History
Since the revival of learning in Europe, most nations have been emulous of bringing forward their respective stores of ancient memorials, in order to enrich the common stock; but a vast treasure is contained in the Welsh language, in manuscripts, and the oral traditions of the people, of which barely a notice has hitherto been given to the world.

To investigate this hidden repository, and to bring to light whatever may be deemed most rare and valuable, is the primary object of the following work.

<!-- The Cambrian Quarterly Magazine and Celtic Repertory was an English-language quarterly magazine that published articles on Welsh and Celtic history and literature. It ran from 1829 to 1833.

History
The principal founder of the magazine was Rice Pryce Buckley Williames who also served as editor. His co-proprietor was Anthony Ashley Cooper, later Lord Shaftsbury. Thomas Price (bardic name Carnhuanawc) was also a founder. He was a cleric and historian who was instrumental in reviving the Eisteddfod. The magazine was promoted by county court judge Arthur James Johnes.

Noting the failure of previous efforts "to preserve and bring into notice the valuable relics of Welsh genius" because they sought to "interest the minds of Welshmen alone", the magazine's founders hoped to broaden its appeal by "making it interesting and pleasing to the general reader" (i.e. both Welsh and English). The magazine was published in London by H. Hughes from January 1829 and contained "fiction, much material on ancient Welsh legends, essays, poetry, and articles on Irish life and culture, and critical notices." As well as Williames and Price, contributors included John Jenkins, William Owen Pughe, and Sir Samuel Rush Meyrick.

Although it received positive reviews and support in the Welsh and London newspapers,   the magazine closed in October 1833 after a run of five volumes of four issues each. The magazine was also known for a short time in 1832 as The Cambrian and Caledonian Quarterly Magazine and Celtic Repertory. -->
