You will perceive, my dear friend, that I have not entered into minute and particular descriptions—I have neither given you a detail of fieges, nor presented you with a genealogy half a mile long-I have not described a feast, nor filled up my pages with inscriptions from old tomb stones; but if you wilh to derive information on these heads, I refer you to the pompous descriptions of Young, and to the diffuse and voluminous work of Pennant. The world is doubtless indebted to the latter for his excellent history of Wales, but it is still a history, and has too much of the detail in it to afford me any gratification in the perusal. I have studiously avoided dwelling upon any thing which bore an analogy, or resemblance to works of art, or unproductive ambition. To search out nature in all her her various forms, has constituted my chief delight; and to find her in her wildest attitudes, has proved to me the highest source of gratification and enjoyment. I hope, and fully expect to see you very soon at Cambridge. My best wishes attend you, and believe me to be, with the utmost sincerity, Your affectionate Friend, I. H. APPEN. ::. A P P EN DI X.

I regret much that I have not been able to learn the exact propor*tion of population between North and South Wales; there is, however, no doubt that the latter has by much' the largest share. · The Ille of Anglesea contains fifteen thousand inhabitants, and has rather better than eighty three to each square mile; but it is the most populous : 02 part |
