Extract

As the Council of the Society hath so far approved of a drawing, which I presented to them, from the Tomb-stone of the Saint to whom the church of Laniestin, in Anglesey, is dedicated, as to have ordered it to be engraved in the Archaeologia; it is incumbent upon me to give the best account I am able of this British Saint.
