Side 75 - Ewer3 on recovering the Castle, That Sir Trevor Williams of Llangibby was the Malignant who set on foot the plot. Now I give you this plain warning by Captain Nicholas and Captain Burges, That if you harbour or conceal either of the parties or abet their misdoings, I will cause your treasonable nest to be burnt about your ears. OLIVER CROMWELL, f 4.
Side 74 - ... taken that day to Abergavenny, and the next to Monmouth gaol, where he was kept in a room by himself, for which he was obliged to pay fourteen shillings a week. The following year he was sentenced to death at Monmouth. He was then sent to London, and strictly examined concerning the pretended Popish plot, but after vain attempts to induce him to add to Titus Oates's false testimony, he was sent back again to Monmouthshire, and eventually hanged at Usk, with the usual horrible accompaniments,...

Many vestiges of its former splendour may yet be seen; immense palaces formerly ornamented with gilded roofs, in imitation of Roman magnificence, inasmuch as they were first raised by the Roman princes, and embellished with splendid buildings; a tower of prodigious size, remarkable hot baths, relics of temples, and theatres, all enclosed within fine walls, parts of which remain standing.
Side 55 - ... enclosed within fine walls, parts of which remain standing. You will find on all sides, both within and without the circuit of the walls, subterraneous buildings, aqueducts, underground passages; and what I think worthy of notice, stoves contrived with wonderful art to transmit the heat insensibly through narrow tubes passing up the side walls.
Side 2 - ... Teutonic nations divide themselves into High Dutch, Nether Dutch, and Scandinavians, so the Celtic family, so far back as we can trace it into the darkness of antiquity, consisted of two groups or branches with linguistic features of their own which marked them off from one another. To the one belonged the ancestors of the people who speak Gaelic in Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the Highlands of the north, a language which existed also in Wales and Devon in the sixth century, and probably later.
Side 76 - Some years ago, in the roof of the Priory House, Caerleon, an old letter was found, which may be seen in the Museum at Caerleon.
Side 69 - In the time of Griffith, the valiant King of all Wales, Edward, being King of England, merchants frequently came from England and exchanged merchandise in the harbour at the mouth of the river Usk. After the business was accomplished they paid toll, for if they did not pay the accustomed tribute, they were not to have any more leave to come and traffic in the harbour. It happened that at one...
Side 76 - I shall do you any service, without a strong party to compel them, not to entreat them ; and then, I will give them cause to put me into their Litany, as they have now given me cause to put them into mine.
Side 22 - Prince and chief of this district, where he founded his templum or church in close proximity to it ; and I fully believe that that mysterious portion of St. Wollos Church generally called St. Mary's is the church, or rather the site of the templum first erected by our saint, and enlarged and altered at various subsequent periods (but always spared) by adding on the east end, like the church of St. Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury, when the great Abbey was added on to the east end of it.
