In an article upon this work in "Y Traethodydd" for January, 1876, one of the most talented of Welsh critics says: "Mr. Jones has put us under renewed obligations by bringing out the first part of Goronwy Owen's works in a form remarkable for its beauty; and, what is of far greater weight, we do not know that we have ever seen a Welsh book printed with so few errors. . No Welsh author, so far as we can remember, has been so honoured as Goronwy, in having so able an editor to write so large a body of notes to his work."
