Book Description
Excerpt from The Visions of the Sleeping Bard The latter part of his life is as completely obscure as the earlier; he lapsed again into the silence from which he had only just emerged with such Signal success, and confined his efforts as a Christian worker within the narrow limits of his own native parts, exercising, doubtlessly, an influence for good upon his immediate neighbourhood through force of character and noble personality, as upon his fellow-countrymen at large by means of his published works. His wife died in 1720, and his son, Ellis, in 1732; two years later he himself died, and was buried under the communion table in Llanfair church, on the 17th day of July, There is no marble or perennial brass to mark the last resting-place of the Bard, nor was there, until recent years, any memorial of him in either of his parish churches, when the late Rev. John \vynne set up a fine stained-glass Window at Llanfair church in memory of his illustrious ancestor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sleeping Bard: Or Visions of the World, Death, and Hell The Sleeping Bard was originally written in the Welsh language, and was published about the year 1720. The author of it, Elis Wyn, was a clergyman of the Cambro Anglican Church, and a native of Denbighshire, in which county lie passed the greater part of his life, at a place called Y las Ynys. Besides the Sleeping Bard, he wrote and published a book in Welsh, consisting of advice to Christian Professors. The above scanty details comprise all that is known of Elis Wyn. Both his works have enjoyed, and still enjoy, considerable popularity in Wales. The Sleeping Bard, though a highly remarkable, is not exactly entitled to the appellation of an original work.
