[26] This anecdote is taken from the _Journal de Paris_, May, 1787;
but whence did the _Journal_ obtain it?
The Dog Gellert.
Having demolished William Tell, I proceed to the destruction of
another article of popular belief.
Who that has visited Snowdon has not seen the grave of Llewellyn's
faithful hound Gellert, and been told by the guide the touching story
of the death of the noble animal? How can we doubt the facts, seeing
that the place, Beth-Gellert, is named after the dog, and that the
grave is still visible? But unfortunately for the truth of the legend,
its pedigree can be traced with the utmost precision.
