Excerpt from The Perfidious Welshman For a long time a number of miscellaneous accusations with regard to the Welsh have been floating about, but, not having been reduced to specific form, they have not been specifically denied, and thus they have been allowed to gain a certain currency. The publication of the present volume, concentrating, as it does, the manifold accusations that have been made against the Welsh from various points of view, will furnish protagonists of the Cymric race with an opportunity which they will, no doubt, readily embrace, of repudiating many of the charges which the Author has preferred against Taffy and his kind. It may perhaps be assumed that even the Author himself would have his statements taken cum grano salts, and has had in mind the Spanish proverb, "Tell a lie that you may find a truth." Few impartial inquirers are likely to deny that there is a substratum of truth in the Author's statements; it is for the judicious to sift the wheat from the "chaff."
