Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

(Excerpt from A History of the Puritan Movement in Wales: ...)
Excerpt from A History of the Puritan Movement in Wales: From the Institution of the Church at Llanfaches in 1639 to the Expiry of the Propagation Act in 1653 At the National Eisteddfod of 1918, held at Neath, the Eisteddfod Association offered a prize of Fifty Pounds for the best work of original research, in Welsh or English, on any subject connected with Wales, in regard to its history, language, or literature. Several works were submitted to the adjudication of Dr. John Edward Lloyd, M.A., author of the "History of Wales," and the Essay now published was awarded the prize, and was declared to be worthy of publication. The extraordinary difficulties from which the country is suffering renders the production of new books all but impossible. In this instance, however, the substantial sum handed over to the Association for Eisteddfodic purposes, by the Committee of the Neath Eisteddfod, supplemented by a generous donation from the Proprietors of the Western Mail, coupled with the emphatic recommendation of Dr. Lloyd, has induced the Association to incur the present heavy expense of producing the "History of the Puritan Movement in Wales from 1639 to 1653." To all those who have assisted them in the enterprise, including the Neath Eisteddfod Committee and their Secretary, Mr. Philip Thomas, the Proprietors of the Western Mail, Dr. John Edward Lloyd, and particularly the author, Mr. Thomas Richards, who took infinite trouble in seeing his work through the press, and in securing minute accuracy for all his statements, the Committee of the National Eisteddfod Association desire to tender their most grateful thanks. They commend the volume to the serious perusal of all those who value work of real research in the hidden paths of Welsh life and Welsh history.
