Griffith edition by David Price "A Letter Addressed to the Right Honourable Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P." by the Rev. Evan Evans is a religious and social pamphlet written in the early 19th century. This work aims to articulate the objectives and significance of the Chester Cambrian Society, which was established to provide Welsh residents in Chester with religious instruction in their native language, ensuring their spiritual needs are met within the context of the Established Church. The text addresses the concerns regarding the Welsh population’s understanding of the English language and the necessity of preserving their cultural and linguistic heritage while receiving spiritual guidance. In this letter, Evans elaborates on the founding of the Chester Cambrian Society, detailing its mission to offer Welsh-language religious services for those who struggle with English. He argues against the opinion that Welsh emigrants should solely learn English for spiritual instruction, emphasizing that many in the community would remain spiritually impoverished without assistance in their native tongue. Through poignant examples and rhetorical questions, Evans highlights the cultural and pastoral importance of the Society, portraying the dire consequences of neglecting the spiritual needs of Welsh-speaking individuals in an English-dominated society. The letter thus stands as a passionate plea for the value of the Cambrian Society’s work, advocating for the preservation of Welsh identity and the provision of religious support.
