Excerpt from The Anti-Tithe Agitation in Wales
Severed from their original surroundings, and published as a pamphlet, these letters may, here and there, appear too uncompromising and positive in their language. I do not wishto withdraw, or even to modify, any opinion expressed in the following pages. But had I written as a pamphleteer, and not as a Special Correspondent, policy might have suggested a greater show of deference to the convictions of Opponents, where the topics under discussion admit of dispute.
In conclusion, I must express my gratitude to the numerous clergymen and laymen who have assisted me in collecting information, and especially to the Bishop of St. Asaph, the Bishops of Bangor and St. Davids, the Dean of St. Asaph, the Archdeacons of St. Asaph, Bangor, and Carmarthen, Mr. J. W. Dale, the Chief Constables of Cardiganshire and Carmarthen shire, and Mr. Sisson, the Registrar of the Diocese of St. Asaph.
