Excerpt from Military Aspects of Roman Wales
One part of them has, indeed, received scientific attention. The inscriptions in Latin or Ogam of the latest Roman period and of the next succeeding centuries have been admirably handled, their readings fixed, and the proper names which form so large a part of them studied in their philological relations. Here Professor Sir John Rhys, quem honoris causa, nomino, has done the ser vice of yeoman and general combined. To his learning and genius we owe the solution of many problems; to him we look for the solution of many more. The subject is admittedly difficult. In it, more than in any other branch of current research, the path of the explorer must perforce be strewn with discarded conjectures. But the gateways to knowledge are everywhere built with working hypotheses. We may assert without fear of reasonable contradiction that' all is being done which philology can do for the illustration of Welsh antiquities and ultimately of Welsh history.
