Printed in quarto, on thick hand-made paper, old-faced type.

A copy sent post free to any address in Great Britain or America on receipt of Twenty-one Shillings, by WOODALL and VENABLES, Publishers, Oswestry. ¡ From The Globe, March 29, 1879. Messrs. Woodall and Venables of Oswestry, have issued a magnificent edition of the History of the Gwydir Fan-Hy-H, record that throws much light on the state of society lnlsoith Wales in the 15th and the earlierlpart of the 16th centuries. From The Academy, Apr. 5. Sir John Wynne's qf the Givye-lir Family stands ajone as being the only family history which hus rc-acheii a fourth edition? The book contains many quaint and interesting anecdotes, which are not to be found elsewhere, and which threw a vivid lisht on Welsh manners and customs of the fiftQenth and sixteenth centuries. From the Daily News, Jan. 22. The thanks of antiquaries and historical" students are due t Mr. Askew Roberts, of Oswestry, for his handsome reprint, with many valuable additions (Oswestry: Woodall and Venables), of the old memoir of the Gwydir Family, written by Sir John Wynne in the time of James II., and first published in 1770. This narrative comprises the only known account of the state of society in North Wales in the fifteenth and the earlier part of the sixteenth centuries and its little incidental sketches of the wHd, lawless condition of the country, and of the feuds of the different families who in certain districts were always contending for mastery, are curiously significant. The volume is accompanied by pedigrees, and by several interesting old portraits and views reproduced in facsimile. From Archceolor ia Cambrmsis, April. From these few, out of many instances, it will easily be seen what a fund of information may be found here, on the social condition of North Wales at the period treated of. Indeed we know of no other book to compare with it in this respect. The present edition, moreover, is enriched with a large number of illustrative notes, which render it as complete as can be well desired. This is mainly due to Mr. W. W. E. Wynne, of Peniarth, who, not only "has collated his own copy of Miss L'wyd's edition with the Brogyntyn, Wynnstay, and Peniarth MSS., and added a very large collection of dates from contem- porary records in London,' thus verifying and illustrating the contents, but placed the whole at the service of Mr. Askew Roberts, whom we congratulate very cordially on the completion 0: his excellent edition. From the North "Wales Guardian, Mar. 22. The work is indeed an admirable production. The antiqua- rian will find in it much to rxhuire. the student of Welsh history plenty of valuable information of the date of which it treats, and the reading public much to interest and to wonder at. From the Chester Courant, March 26.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTEll CASES. TIME is a magician that works startling changes in men and things. In the year 1868 there was published a 11 itepot-t on a supply of water from the source of the river Rheidol by Mr. WALTER JAMES HOLROYDE, and Mr. JAMES WEEKS ISZLUMPER." Before comparing some of Mr. SZLTJ-JIPER'S figures given at the Government inquiry last week with figures given in the pamphlet, it may be well to state that what is erroneously called the "source ofthe river Rheidol" is Llyn Llygad Rheidol, from which it is now, as then, proposed to supply the town. The plan was to be laid before the Commissioners by Mr. PNLL, to whom the report attributes the merit of originating the idea, which was elaborated by the engineers already named. The report says the grave question arises, Where is the proper place to go to for the water. The italics are in th re- port, and are followed by these words- After considering all that has been previously suggested, we feel strong confidence in recommending this plan as the best in every sense of the word for t'ae benefit of the town." It will be pleasant to read the subjoined, almost poetic description of the lake:—" Llyn Llygad Rheidol," says the report, is a lake of eleven acres area, and is such a magnificent storage reservoir that few places can boast of. We believe it is of great depth, but the means of sounding it were not at our disposal when we made our inspections and iis we do not propose to take the watd' at any lower level than the ordinary flood level, the fact of its deJpth does not affect us, except inasmuch that if the depth is as great as stated, it materially increases the advantages of the site as a natural storage reser- voir. The Llvn is situated at an elevation of 2,000 feet above Aberystwyth, and consequently far