17957108s.l.: s.n. 1795. 4to pp. ii 95 1 folding genealogical chart. Extracted from a volume retaining portions of leather spine. Light soiling to front and rear. A scarce argument for the inheritance of John Stewart 7th Earl of Galloway 1736-1806 to give him a claim to the English peerage. Lord Galloway had already sat in the House of Lords as a Scottish representative peer and had done so since 1774 but faced re-election each parliament and lost his seat in the 1790 election. Whether on the strength of this argument or his service as a Lord of the Bedchamber Lord Galloway achieved his aim being created Baron Stewart of Garlies in the peerage of Great Britain in 1796 and thereby rejoining the Lords as a permanent member. Though anonymous this pamphlet was written by Eliezer Williams 1754-1820 chaplain and tutor to the Galloway family who had been enlisted to help investigate the pedigree. The table at the end mentions the death of Vice-Admiral Keith Stewart in March 1795 giving a terminus post quem for the publication. NLS and Hornel Gallery only in ESTC. ESTC T193376.

Spine starting minor dust soiling. Very good.The panorama is formed of twelve panels and each notable location in the Eyri Hills is described underneath. Although protected as the Eyri National Park in Wales the area is still redolent with history. A few examples of historical and mythological sites in the Eyri Hills;Yr Wyddfa's name likely comes from the word 'Gwyddfa' another word for 'grave' or 'burial-ground'. The summit of Yr Wyddfa is said to be where the medieval Welsh king Rhita Gawr was buried after a fierce battle with King Arthur. The medieval masterpiece the Mabinogi is one of Britain's earliest examples of prose. Some of the best-known stories of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi are set within the National Park's boundaries including 'Branwen ferch Llyr' and 'Math fab Mathonwy'. One of our favorite legends is that of the woman made of flowers; "One of the Mabinogi’s most iconic characters is Blodeuwedd. The Mabinogi is a collection of mythical Welsh tales divided into four parts or ‘branches’. Blodeuwedd’s story is told in the fourth branch of the Mabinogi ‘Math fab Mathonwy’ Math son of Mathonwy. A woman named Arianrhod places a ‘tynged’ fate on her son Lleu Llaw Gyffes. The fate meant that Lleu could never marry a human woman. But Lleu had an uncle named Gwydion a legendary wizard. Upon hearing Lleu’s fate Gwydion created him a wife made of flowers and named her Blodeuwedd. She was created from the flowers of the oak the flowers of the broom and the flowers of the meadowsweet. Blodeuwedd and Lleu got married but trouble was soon on the horizon. Blodeuwedd had fallen in love with Gronw Pebr a warrior and hunter from Penllyn. To solve their dilemma Blodeuwedd and Gronw decided to murder Lleu so that they could live happily together. But killing Lleu was no easy task. Lleu could only be killed in certain circumstances. He had to have one foot on a bath and one on a goat. He would then have to be stabbed with a spear—but not any old spear. It had to be a spear created over a year during Mass. Faced with such conditions Blodeuwedd and Gronw were almost hopeless—until Blodeuwedd had an idea. She asked Lleu to show her exactly how he had to stand in order to be killed. Lleu would have no suspicions about Blodeuwedd’s plan—after all he and Blodeuwedd were happily married and in love. As he stepped to stand on the bath and placed his other foot on a goat Gronw appeared from nowhere and stabbed him. Suddenly Lleu transformed into an Eagle and flew off into the night. Blodeuwedd and Gronw lived happily for a while after Lleu’s departure. But soon revenge was had on the insidious couple. Lleu and his wizard friend Gwydion returned and killed Gronw Pebr. Blodeuwedd was turned into an owl thus never being able to show her face in the light of day ever again" Snowdonia National Park Authority You need legends like these to inspire Welsh bands like Catatonia shameless plug.

It went on to enjoy a long run 563 performances and received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award as the Best American Play of its season.
