"In Gomer,' a dissertation on the early forms and history of the language, he expressed himself with such positiveness on doubtful subjects, and such vehemence on unimportant ones, as to weaken his authority. He had announced a translation of the poems of Aneurin, [see WILLIAMS, JOHN, AB ITHEL, No. 3,] Taliesin, and the other primitive bards, with a critical revision and re-establishment of the text, which was looked for with much interest; but, though the announcement was made in 1841, nothing had been done towards carrying it out at his death in 1858."-THOMAS WATTS: art. on Welsh Lang. and Lit., in Knight's Eng.
