LEWIS, historian, was responsible for several early pioneer works on Welsh agrarian and social history. The Mediaeval boroughs of Snowdonia (1912) established principles for later work on the growth of municipal institutions in Wales. Some years earlier there had appeared ' The decay of tribalism in North Wales ' (Trans. Cymm., 1902-3), an impressionistic study revealing considerable insight, together with some studies in Welsh commercial history which foreshadow the best known work of Lewis 's later years - Welsh port books.
