The following has been written on p. 149: 'This Book was given me from Mr. Williams, Dolaugwynion, the executor of the late Rev. J. Williams, Pantycelyn' and, in a later hand, 'Y mae yn ymddangos i mi fod y llinellau uchod wedi eu hysgrifenu gan fy mrawd ynghyfraith, y diweddar John Griffiths, St. Florence, perchenog Pantycelyn, a gorwyr i'r Perganiedydd. Josiah Jones, Machynlleth'. The manuscript was purchased from the Reverend Josiah Jones, whose wife was a descendant of the Reverend William Williams, by Sir John Williams, bart.

Scope and content
A volume, [18 cent.], containing hymns, in Welsh, by and in the hand of the Rev. William Williams, Pantycelyn. Some of the hymns were printed (very inaccurately) by Dr N. Cynhafal Jones in Vol. II of Gweithiau Williams Pantycelyn, 1891; others were published by Williams himself in the Aleluia. A letter written to the Rev. William Williams, Truro, Cornwall, by his brother, the Rev. John Williams of Pantycelyn, dated September 1816, has been inserted into the manuscript.
