(1925). Morgan's books on Wales, which contained stringent criticisms of Welsh nationalism, were controversial in his day, and this contributed to their failure to bring Vrynwy Morgan critical or financial success. In 1914, Morgan moved from Aberystwyth to Tenby. An attempt was made to secure a Civil List Pension for Morgan, but this was declined in 1923, Morgan receiving only a gift from the Royal Bounty, in recognition of his hardship. Morgan died on 9 August 1925 at his home, Glan-y-Mor, Tenby. He is buried in Tenby Cemetery. A number of his books have been reprinted since his death.
