^{page no 291 note 2} The most recent account of Evan Roberts and the Revival is [Eifion] Evans, [The Welsh Revival of 1904] (Port Talbot 1969). This does not raise the issues which are the purpose of this paper, since its aim is more edification than historical analysis, but it contains many useful references in the notes, and provides in chapter 11, pp 178-82, a useful summary of the secluded Ufe of Roberts after the end of the Revival.

^{page no 292 note 1} The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, possesses a few items of secondary importance relating to Evan Roberts including a few letters, and has files of the Western Mail and the Calvinist Methodist weekly paper, Y Goleuad, relating to the Revival period. The Library also possesses pamphlets made up of extracts from the Western Mail’s reports of Revival meetings. There is a bibliography in the memorial volume for the Revival, Cyfrol Coffa Diwygiad 1904-1905, ed Sidney, Evans and Roberts, Gomer M. (Caernarfon 1954)Google Scholar: this bibliography, together with the references in The Welsh Revival by Eifion Evans, forms the most complete bibliography yet available.

^{page no 295 note 1} It is interesting that in his book, which gives an edifying account of the Revival in South Wales, Lewis, H. Elvet, a London Welsh minister, cites the example of St Francis: With Christ among the Miners (London 1906) p 151 Google Scholar.

Among other matters, for example, he confuses ‘the new theology’ of the theological colleges with that of R.J. Campbell, whereas it was derived from the impact of Higher Criticism and the writings of von Harnack, Herrman, Troeltsch and others acting as a solvent on the evangelical tradition.
