460 A TOUR ROUND NORTH WAtES, 



from the tub in which it was fermenting. 

 I have had occafion to remark throughout 

 the whole of my tour, that this occurs 

 but too frequently at mofl of the fmall inns 

 in Wales, and the labouring people do not 

 feem to care about drinking it in this ftate > 

 if it has but the name of Civri&t it feems 

 quite fufficient. 



Edward Jones, the man who lives at 

 this houfe, in the winter teaches a fmall 

 fchool, and during the fummer feafon per- 

 forms the office of guide from hence to the 

 fummit of Cader Idris. He is a moft 

 talkative man, and is certainly efteemed 

 a very great fcbolard. I fmiled feveral 

 times at his attempts to {how off his learn- 

 ing and abilities, and in fo obfcure a 

 Situation I really thought thefe excufable. 

 This houfe being fituated by the road fide, 

 immediately beneath Cader Idris, is a very 

 convenient place for travellers coming from 

 Machynlleth to Dolgelle, to afcend that 



mountain
