It is with pleasure that I take this opportunity of offering my warmest thanks to all the Rectors and Vicars of Cardiganshire for the facilities so cordially afforded me for examining the Eucharistic Vessels of their respective parishes. I personally visited the Deaneries of Llanbadarn Vawr, Sub Aeron, and a portion of Ultra Aeron, in 1912, and Lampeter, the remaining part of Ultra Aeron, and Glyn Aeron, in 1913. The format of this volume follows those already issued by me on the subject of Welsh Church Plate.

The parishes will herein be found arranged in alphabetical order, all general references to Hall Marks relate to the London Assay, the Weights are in all cases Troy. Mr. Wilfred J. Cripps' standard work, Old English Plate, has again been of the greatest service. I would express my obligations for much kindness and assistance, to the Rev. Daniel Harries Davies, late Vicar of Verwick and Mount, Mr. J. H. Davies, Cwrt Mawr, Mr. Francis Were, of Stoke Bishop, Bristol, Mr. H. B. Walters of the British Museum, now the leading authority on Bells, Sir Edward Anwyl, Mr. H. Idris Bell, of the MSS. Dept., British Museum, and my brother, the Rev. A. W. Wade-Evans, Vicar of France Lynch, Glos., to whom I am indebted for his Essay on the Primitive Saints of Cardiganshire, etc.

On page 22, lines 7 and 19, for "Llanychaearn" read "Llanerchaeron", and on p. 45, line 22, for "Blelhroid" read "Blethroid".
