The Englishman looks upon the Welshman as a rebel, an awkward individualist, as a man who always wants his own way and is perpetually creating totally uncalled for difficulties.
Does anyone know where he said that and if he discusses Welshness at greater length in print somewhere?

Marc, I have a feeling that very quote is cited in Murray's excellent biog of the Dr. I'd plumb for volume one, but it may be vol two. Both vols have an excellent index, so finding the quote should be easy. I'd look in my own copies but they're back at the flat.
If I recall the Dr had a fair bit to say on welshness at various times. again, the Murray volumes will probably indicate where to chase up more of what he had to say. Towards the end of volume two and also in one of the appendices (on his relationship with Dr Packer) there is a little bit of discussion about the Dr's welshness and how this may/may not have impacted his feeling towards the old CofE.
