(Welsh Place-Names)
Welsh place-names can throw a good deal of light on the history of the country. Some of them are really the names of Celtic or pre-Celtic tribes who once lived in the regions now called after them. Occasionally, a place-name is the only available testimony to the presence of a certain tribe in a particular district. Professor Williams will give some examples of such place-names and show their connection with the past. He will also discuss old Welsh words which have disappeared from modern literature, but which survive here and there as place-names.

7.10 Mr. Guy N. Pocock: More Sailors of the West: III: "Old Hammer and Nails" Boscawen

Edward Boscawen was born in 1711, and was the third son of the first Viscount Falmouth. Walpole said of him later that he was the most obstinate member of a most obstinate family. Reynolds painted his portrait, and it may be seen in the National Portrait Gallery-a face showing a strange blend of fearless strength and delicate sensibility. His greatest achievement was the chase and annihilation of the French Toulon fleet. That was in the wonderful year, the year of victories, 1759. 'Our bells are worn threadbare with the ringing of victory,' wrote Horace Walpole.
