in the north�察�and from the top of a bare hill I obtained a prospect 
to the south�察�noble indeed ´ waters�察�forests�察�hoary mountains�察�and 
in the far distance the sea。  But all these fine prospects were a 
poor compensation for what I underwent�此 �I was scorched by the sun�察�
which was insufferably hot�察�and my feet were bleeding from the 
sharp points of the rocks which cut through my boots like razors。  
At length coming to a stone wall I flung myself down under it�察�and 
almost thought that I should give up the ghost。  After some time�察�
however�察�I recovered�察�and getting up tried to find my way out of 
the anialwch。  Sheer good fortune caused me to stumble upon a path�察�
by following which I came to a lone farm´house�察�where a good´
natured woman gave me certain directions by means of which I at 
last got out of the hot stony wilderness�察�for such it was�察�upon a 
smooth royal road。

;Trust me again taking any short cuts�察─�said I�察 �after the specimen 
I have just had。;  This�察�however�察�I had frequently said before�察�and 
have said since after taking short cuts ´ and probably shall often 
say again before I come to my great journey's end。

I turned to the east which I knew to be my proper direction�察�and 
being now on smooth ground put my legs to their best speed。  The 
road by a rapid descent conducted me to a beautiful valley with a 
small town at its southern end。  I soon reached the town�察�and on 
inquiring its name found I was in Tan y Bwlch�察�which interpreted 
signifieth ;Below the Pass。;  Feeling much exhausted I entered the 
Grapes Inn。

On my calling for brandy and water I was shown into a handsome 
parlour。  The brandy and water soon restored the vigour which I had 
lost in the wilderness。  In the parlour was a serious´looking 
gentleman�察�with a glass of something before him。  With him�察�as I 
sipped my brandy and water�察�I got into discourse。  The discourse 
soon took a religious turn�察�and terminated in a dispute。  He told 
me he believed in divine predestination�察�I told him I did not�察�but 
that I believed in divine prescience。  He asked me whether I hoped 
to be saved�察�I told him I did�察�and asked him whether he hoped to be 
saved。  He told me he did not�察�and as he said so�察�he tapped with a 
silver tea´spoon on the rim of his glass。  I said that he seemed to 
take very coolly the prospect of damnation�察�he replied that it was 
of no use taking what was inevitable otherwise than coolly。  I 
asked him on what ground he imagined he should be lost�察�he replied 
on the ground of being predestined to be lost。  I asked him how he 
knew he was predestined to be lost�察�whereupon he asked me how I 
knew I was to be saved。  I told him I did not know I was to be 
saved�察�but trusted I should be so by belief in Christ�察�who came 
into the world to save sinners�察�and that if he believed in Christ 
he might be as easily saved as myself�察�or any other sinner who 
believed in Him。  Our dispute continued a considerable time longer。  
At last�察�finding him silent�察�and having finished my brandy and 
water�察�I got up�察�rang the bell�察�paid for what I had had�察�and left 
him looking very miserable�察�perhaps at finding that he was not 
quite so certain of eternal damnation as he had hitherto supposed。  
There can be no doubt that the idea of damnation is anything but 
disagreeable to some people�察�it gives them a kind of gloomy 
consequence in their own eyes。  We must be something particular 
they think�察�or God would hardly think it worth His while to torment 
us for ever。

I inquired the way to Festiniog�察�and finding that I had passed by 
it on my way to the town�察�I went back�察�and as directed turned to 
the east up a wide pass�察�down which flowed a river。  I soon found 
myself in another and very noble valley�察�intersected by the river 
which was fed by numerous streams rolling down the sides of the 
hills。  The road which I followed in the direction of the east lay 
on the southern side of the valley and led upward by a steep 
ascent。  On I went�察�a mighty hill close on my right。  My mind was 
full of enthusiastic fancies�察�I was approaching Festiniog the 
birthplace of Rhys Goch�察�who styled himself Rhys Goch of Eryri or 
Red Rhys of Snowdon�察�a celebrated bard�察�and a partisan of Owen 
Glendower�察�who lived to an immense age�察�and who�察�as I had read�察�was 
in the habit of composing his pieces seated on a stone which formed 
part of a Druidical circle�察�for which reason the stone was called 
the chair of Rhys Goch�察�yes�察�my mind was full of enthusiastic 
fancies all connected with this Rhys Goch�察�and as I went along 
slowly�察�I repeated stanzas of furious war songs of his exciting his 
countrymen to exterminate the English�察�and likewise snatches of an 
abusive ode composed by him against a fox who had run away with his 
favourite peacock�察�a piece so abounding with hard words that it was 
termed the Drunkard's chokepear�察�as no drunkard was ever able to 
recite it�察�and ever and anon I wished I could come in contact with 
some native of the region with whom I could talk about Rhys Goch�察�
and who could tell me whereabouts stood his chair。

