Abstract:

'The substance of these lectures', John Rhys states in his preface, 'was
delivered at Aberystwyth College in 1874 … but it is hoped that they will also
be found intelligible to other than Welsh readers'. Rhys (originally Rees,
1840–1915) had been a student of Jesus College, Oxford, and his interest in
linguistics was fired by attending the lectures of German philologists while
studying abroad in summer vacations. This 1877 work established him as a
scholar, and led to his election as the first professor of Celtic languages at
Oxford, and later as principal of Jesus College. Systematic research on Celtic
languages using the methods of comparative philology was in its infancy when
Rhys was writing, and he emphasises that the new discipline was in a state of
flux, but this pioneering work still repays study today. His two-volume Celtic
Folklore and his historical work Celtic Britain are also reissued in this
series.
