As the article below on "How to Pronounce Welsh Names" notes, "One of the great civilising agents of the nineteenth century is the tourist, who, like the roving bee that fertilises the flowers, does his best to break down the barriers of race which distance or a difference of tongues sets up. And the tourist has certainly not neglected Wales. In spite of the outflow of English holiday-makers every summer to Switzerland, the Rhine, and other Continental places of refreshment, there is a large stream also setting in towards Snowdonia, with lesser streams in the direction of the Cader Idris group and Barmouth."
