Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Welsh Peasantry I fear the majority of those who may open this volume will expect to find in its pages some record of the agrarian excitement which lately spread itself through South Wales, and in which the "Yale of the Towey" largely participated; and that they will, consequently, look for descriptions of stirring events, and portraitures of a people of determined, if not of a turbulent and rebellious, character. Their anticipations will be, however, disappointed, for these sketches were imagined, and, indeed, nearly completed, before our tranquil vales and mountains witnessed the outbreaks of a disease which, I hope, is now cured, and became scenes of civil warfare and midnight violence.
