AUTHOR’S PREFACE

This treatise is little more than a careful digest of numerous works, ofthe more important of which a list is given. A sincere note ofobligation is due to Messrs. Jones and Freeman’s scholarly and accurateHistory of St. David’s and to Mr. John Murray’s Handbook to the WelshCathedrals; but the list is given quite as much to assist futurestudents as to emphasise those writers to whom the author has been underspecial obligations.

Those who may wish to visit St. David’s will find it remarkablyinaccessible, and they will be well advised to travel to Haverfordwestby train, sleep there, and drive on, over the sixteen miles andseventeen hills, to St. David’s on the next day. For cyclists there is amuch better road from Letterston station, but the other is preferablefrom the picturesque point of view.

The illustrations are mostly from the author’s own photographs, but hisspecial thanks are due to Mr. A. David and Mr. Morgan, to whose heartyco-operation on the spot a large meed of whatever success they mayattain is unhesitatingly given. The general views are from photographsby Valentine, Frith
