Figure 22. [a tipped-in engraving to which Bloomfield appends a note:] I had this engraving from
the Mr Owen, a Bookseller in London. The figure is evidently landing from a Corricle,
and introducing a plough. I should be glad of a translation of the Welch inscription
by any one who may be able. // Celtic Inscription round the verge of the engraving
/ 'Hu Gadarn conducting the Cymry* into the Island of Britain.' / The inscription
beneath the plate. / —'Hu Gadarn upon account of his excellent qualities, was called
the Pillar of the Nation. He first conducted the Cymry into Britain from the land
of Hav or Deffrobani. those who attended were called the gentle tribe, because Hu
would not possess the land by fighting and contention. He was call'd the inoffensive
leader, because he gave his tribe the possession of land in justice and peace—The
Instructor, because he first taught the race of Cymry to plough the land in Deffrobani—the
primary Regulator, because he first settl'd them in society—the inventor of Art, because
he first adopted the Oral art to the preservation of memorial and record.'— / Friends
of the Island of Britain. / *The ancient Welsh,
