A composite notebook bearing on the cover the name of Jeffrey Davies [Tirabad, Brecknockshire], 1822, and 'Llyfr III' and containing outlines of sermons, mainly in English, and a few Welsh hymns, etc. One of the hymns ('O Arglwydd rho dy wyneb cu') appears to be by Jeffrey Davies [the Reverend Jeffrey Davies is referred to in John Hughes, Methodistiaeth Cymru (Gwrecsam, 1856), III, 335 : he was ordained at Cardigan Association, August, 1830 and ordained deacon by the bishop of Llandaff, 7 April 1839. At the time of his death in 1844 he appears to have been curate of Cadoxton, Glamorgan (see D. Rhys Phillips, The History of the Vale of Neath, (Swansea, 1925), p. 83].

A collection of notebooks loosely sewn together to form a volume containing holograph sermons mainly if not all by the Reverend Thomas Richards (1754-1837), rector of Darowen. With one exception the sermons are in Welsh. A few are dated, 1817-37, and some noted, in pencil, as being preached at Llangynyw or at Darowen, Llanwddyn (one) and Hirnant (cf. Cwrtmawr MS 268B). The miscellaneous papers include an account of the sale of the effects of [? Mr R. Davies], 20 April 1840 (where localities are given for the purchasers they are mainly from the Llanwddyn area in Montgomeryshire), short treatises on Loyalty and Numeration, a printed circular letter, 1870, from the bishop of St Asaph appealing for donations and annual subscriptions to the St Asaph Diocesan Board of Education, a printed list of subscribers, 1847, to the Powis Testimonial Fund, and one verse entitled 'Carol Plygain ar Falldod Dolgellau 1813'.

Two volumes containing 'Sermons By the Rev. Matthew Henry Copied from the original MSS by Henry James Stedman' between 16 October 1823 and 28 January 1824. The sermons bear the general title 'Reasons for Practical Religion' and correspond to the series described by W. Tong in An account of the life and death of the late Reverend Mr Matthew Henry (London, 1716), pp. 175-6, except that not all sermons are to be found in the transcript (see Vol.I, p. 34n.). The introductory sermon is dated May 10 [16]96 and the series belongs to the period 1696-7.

A manuscript containing holograph sermons, 1820-2, by J. Jones, student at Llanfyllin [Congregational Academy], subsequently at Newtown, Montgomeryshire.

On one of the fly-leaves is a stanza in 'triban' metre to the curate of Llan Gwstennyn.

A notebook containing four holograph sermons of T[imothy] Evans [vicar of Llanbadarn Trefeglwys, Cardiganshire]. The sermons were preached at Llanb[adar]n [Trefeglwys], Kilk[enni]n, Llans[an]tff[rai]d and Henf[ynyw] during the period 1799-[18]14. The upper brown paper cover is inscribed '1799.

A volume in the autograph of Mrs Catherine Edwards, Nanhoron, Llangïan (d. 1811), widow of Captain Timothy Edwards (d. 1780), containing texts and notes of some of the sermons heard by her, 1790-92, at various places, including New Chapel [i.e. Capel Newydd, Nanhoron, with which she was closely associated], Pwllheli, Caernarfon, London, Chester, Manchester, Salop, Gosport, Reading, Bala, Barmouth and Nant Chapel [i.e. Capel y Nant, Llanglan] ('Texts of Scripture which I heard preach upon ... from the 21st of Novemr. 1790' &c by Various Ministers in England & Wales but not all I heard some having been Lost & forgt C Edwards'). The name which occurs most often is that of the Reverend B[enjamin] Jones, Pwllheli ('our Pastor'), but many other prominent Welsh and English preachers are also named. The volume is written at both ends.

A volume of sermon notes in the autograph of the Reverend Christmas Evans (1766-1838). On pp. 584-5 are 'Deisyfiadau C. Evans ar yr Arglwydd Awst 2. 1826. Pan oedd yn cychwyn i Gaerphily'. A note by [J] Spinther [James] facing p. 584 begins 'Dyma'r "Cyfamod" y dywed Cofianwyr Christmas Evans ei fod ar goll' (see also his Hanes y Bedyddwyr yn Nghymru, Cyf IV (Caerfyrddin, 1907), pp. 433-4).

A collection of twenty-seven small notebooks or booklets, twenty-six containing sermons, in Welsh with one exception, written by various eighteenth century authors, one containing a theological catechism (incomplete) in English. Several of the booklets, some of them numbered, appear to be in the hand of the Reverend Watkin Jones, who was curate of Llanberis, Caernarvonshire, c. 1752-63. An interesting feature concerning this group is that the paper on which the semons have been written includes bills, printed items and letters, among them five letters, 1751-3, from [the Reverend] Evan Owen, 'vaner near Dolgelle [sic]', [rector of Llanberis], and one, 1759, from [the Reverend] Maurice Williams, Dolwyddelan. The remaining booklets are in various hands: one, containing two sermons preached at Clynin [sic] (probably Llangelynnin) and Llanegrin, etc., 1780-5, has the words 'by H. Jones Maesgalasau' written on the first page, another notebook bears the legend 'Robt. Roberts Ejus Manus', and the only English sermon in the collection was preached at Minsterly and Shelve [Salop], 1726 and 1730.

Notebooks and loose papers containing notes of sermons by, and in the hand of, the Reverend Hugh Pugh of Llandrillo and Mostyn. Cwrtmawr MSS 985 and 986 appear to have been written during the period 1829-31, when the writer was at Llandrillo, while Cwrtmawr MS 987 was written some time later. There are notes with many of the sermons which indicate that they were later preached a number of times during the period 1837-1868.
