Synopsis
The Cambrian Journal. This 1857 issue, published by the Cambrian Institute at Tenby, Wales, gathers a wide spectrum of Welsh antiquarian and literary material. Contents include Preface and chapters on Bardism and the Gorsedd, the Traditionary Annals of the Cymry, the Ancient Commerce and Letters, the Measurable aspects of Welsh literature (including the Mabinogion introduction and notes), Ancient Welsh Music, Peasant Literature, and Easy Lessons in Welsh. Supplements feature correspondence, literary reviews, genealogical discussions, and essays on longevity in Glamorgan, the Herbert family, and Dunraven Castle, together with critical essays on bardic philosophy, the Druids, and Cymric national identity. The journal situates Welsh tradition within a broader European philological framework, weighing legendary kings against historical sources, and discussing the scriptural and mythical strands that weave through bardic lore. It stands as a dense, multifaceted repository for 19th-century Welsh historiography, Celtic studies, and cultural revival, and reflects the period’s zeal for preserving, interpreting, and revalorizing Celtic heritage.
