A volume of manuscript sermons in English, numbered '23' on the spine. The sermons are numbered 293-302 inclusive and are probably the work of Hugh Owen (1761-1827), archdeacon of Salop in the diocese of Lichfield, 1821-7. One or two of the sermons appear to have been used by another at Wellington and Preston, 1837-40. A line-engraving of Henry Owen, D.D., from The European Magazine, Vol. 28, facing p. 291, appears to be unrelated.

A notebook belonging to J. H. Davies, 63 Chancery Lane, E.C., c. 1897-8, containing references to and extracts from various BM Additional MSS, a list of Welsh books in W. Marsden's collection in King's College, London, notes relating to Welsh printed books, extracts relating to Wales from printed books, etc.

A volume containing items of verse, etc. (French, Latin, English, Spanish), not all by Thomas Powell, with a reference to the transit of Venus over the sun, 3 June 1769, as observed at Clapton. A later item lists recitations at North Walsham Grammar School, June 1853.

A volume containing observations 'On Prefaces' and 'On Lyric Poesy'. The notes in red in the section 'On Lyric Poesy' are described as being by the Reverend Southam of Leigh, Tunbridge (?)Wells.

A composite volume of poetry in strict and free metre by various poets including Mabclaf ab Llywarch, Aneirin Gwawdrwydd [sic], Evan Evans ('Ieuan Brydydd Hir'), [Robert Williams] 'Robert ab Gwilym Ddu', [David Owen] 'Dewi Wyn', [Griffith Williams] 'Gyttun Peris', [Richard Jones] 'Gwyndaf Eryri', [William Edwards] 'Gwilym Padarn', [Owen Williams] 'Owain Gwyrfai', [Evan Prichard] 'Ieuan Lleyn', [David Thomas] 'D[afydd] Ddu o Eryri', John Davies and Michael Prichard. The contents also include a list headed 'The Names of some of the most Ancient Bards and Historians and the Time wherein [sic] they Flourished'. The lettering on the spine reads 'Llyfr Ieuan Lleyn, 1799' and the volume, except for the last five folios, appears to have been written between 1799 and 1822. The last four folios are partly in the hand of D. Silvan Evans and the folio immediately preceding them is probably earlier in date than 1799 and may belong to Cwrtmawr MS 513B, Part II.

A small volume containing 'cywyddau' and 'englynion' by Siôn Tydyr, Sr. Owen ab Gwilim, Dr Sion Cent, Owain Gwynedd, Morys Roberts, Edward Morys, Sion Brwynog, David Jones Ficer llannfair dyffryn clwyd, David Lloyd, Robert fâb Rhys Wyne o Rianog, Edmund Price Archdiagon Meirionith, Sion Phylipp, Wiliam Cynwal, Rowland Jones, Dafydd ab Gwillim, Hugh Griffith ['o Benselfania'], 1702, Tydyr Aled, Rhys Gôch or Eryri, Hugh Machno, Robin ddu, Evan dyfi, Griffith ab Ephrame, Ifan Dewlwyn, Huw Morys, Griffith (ap Ieuan) ab Llenn fychan, John Davies 'o fron wion', Bedo Aurdrem, J.

The volume is almost entirely in the autograph of Margaret Davies [Coetgae-du, Trawsfynydd]. The 'cywyddau' have been numbered, possibly at a date later than the time of writing, and it appears that several folios are wanting at the beginning. The initials 'P. W.' or 'P. Wm.' sometimes occur at the end of a 'cywydd' near the name of the poet.

A volume containing a few pages of accounts ('Money in Agent's hands', 'Money drawn'), 1805-16, written by a person apparently connected with the Navy, giving details of personal pay, compensation, etc. At the reverse end, following an account of 'Expences' [sic], April - July 1806, is a draft or copy of a letter signed 'Wm C, Sheerness, Augt. 6'.

