in prose and verse— several thousand words in
all. Mr. E. V. Lucas, the editor, has attempted in the notes, not only to relate
Lamb's writings to his life, but to account for all his quotations and allusions—
an ideal of thoroughness far superior to any that previous editors have set before
themselves. A Life of Lamb by Mr. Lucas will follow in the autumn.
FLORENCE, HER HISTORY AND ART. By F. A. Hyett.
Demy Svo. "]s. 6d.
This work is intended to occupy a middle position between the Guides and Histories
of Florence. It tells the story of the rise and fall of the Republic consecutively,
but more succinctly than the works of Napier, Trollope, or Villari, while it treats
of Florentine Art and Letters parenthetically but more systematically than has
been done by either of these writers.
THIRTY YEARS IN AUSTRALIA. By Mrs. Cross (Ada
Cambridge). Demy &vo. 7s. 6d.
A highly interesting account of a generation in Australia by a distinguished
writer. Mrs. Cross's style is picturesque, and the book is more attractive than
many novels. The early difficulties of Australian settlers, life in the towns and
life on the farms are vividly described.
THE LAND OF THE BLACK MOUNTAIN. The Adven-
tures of Two Englishmen in Montenegro. By R. Wyon and G.
Prance. With 51 Illustrations. Crown Svo. 6s.
Messrs. Methuen's Announcements 3
letters from a self-made merchant to his
SON. By George Horace Lorimer. With Eighteen Illustra-
tions. Crown Svo. 6s.
This book is a masterpiece of humour and sound sense. It purports to be a collection
of letters written by J. Graham, head of a great packing company in Chicago, to
his son Pierrepont, and it describes in a racy and interesting form the secrets of
success in business and in life.

Cleather and Basil Crump. Fcap. Svo. 2s. 6d.
A BOOK OF EXMOOR. By F. J. Snell. Illustrated. Croum
Svo. 6s.
This book deals with a variety of topics, embracing legend, folklore, dialect, sport,
biography, history, and natural history, and renders accessible to the public a mass
of particulars hitherto attainable only in expensive monographs or in scattered
periodicals. The author has been at immense pains to consult every known source
of information, both printed and oral ; and his aim has been to produce, not so much
a guide-book, but something more satisfying and substantial, viz. an exhaustive
account of the matters in question. There are numerous illustrations.
