Description: Wrexham Wrecsam, Hughes & Son, 1876. Original maroon cloth, spine lettered gilt, blind stamped upper board, sprinkled fore-edges, xv+302pp. Spine sunned, top edge dusty, usual mild damp spotting. A very good, tight copy. ".. his title to remembrance is his Welsh Grammar, which went into four editions ( 1853, 1857, 1865, 1876 ) — a volume of Welsh Exercises was added in 1870. For a long period, Rowland's was the standard Welsh grammar, and Sir John Morris-Jones, while noting its defects, was yet able to testify that it contained ' a great deal of sound knowledge - about modern Welsh.. Rowland was also, for the last ten years of his life, 'corrector' of Welsh place-names for the Ordnance Survey maps" (Jenkins, 1959) .
