EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "William Baxter: The Welsh Scholar and Antiquarian at the Age of 69" William Baxter (1650-1723) was a remarkable figure in the history of Welsh education and linguistics. Born in Wales, he was sent to Harrow School in England at a young age, where he was the only Welsh-speaking student. Despite the linguistic and cultural challenges, Baxter excelled academically and went on to become a noted scholar, linguist, and antiquarian. This image depicts William Baxter in his 69th year, with a wise and thoughtful expression that belies his age. He is dressed in the attire of a scholar, wearing a robe and holding a quill pen and inkwell, ready to delve into his studies. The books and scrolls surrounding him speak to his deep knowledge and passion for learning. Baxter's achievements were numerous. He authored several works on Welsh history, language, and antiquities, including "A Grammar of the Welsh Tongue" and "A History of the Parish of Llansanffraid Glan Conwy." His linguistic expertise extended beyond Welsh, as he was also fluent in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. As an antiquarian, Baxter was deeply interested in the history and culture of Wales. He collected and catalogued ancient manuscripts, coins, and other artifacts, preserving them for future generations. His work helped to foster a renewed appreciation for Wales' rich heritage and contributed to the revival of interest in the Welsh language. Despite the challenges he faced as a Welsh-speaking student at Harrow, William Baxter overcame adversity to become a respected scholar and linguist. His legacy continues to inspire those who value the importance of language, history, and cultural preservation. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on the intellectual landscape of Wales.
