For those wishing to know: this is a later edition, which a great number
of changes, from the one I've just posted as eText 40421. This adds an
Appendix on the Welsh Triads, supposedly translated by Twm Shon Catti [the
name occurs with variant spellings]. There's a whole set of textual
problems with this later edition: although it claims to be by the author
of the original 1828 book the author thinks his book was first published
in 1836. It's riddled with mis-prints and by lacking a full title page
looks suspicously like a pirated edition. Nevertheless it introduces some
new incidents not in the original, and tones down most of the rough plot
edges of the original too.
All the best,
