Excerpt from The Itinerary in Wales of John Leland: In or About the Years I Extracted From His Mss, Arranged and Edited
IN the course of preparing a new edition of Leland's 'ilirzerary l/zreug/z England and Wales, the scattered por tions relating to Wales having been brought together, it has been suggested that these now possess a certain unity and interest which would justify the issue of the Part on Wales as a separate volume.1 As a man of learning and of in defatigable industry in the collection of information and notes during his travels through the realm, journeys which occupied him about six years, John Leland has always held weight as the earliest of our local antiquarians, and there are few topographers who have not consulted his pages or felt the in uence of the impetus given by his patriotic labours. To the Welshman no less than the Englishman the description of local details nearly four centuries ago con cerning places known to him, however trivial, proves of keen historic and often of personal interest.
