Among the various writers who have in recent years concerned themselves with the part played by the Welsh in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries Mr. Harries is perhaps the best known. He has followed up his well-known Shakespeare and the Welsh by a book of considerably broader range, since it attempts to "embody in its pages a comprehensive account of the manifold activities of the Welsh people in the days of the great Elizabeth." The book sometimes produces a jerky or note-bookish effect on account of the large number of topics which it undertakes to discuss, but, on the other hand, it contains a mass of interesting material little known to even the special student of the Elizabethan period. In spite of a somewhat liberal interpretation of what constitutes a Welsh Elizabeth

an," Mr. Harries has made it clear that the fine little principality contributed its share to the remarkable band of soldiers, scientists, artists, ecclesiastics and diplomats who made the England of Elizabeth what it was.

Hughes, W. J. Wales and the Welsh in English Literature from Shakespeare to Scott. Wrexham: Hughes and Son; London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent and Co., 1924. Pp. 215.

Two short chapters treat Welsh history, topography, life and character in Elizabethan literature, while the chapter titled "The Seventeenth Century Satirists" contains interesting material on the part played by the Welsh in the Civil War and the pamphlet controversy attending it. Appendix II contains a helpful, though incomplete, bibliography of books about Wales and the Welsh written between 1500 and 1830. The author's treatment of the Elizabethan period is necessarily too brief to be of much service to students; nevertheless it is suggestive and contains in the notes a large number of references to other works on various aspects of the subject.