A composite volume, written in several hands, containing a list of 'oils, ointments, and plasters, with their uses'; 'Cyngor yr hen Gyrys' [cf. Bbcs ii, 9]; 'Agoriad byr Ar weddi'r Arglwydd' (partly in verse); an imperfect text of 'Chwedlau Odo' ('Dammhegion a scrifenwyd ar femrwn ynghylch y flwyddyn, oedran Crist, 1300'); an account in Welsh of some of the feast days, written after 1660 in an unusual orthography, 'Hynod betheu Iessu Xt. ar ei ddiwedd'; verses entitled 'Ymgomio rhwn [sic] y claf o'r Darfodedigaeth Ai Glwyf' attributed in a later hand to Hugh Moris, and 'Dyriau a wnaed wrth : 139 : psalm Ar Fessur arall'; 'Carolau a Dyriau Duwiol' [cf. Carolau a Dyriau Duwiol (1696), pp. 5-11, 14-34]; Scriptural references; sermon notes (in English); hymn stanzas; and copies of one or two parish certificates and other documents,' c. 1709-10, in which the parishes of Llangynog and Llanllawddog, Carmarthenshire and Cilcennin, Cardiganshire are mentioned. There is some confusion in the pagination here and there: e.g. p. 79 should follow p. 10 and p. 83 should follow p. 76. The end-papers are a folio from a seventeenth century printed book. Inset at the beginning of the volume is a letter, 1924, from D. Lleufer Thomas, Whitchurch, Glamorgan to J. H. [Davies] concerning the manuscript, and a slip of paper with notes in the autograph of J. H. Davies.

A small notebook bearing the name of 'Evan Evans, Trefriw, Carnarvonshire' [i.e. 'Ieuan Glan Geirionydd'; 1795-1855] containing Welsh, Greek and Latin vocabularies. The cover appears to be part of printed proposals for a Family Bible, 1814, and the contents appear to be of about the same date.

A copy of a register of births and baptisms belonging to Bethel Independent Chapel, Mold, Flintshire, 1813-63. The successive ministers of the church during this period were Benjamin Powell, Robert Williams, Rhes-y-cae and Isaac Harries. Isaac Harries was ordained there in July 1825 and he remained at Bethel until his death in 1864. Others who are named as having officiated at baptisms are the Reverend M. Jones, Merthyr, Mr P. Griffiths, Llanrwst, the Reverend W. Williams, Wern, T. Jones, Newmarket, B.

Griffith, Manchester, Thomas Lewis, Pwllheli and Builth, William Rees, Mostyn, the Reverend Jonathan Davies, Evan Price, Ruthin, the Reverend Lewis Everett, D. W. Jones, Holywell and the Reverend Henry Lewis, Llanidloes. A note among the entries for 1837 reads 'The original register was sent to The Secretary of State Home Department White Hall London, April 29 1837'. There are no entries between 1838 and 1852. The volume is written in the same hand throughout (?that of Isaac Harries). At the end of the volume there is a copy in a different hand of part of a letter written from The Cross, Mold, 13 November 1866, concerning Alltamy colliery, [Flintshire].

Yr ail argraffiad, wedi ei ddiwygio (Caerlleon: M. Monk, 1825), under the title 'A Grammar of the Welsh Language ...'. The translation is subscribed 'T. N. Sep' 21st 1838' (p. 80).

A composite volume containing poetical compositions in strict and free metre by, and in the autograph of, Ebenezer Thomas ('Eben Fardd'). The wording on the title-page of the first part of the volume is 'Cyfansoddion Barddonol gan Ebenezer Thomas, Clynnog. 1843' but some of the items in the section are later than this date. The remainder of the manuscript appears to consist of two other sections, the one containing miscellaneous poems, some dated, c. 1833-60, the other containing 'Y Cleopiad', 1847, and a number of 'englynion'. Alterations and interlineations have been made in some of the poems. Besides the Welsh poems - many of which, though not all, are included in Gweithiau Barddonol, &c. Eben Fardd [?1873] - the volume contains a few items of English verse. There are also one or two printed items, including a sheet of harvest hymns entitled 'Hymnau Cynauaf' by Ebenezer Thomas, 1843 (Caernarfon: Argraffwyd gan James Rees).