Strolling along in this manner I was overtaken by an old fellow 
with a stick in his hand�察�walking very briskly。  He had a crusty 
and rather conceited look。  I spoke to him in Welsh�察�and he 
answered in English�察�saying that I need not trouble myself by 
speaking Welsh�察�as he had plenty of English�察�and of the very best。  
We were from first to last at cross purposes。  I asked him about 
Rhys Goch and his chair。  He told me that he knew nothing of 
either�察�and began to talk of Her Majesty's ministers and the fine 
sights of London。  I asked him the name of a stream which�察�
descending a gorge on our right�察�ran down the side of a valley�察�to 
join the river at its bottom。  He told me that he did not know�察�and 
asked me the name of the Queen's eldest daughter。  I told him I did 
not know�察�and remarked that it was very odd that he could not tell 
me the name of a stream in his own vale。  He replied that it was 
not a bit more odd than that I could not tell him the name of the 
eldest daughter of the Queen of England�此 �I told him that when I 
was in Wales I wanted to talk about Welsh matters�察�and he told me 
that when he was with English he wanted to talk about English 
matters。  I returned to the subject of Rhys Goch and his chair�察�and 
he returned to the subject of Her Majesty's ministers�察�and the fine 
folks of London。  I told him that I cared not a straw about Her 
Majesty's ministers and the fine folks of London�察�and he replied 
that he cared not a straw for Rhys Goch�察�his chair or old women's 
stories of any kind。

Regularly incensed against the old fellow�察�I told him he was a bad 
Welshman�察�and he retorted by saying I was a bad Englishman。  I said 
he appeared to know next to nothing。  He retorted by saying I knew 
less than nothing�察�and almost inarticulate with passion added that 
he scorned to walk in such illiterate company�察�and suiting the 
action to the word sprang up a steep and rocky footpath on the 
right�察�probably a short cut to his domicile�察�and was out of sight 
in a twinkling。  We were both wrong�此 �I most so。  He was crusty and 
conceited�察�but I ought to have humoured him and then I might have 
got out of him anything he knew�察�always supposing that he knew 
anything。

About an hour's walk from Tan y Bwlch brought me to Festiniog�察�
which is situated on the top of a lofty hill looking down from the 
south´east�察�on the valley which I have described�察�and which as I 
know not its name I shall style the Valley of the numerous streams。  
I went to the inn�察�a large old´fashioned house standing near the 
church�察�the mistress of it was a queer´looking old woman�察�
antiquated in her dress and rather blunt in her manner。  Of her�察�
after ordering dinner�察�I made inquiries respecting the chair of 
Rhys Goch�察�but she said that she had never heard of such a thing�察�
and after glancing at me askew�察�for a moment�察�with a curiously´
formed left eye which she had�察�went away muttering chair�察�chair�察�
leaving me in a large and rather dreary parlour�察�to which she had 
shown me。  I felt very fatigued�察�rather I believe from that unlucky 
short cut than from the length of the way�察�for I had not come more 
than eighteen miles。  Drawing a chair towards a table I sat down�察�
and placing my elbows upon the board I leaned my face upon my 
upturned hands�察�and presently fell into a sweet sleep�察�from which I 
awoke exceedingly refreshed just as a maid opened the room door to 
lay the cloth。

After dinner I got up�察�went out and strolled about the place。  It 
was small�察�and presented nothing very remarkable。  Tired of 
strolling I went and leaned my back against the wall of the 
churchyard and enjoyed the cool of the evening�察�for evening with 
its coolness and shadows had now come on。

As I leaned against the wall�察�an elderly man came up and entered 
into discourse with me。  He told me he was a barber by profession�察�
had travelled all over Wales�察�and had seen London。  I asked him 
about the chair of Rhys Goch。  He told me that he had heard of some 
such chair a long time ago�察�but could give me no information as to 
where it stood。  I kno
