n Evans, who is described as being 'incorrigibly addicted to strong drink,' was Curate of Llanvair Talyhaern, in Denbighshire, and author of _Some Specimens of the Poetry of Antient Welsh Bards translated into English_. London, R. & J. Dodsley, 1764. My friend Mr. Morfill informs me that he remembers to have seen it stated in a manuscript note in a book in the Bodleian, that 'Evan Evans would have written much more if he had not been so much given up to the bottle.' Gray thus mentions Evan Evans in a letter to Dr. Wharton, written in July, 1760:-- 'The Welsh Poets are also coming to light. I have seen a discourse in MS. about them (by one Mr. Evans, a clergyman) with specimens of their writings. This is in Latin; and though it don't approach the other [Macpherson], there are fine scraps among it.' --_The Works of Thomas Gray_, ed. by the Rev. John Mitford. London, 1858, vol. iii, p. 250.