Transcripts of fifteen letters, 1783-94, from the Reverend Peter Williams (1723-96) to his sons, Eliezer Williams and Peter [Bailey] Williams (see also Cwrtmawr MS 181A). The originals of thirteen of the letters are to be found in NLW MS 18262E and the original of one letter, dated 19 May 1789, is in Cwrtmawr MS 940B.

Two bound volumes made up of bibliographical notes by, and in the autograph of, the Reverend Owen Jones (1833-99), Liverpool and Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain, relating to books, 1551-1807 (474C, 1551-1771; 475C, 1772-1807), almost all of which appear to be in his possession. The notes are arranged according to a set pattern and contain important information about the Owen Jones Collection.

A composite volume largely in the autograph of Ebenezer Thomas ('Eben Fardd') containing pedigrees (John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd') has marked some items, e.g. Llwynhelyg, Cwningaer, Robert ab Gwilym Ddu, John Wynn Morris of Wmwlch & Tyddyn Mawr); lines of verse (?incomplete) beginning 'My friend and I, on one autumnal morn ...' containing a reference to visiting John Thomas ('Siôn Wyn o Eifion'); the beginning of a translation of 'Awdl Elusengarwch' (Dewi Wyn [o Eifion]) under the title 'Charity'; a copy of a letter, 1854, from Ebenezer Thomas to the Reverend M.

Interpersed are items of poetry by Eben Fardd, some in the form of press-cuttings, together with some loose papers (e.g. a copy of a letter to the editor of the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald, [1849], and a list of 'Friends and correspondents') and printed matter (e.g. circulars relating to a proposed testimonial to [David Williams] 'Alaw Goch', and to the Aberffraw Eisteddfod of 1849). The volume also contains one or two entries in the hand of John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd').

Jones, Ramoth, both written from Y Garreg Fawr [Llanfrothen], the one in Welsh, 25 February 1819, to Mr John Roberts, Bryn Isa [or Bryndeunydd Isa], Llannefydd, the other in English, 17 January 1806, to an unnamed person (end wanting). [According to David Williams, Cofiant J. R. Jones, Ramoth (Caerfyrddin: W. Morgan Evans a'i fab, 1913), pp. 810, 820, both letters are addressed to John Roberts, Bryndeunydd.].

A volume (212 pp., several of which are blank) originally intended for use as a ledger, written in several hands and containing accounts, 1766-8 (webs, rye, butter, barley, etc. [?Dolgellau district, with references to Penllyn and Trawsfynydd]); a few medical recipes; stanzas of verse beginning 'Gwrando' nghariad ar fy nghwynion ...'

Five uniformly bound notebooks numbered 1-5 containing a collection made by John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd') of the poetical works of Owen Gruffydd, Llanystumdwy (d. 1730), transcribed from Peniarth MS 124 (see 502 and 505), NLW MS 799 and other sources (?NLW MSS 18 and 11816, etc.), together with some printed items and (in 503) a few 'englynion' by William Elias. The lists of contents at the beginning of 503 appear to relate to Cwrtmawr MS 467 and NLW MS 799 respectively.

A composite volume written almost entirely in the autograph of Evan Prichard ('Ieuan Lleyn' or 'Bardd Bryncroes'; 1769-1832), with some additions by John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd').

Between part I and part II are some items (press cuttings, poetry, etc.) inserted by John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd'), including 'Gwaith Siarl Marc'. Preceding a number of blank pages are two letters from Ieuan Lleyn to Siôn Lleyn, the one undated (?copy), the other written in 1791 from Ty Mawr to Mr John Roberts at Rhyd y clafrdy, Lleyn, containing lines in the 'cywydd' metre by 'Ieuan Fardd Bryncroes' (another of the bardic names used by Ieuan Lleyn).
