Excerpt from Lives of the Cambro British Saints: Of the Fifth and Immediate Succeeding Centuries, From Ancient Welsh Latin Mss, in the British Museum and Elsewhere, With English Translations, and Explanatory Notes, Pub, for the Welsh Mss, Society The following collection of "Lives," consists of legendary biographical accounts of several pious persons, who in the early age of the ancient British Church, obtained great eminence and distinction in Wales; and were called Saints on account of their withdrawing themselves from secular concerns, and devoting their time and attention to religious matters, and particularly to the building of churches, and the founding of pious institutions. The publication of the work was undertaken by the Welsh MSS. Society, in order to supply a desideratum in the literature of our country, by so far completing the series of the Lives of the most celebrated of the Cambro British Saints commenced in the Liber Landavensis, as to form a continuation and be a companion volume to that work, the Lives in both being of the same character, and apparently written about the same time. The purpose for which, these and similar "Lives" were compiled, was to give information how the holy persons that they commemorate lived, and to set their mode of living as an example for others to follow, and accordingly they were appointed to be read in time of, and as part of divine service, whereby the hearers would receive a knowledge of the various particulars of their conduct, and be excited to imitate them.
