 As Gerald puts it, "an attention to order now requires that, in this second part, we should employ our pen in pointing out those particulars in which it seems to transgress the line of virtue and commendation".David Powel published an abridged version of "Itinerarium Cambriae" and "Descriptio Cambriae" in 1585 omitting Gerald's negative comments about the Welsh.Due to translations into English, the first being done by Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Bart., and other translations such as in Everyman's Library and Penguin Classics, Gerald's works on Wales are well known today.
