1829, John Jones, A Defence of the Reformed System of Welsh Orthography:[…], Oxford, Oxfordshire: […] S. Collingwood, printer to the University, for the author, →OCLC, page 4:
The Eisteddvod has not, however, been altogether inactive,—we are indebted to it for presenting us with several excellent prize compositions, both in poetry and prose; and as the subject of one of its essays, viz. that on Welsh orthography, is of peculiar interest to the Welsh writers of the present day, I have thought proper to select it for my present treatise, that I might offer a few observations upon it, and so become instrumental, if possible, in establishing the orthography of our language.
