As marginalia or on blank pages, etc., and generally in a later hand than the text of the poems, are various inscribed names (see note below) and memoranda, including a copy of a note signed by Edward David, Evenechtyd.

A note book containing miscellaneous notes entitled 'An Acc[oun]t of some Customs among the Jews particularly them in Barbary', 'Those doctrines & practices [which] are publickly declared in ye Church of Rome & are by ye authority thereof established which are highly derogatory to ye dignity of our Saviour', 'An Illustration of severall difficult texts of Scripture', 'Of Oaths', 'De Baptismati', and 'De Conciliis generalibus' (on the first four general councils of the church); a list of 'The Subscribers to Ruthin Race' [? c. 1730] containing the names of, inter alios, Sir Robert Salusbury Cotton [3rd bart. of Combermere, co. Chester, and Llewenny, co. Denbigh], Sir Walter Wagstaff Baggot [5th bart. of Blithfield, co. Stafford], Sir William Williams [? 2nd bart. of Llanforda, co. Salop], and Watkin Williams Wynn [? son of Sir William Williams aforesaid and later 3rd bart. of Wynnstay]; sermons or sermon notes in English and Welsh; extracts from Latin authors including Horace; and other miscellaneous entries.

A register [compiled by the Reverend Thomas Rowlands, vicar choral of the cathedral church of St. Asaph, [ ]-1683, and comportioner of Llansannan, 1683-?1696] in which are recorded marriages, christenings, and burials which took place within the parish of St. Asaph, and also those of inhabitants of the said parish which took place elsewhere, 1595-1653. Amongst the burials recorded are those of John Tuder of Wickwer ['Sion Tudur', the poet], 5 April 1602, and of three bishops of the diocese of St. Asaph, viz. W[illia]m Morgan, 11 September 1604, Richard [Parry], 28 September 1623, and John Hammer, 24 July 1629. On a blank end paper inserted when the volume was bound is a note stating that 'This Diary of Peter Roberts formerly belonging to my great uncle John Lloyd of Wygfair and Hafodunos [1749-1815, 'The Philosopher'] was rebound by Richard Henry Howard of Wygfair A.D. 1878'. The writer of this note appears to have been under the impression that the present volume was the original manuscript of the chronicle or memoranda book compiled by Peter Roberts, notary public at St. Asaph, for the period ?1595-1646, and known as 'Y Cwtta Cyfarwydd'. The present manuscript, however, is a different work, although a comparison of the two would seem to suggest that Thomas Rowlands's compilation was based upon that of Peter Roberts, with alterations in the order of entries, omissions, etc., for the period up to 1646, and additional entries for the years 1647-1653.

A 'Tyth Book of the Parish of Llangernew' [co. Denbigh] for the period 1749-1769. The entries on each page are entered in columns headed-No. of Lambs; Persons' Names; Duties; Lambs had; Paid by them; Paid by us; Account; Wool; Lactuals; Colts; and Arrears.

A rental of the Hafodunos estate belonging to John Lloyd, Esq., for the year ending Michaelmas 1787, with statements of individual tenants' accounts with regard to rents then due, and a statement of accounts between Thomas Williams [?as agent for the estate] and John Lloyd for the period June 1787 to May 1788.

A note book containing an account of a visit to Edinburgh and of a journey thence southward into England through Haddington, Dunbar, Prest, Berwick, Belford, Alnwick, Morpeth, Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Northallerton, Rippon, Harrogate and Leeds as far as Halifax, in May and June 1775. The writer describes various places of interest which he had visited including Holyrood House, Alnwick Castle, Rippon Cathedral, and Fountains Abbey, and comments on industrial activity and other features which had drawn his attention in the towns and villages en route. Included also are extracts covering the period 1768-1838 made by ? H[ephzibah] E[mma] Howard 'out of a Diary of Mr. Rob[er]t Wynne of Garthewin'. These contain frequent references to members of the Griffith family of Carreglwyd, Anglesey, and of the Lloyd family of Hafodunos and its related families of Clough, Conway, etc.

An account book containing entries covering the period 1704-1755 referring, inter alia, to the setting of demesne and other lands in Efenechtid [co. Denbigh], to the setting of the [rectorial] tithes of the parish of Derwen [co. Denbigh], and to rents (including rents for tithes set) and tithe received in the latter parish. It is probably partly in the hand of the Reverend John Conway, rector of Derwen, circa 1718-1744. Some post-1744 entries refer to sums of money due to the Reverend William Conway and sums received as due 'to my late uncle John Conway'. These may have been added by the Reverend William Conway, son of Benjamin Conway, vicar of Northop (1717-1748) and warden of Ruthin (?1713-1748), and nephew of the aforementioned John Conway of Derwen. A loose leaf bearing copies of the coat of arms of the said Ben[jamin] Conway has been inserted at the end of the volume.

A household account book recording, month by month, sums expended on food, clothing, household utensils, servants and casual labourers' wages, local travelling, etc., during the years 1763-1775, 1777-1779, 1780 (incomplete), 1781, 1782 (incomplete), 1783 (incomplete), 1784 (incomplete), and 1785. The frequent references to turnpike tolls paid in visiting Ruthin may indicate a residence in that area. Also mentioned in connection with turnpike payments or otherwise are Bodfari, Denbigh, Derwen, Hafodunos, Llanruth, Llanrwst, Northop, Plasnewydd, Plasriffith, Rudland, Soughton, etc. The hand bears a close resemblance to that of the writer of the first two letters in NLW MS 12413C, i.e. M. [possibly Mary] Lloyd, aunt of Phoebe Lloyd and consequently of John Lloyd ('The Philosopher') of Hafodunos. At the end of the volume a loose leaf written in a different hand and recording 'Money layed out at Plascoch' in September 1786 has been inserted.

An account of rents received, 1727-1748, from the tenants of Wickwer demesne and of other tenements and lands on the Wickwer estate. Loose papers inserted in the volume include a translation into English of Horace, Ode XXXVII (Book I), a letter from Will[ia]m Williams from Llanrwst, to John Lloyd at Havodunos, 17 September 1751, enclosing an account of sums due to the writer (endorsed with a receipt), and a letter from R.

There are references to, inter alia, meals taken with Sir Joseph Banks and his family in Soho Square, the company at Sir Joseph's house, dinners at the Royal Society Club with names of members present, an introduction to Mr. [John] Pond, the recently appointed astronomer royal, conversations with bishop [Samuel] Goodenough of Carlisle concerning [ William] Aitoun's work Hortus Kewiensis, with Mr. [?Jesse] Foote concerning medical matters, and with Mr. [Thomas Andrew] Knight on horticultural topics, an account by Sir [William] Sidney Smith of some French officers he had known and of engagements at Acre and Mount Carmel, attendances at lectures [on electricity] given by Mr. [George John] Singer, comments by l'Abbe de Vey on [Hyman] Hurwitz's work on Hebrew grammar, information from Governor [William] Bligh ['Bligh of the Bounty', who had been Governor of New South Wales, 1805-?1808] about the impending court martial concerning the 'Port Jackson Business', and the proof sheets of Mr .
