[15:B] Gent. Mag. The origin of the Welsh Society, and the subsequent
charity school, may perhaps be dated from the celebration of
the birth-day of the Princess of Wales, Feb. 1715, when several
distinguished sons of St. David heard a Sermon preached in their native
language, by Dr. Lewis, at St. Paul's, Covent-garden; whence they
adjourned to Haberdashers hall, where, invigorated by repletion, the
Antient British Society was planned for the double celebration of the
Prince's birth-day, and the commemoration of their Patron Saint.
