Extract

The publication of this map is an event of importance. It is no exaggeration to say that it marks a definite advance in the geographical study of history, There may be other historical maps of a like completeness and accuracy, but if there be, ‘ this deponent knoweth them not ’. It is for this reason that a contribution to local history is deemed to deserve an extended notice in the pages of ANTIQUITY. The map is the result of nearly twenty years of research. The results of that research might have been presented to the public in the form of a bulky volume ; it is an event without precedent that they should appear in the form of a map.

1 The Welsh ‘cantref’ has been anglicized with the alteration of one letter as ‘cantred’, ‘cwmwd’ with more change as ‘commote.’ We follow Dr Rees in respecting the frailties of his readers by using commote. The historical student must be warned against the tempting correlations of cantref with hundred, and maenor with manor.