ab.Jve all contaminating influences. No bog drains into it, and the dry rocky nature of its drainage area prevents the existence of bo,), water. It lies in a bowl-shaped valley with h:gh precip- itous sides, and is fed by tsvo streams, one enter- ing at the head Ciorn a like c illed Llyn Llygud Bychan, and the other coming in about half way down the lake on the Lor hern side there is only one outlet, and that is the river Rheidol. This water we propose to bring to Aberystwyth." The report proposed to bring the water in an open conduit to a place called Domen, J and to erect a compensation reservoir there. The distance from Llyn Llygad Rheidol to Domen," continues the report, is fourteen miles, and the water in the compensating reservoir will be 1,706 feet below that in Llyn Llygad Rheidol. In order to bring the water down to this level, in the distance, it will be necessary in places, to drop it down in cataracts." With these cataracts in their eye the engineers go on to describe the filtering beds it was proposed to make at Domen to get rid of any impurity the water" might have taken up in its course to Domen." In 1868 Mr. SZLUMPER puts down the masonry and works at Llyn Llygad Rheidol, in order to raise the lake six feet, at JE300. Last week he thought these works would cost R500. In 1868 he thought a distributing reservoir at Aberystwyth could be made for Y,500, now he thinks the Aber- ystwyth reservoir will cost £ 2,500. In 1868 fourteen miles of open conduit was to cost only £ 700; last week he thought the cutting, filling, &c., of the trenches would cost £ 5,904. Some- thing must have risen terribly since 1868, or a trenoh to lay a pipe in must be a very much more serious thing than an open conduit carefully puddled for conveying water. In 1868 Mr. SZLUMPJSR'S estimate for the work at Llyn Llygad Rheidol, for the compensating reservoir at Domen, the distributing reservoir at Aberystwyth, the cataracts, the fourteen miles of conduit, four and a half miles of double line stoneware pipes, a quarter of a mile of iron pipes, and ten per cent for contingencies, was only £ 5,346. On Wednesday last, Mr. SZLUMPER'S estimate for the present scheme came to zC23, 104. He makes the cutting in the present scheme come to nearly as much as the whole of his estimate in 1863. Mr. STOOKE, the engineer engaged to carry out the present plan, has not introduced any cataracts, which is to be regretted from a 0 picturesque point of view, but he has prepared an estimate which Mr. SZLUMPER thinks is too little by zC6,288, a sum. considerably in excess of his own estimate for the whole of the 1868 scheme. The Plynlimon water scheme of 1868 with its cataracts, open conduits, filter beds, stoneware pipes ,tnd compensating reservoir,Jwas so cheap a thing that we could actually have had four of them for the sum of money Mr. SZLUMPER now thinks the plans prepared by Mr. STOOKE will require to carry them out. It is worth remembering that in this Report the proposal is to bring water from Llyn Llygad Rheidol to Domen, and not to attempt to gather water at Dornen. Last week Mr. SZLUMPER stated that he had gauged the water in the Domen Valley, and there was an unlimited supply. What a pity it is, undar these circumstances, that a scheme should ever have been prepared to take water from Plynlimon direct to this unlimited C, supply at Domeu, which one might think would have been more than sufficient for Aberystwyth without the addition of Llyn Llygad Rheidol. Since the enquiry, the Inspector has visited both Plynlimon and the Domen Valley, and it is not too much to say that whatever may be the fate of the Plynlimon scheme, Aberystwyth will never be supplied from the unlimited source at Domen. It may fairly be presumed that the estimate pre- pared by Mr. STOOKE, which reaches the sum of -C £ 16,816, is one for which the work can be carried out, if sanction can be obtained soon enough to take advantage of the provisional contract with Mr. SPITTLE for the pipes. One thing is certain, that water from Plynlimon will place Aberystwyth in the first rank amongst summer resorts. The advantage to the town of the far-famed mountain as a source of water supply for Aberystwyth cannot be over-estimated and, happily, it is not improbable after Major TULLOCH'S visits to the lake and to the Domen Valley that the Plynlimon scheme will be sanctioned, and the long agitated question finally set at rest, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. SZLUMPER has signed a memorial t) the Local Government Board which he perhaps im-igines will have the effect of counteracting his pamphlet"
THE INFLUENCE OF WOMEN.
