"Dolau Cothi." Palas y boneddwr a'r gwladgarwr trwyadl John Johnes, Yswain; saif yn ymyl yr Ogofau, ac y mae groesaw gwresog yno i bawb o ewyllyswyr da i iaith a llen y Cymry; ac i'r rhai sydd yn talu ymweliadau â'r Ogofau. Hir oes i holl noddwyr Cymru.
"Lewis of Caio."[1] "The father of the late vicar of that parish, and the editor of a collection of Welsh Poems, called Flores Poetarum Britannicorum, published an excellent Treatise on Natural Philosophy, in the language of the principality, which he modestly called 'Briwsion oddiar Fwrdd y Dysgedigion,' or 'Fragments from the table of the Literati.' It is an admirable epitome of everything that is valuable in the philosophical discoveries of the last and preceding century, and is as much admired for the beauty of its language as the compendious fecundity of its pages, while its style seems as artless as its contents are useful."
