The Treachery of the Blue Books or Treason of the Blue Books lang cy Brad y Llyfrau Gleision was the name given in Wales to the Reports of the commissioners of enquiry into the state of education in Wales published in 1847. The term Brad y Llyfrau Gleision was coined by the author Robert Jones Derfel R. J. Derfel in response to the Reports publication. The public inquiry was carried out as a result of pressure from William Williams Radical politician William Williams , Radicals UK Radical MP for Coventry , who was himself a Welshman by birth and was concerned about the state of education in Wales . The enquiry was carried out by three England English commissioner s, R. R. W. Lingen, Jellynger C. Symons and H. R. Vaughan Johnson. The commissioners visited every part of Wales during 1846, collecting evidence and statistics. However, they spoke no Welsh language Welsh and relied on information from witnesses, many of them Anglican clergy men at a time when Wales was a stronghold of Nonconformism . The work was completed by 3 April 1847, and Lingen presented his report to the Government on 1 July of that year in three large blue covered volumes. Their report was detailed. It concluded that schools in Wales were extremely inadequate, often with teachers speaking only English and using only English text books in areas where the children spoke only Welsh, and that Welsh speakers had to rely on the Non conformist Sunday Schools to acquire literacy. But it also concluded that the Welsh were ignorant, lazy and immoral, and that among the causes of this were the use of the Welsh language and Nonconformism nonconformity . This resulted in a furious reaction in Wales, led by Robert Jones Derfel , a bard, whose book length response, Brad y llyfrau gleision was published in 1854 by I. Clarke in Ruthin Rhuthyn it did not have any immediate political implications, although it was instrumental in the genesis of the modern Welsh self government movement.

Henry Thomas Edwards September 6, 1837 May 24, 1884 was a Wales Welsh preacher. He was born at Llan ym Mawddwy , Merioneth , where his father was vicar . He was educated at Westminster School Westminster and at Jesus College, Oxford B.A., 1860 , and after teaching for two years at Llandovery went to Llangollen as his father s curate. He became vicar of Aberdare in 1866 and of Carnarvon in 1869. Here he began his lifelong controversy with Nonconformism Nonconformity , especially as represented by the Rev. Evan Jones Calvinistic Methodist and Rev. E. Herber Evans Congregational church Congregationalist . In 1870 he fought in vain for the principle of allround denominationalism in the national education system, and in the same year addressed a famous letter to Mr. Gladstone on The Church of the Cymry, pointing out that the success of Nonconformity in Wales was largely due to the withering effect of an alien episcopate. One immediate result of this was the appointment of the Welshman Joshua Hughes 1807 1889 to the vacant see of St Asaph . Edwards became dean of Bangor, Wales Bangor in 1876 and at once set about restoring the cathedral, and he promoted a clerical education society for supplying the diocese with educated Welsh speaking clergy. He was a popular preacher and an earnest patriot his chief defect was a lack of appreciation of the theological attainments of Nonconformity, and a Welsh commentary on St. Matthew, which he had worked at for many years and published in two volumes in 1882, was severely handled by a Bangor Calvinistic Methodist minister. Edwards suffered from overwork and insomnia and a Mediterranean cruise in 1883 failed to restore his health and he committed suicide at Ruabon .
