THE CAMBRIAN VISITOR. SATURDAY, JAN. 30, 1813. HISTORY OF WALES, CHAP. Iv SECTION L Reflections on the common Origin of all Nations.^- Britain supposed to be first colonized by ike Gauls, $c.—Uncertainty of British History before the Invasion.—Loss of Records.*—Early Divisions of Wales-—Derivations.

However difficult it may be to determine by whose means any particular country Was first populated, we consider ourselves certain that mankind sprang Originally from one stock: we ought therefore to reflect, that however a long series of mutable ages may have multiplied, divided, and scat¬ tered our race, we are still but one great family, under -the common protection of an Universal Parent, the Cre¬ ator of the first man, and the Artificer of the world.
