scenery which surrounds
what remains of Strata Florida; those scanty broken ruins compose all
that remains of that celebrated monastery in which kings, saints, and
mitred abbots were buried, and in which, or in whose precincts, was
buried Dafydd ab Gwilym, the greatest genius of the Cimbric race, and
one of the first poets of the world.'

{28} It must be mentioned, however, in justice to Douglas, that in the
autobiography of Dr. Carlyle, lately published, we find that 'John
Douglas, who has for some time been Bishop of Salisbury, and who is one
of the most able and learned men on that bench, had at this time (1758,
some years after Gronwy had left him) but small preferment.'

{33} In a late number of the Transactions of the Dublin Ossianic
Society--a most admirable institution--there is an account of the early
life of Fin ma Coul, in which the burnt finger is mentioned; but that
number did not appear till more than a year subsequent to the publication
of the 'Romany Rye,' and contains not the slightest allusion either to
Fafnisbane, _i.e._ the slayer of Fafnir, or Taliesin--to the Eddacal or
the Cumric legend.
