Henry Higgins
The speakers in this series of talks are drawn from all walks of life, and their qualifications for speaking are the undoubted interest which they have shown in Wales and the Welsh people, and their association with movements in Wales. They select their own aspects of Welsh life for comment, and are free to speak from a wholly personal standpoint.
Henry Higgins , the fourth speaker in this series, is well known in North Wales as an archaeologist and public man. He will speak this evening of the character of the Welsh, and his talk will include some rather candid criticisms. His advice to English settlers in Wales is that they should learn the Welsh language, because in not doing so they miss a great deal. Everyone can appreciate the beauty of the Welsh countryside, but if they really want to enjoy life in Wales to the fullest extent, they must learn the language and get to know the people.
