PREFACE
It is with due humility I place this book in the
hands of the public, and make no claim whatever to be regarded as an author, but
merely a compiler.
In the course of extensive reading 1
found, scattered here and there, in books ancient and modern, abundant material,
that only wanted dovetailing together for the construction of such a book. That
I have attempted to do — with what success it is for my older readers to judge,
and especially for my fellow-teachers of this historic and beautiful county.
Then, a residence of thirty-five
years in Llandilo, in every sense the heart of the county, and a membership from
its inception of the Carmarthenshire Antiquarian Society, have been of
considerable assistance to me.
To the various publications on
different localities of the county; to the best of the books bearing on it, or
referring to men and events connected with it; and to the annals of the C.A.S.,
I am freely a debtor.
I desire also to express my
indebtedness to the .Carmarthenshire Antiquarian Society, Mr. W. A. Williams (Llandilo),
Mr. H. Harris, the Excelsior Photo Co., Ltd., Carmarthen, Messrs. Burrows,
Cheltenham, and others, for photographs.
That a book of the kind is long
overdue must be apparent to all who have given any thought to the subject, and
as no more worthy pen than mine set about the task, I have essayed it, and trust
that my efforts will not have been altogether in vain.
D. MORGAN.