THE INFLUENCE OF WOMEN. RELIGION IN WALES.—No. 46. FROM time to time the admission has been frankly made that socially the clergy and ministry of Wales stand on a somewhat lower level than in England. It is also true that they marry into a lower social grade, and that their wives con- sequently are even more unable than themselves to fulfil those social duties which devolve upon them as the wives of ministers of the gospel. The education of women has been more completely neglected in Wales, if possible, than in England. Some effort, however inadequate, has been made to fit ministers for their vocation, but the women they marry have been left to private adventure schools for instruction and to by no means refined home life for domestic culture. Welsh farmers and shopkeepers rarely make pertence to anything that goes by the name of higher culture. The farmhouse, as a rule, is small and inconvenient, and the trades- men's premises are mainly shop and warehouse, the living rooms being looked upon as of second- ary importance. The farmer or tradesman's son goes to college for three or four yerrs before he enters upon his ministerial duties, bat his daughter marries a curate and is at once translated into a position to which she has had no prepar- ation whatever. She is elevated to equality with the people she has always looked upon as her superiors, and manifests less ease in their com- pany than the servants. The clergyman's office confers upon him an authority which he is forced to exercise, and in time he learns that which at first he was deficient in. His wife's permanent position depends upon herself. She is the clergy- man's wife, and if her training enables her to be what a clergyman's wife should be, no one will oppose her. If, however, she is ignorant, shy, and awkward, and is aware of her defects, she be- comes a nobody, and her place is worse than empty. In Wales well-to-do families do not train their sons for the Church, and the clergy do not marry into what are called the best families. There is another powerful drawback in the nos- ition of an average Welsh clergyman's wife. Her husband is poor, and what is worse than the bare poverty, has poor relations, a poor house, and perhaps a load of debt to contend with, besides living in a poor district, where the Church is pro- bably unpopular. When all the points of differ- once between the position of an average English clergymans w;ife, and the wife of a Welsh clergy- man are taken into account, the balance will be found very much against the latter, not because of any fault of her own, nor because of any natural inferiority, but simply by reason of all the circum- stances that coupled her lot with that of a clergyman, but denied her a good home training and a fairly liberal education. ° Amongst Nonconformists, and especially in Wales, the minister's wife is not expected to take up any particular position in regard either to social life or church work. The Nonconformist minister does not necessarily stand on equal terms with the wealthy and cultured members of his congregation. If he happens to have private sources of income or is a man of education he will take a place in accord with his mental and material possessions, but his position as minister of a Nonconformist congregation, counts for nothing outside the congregation and for very little inside, unless be is a man of considerable culture and power, or possesses private means which give him some degree of independence. When rf Nonconformist minister becomes pop- ular, a by no means rare occurrence, he obtains a great deal of power and influence which are thrust upon him. He makes wills, gives advice, receives confidences, and settles disputes of all kinds. This is also true of the Church of England cler- gyman, but he has not the same chance, because he is the minister of an unpopular church. The Roman Catholic Church recognizes and avails itself of women as part of its system. In the Church of England women are far less prom- inent, but it is amongst Nonconformists that their position is least recognized. Women teach in L y Nonconformist Sunday Schools, and in many instances that is the only way in which they par- ticipate in religious work recognized as part of the religious system. In the Church of England women teach in Sunday Schools, and also belong to societies of different kinds more or less inti- mately connected with church life and work. The only occasion on whieh the women of,
