An essay entitled 'O Ddinodedd i Enwogrwydd. John Gibson, R.A., y Mynor - Gerfiwr Cymreig Bydenwog' [From Obscurity to Fame. John Gibson, R.A., the world-famous, Welsh marble sculptor], by the Reverend B. Menai Francis [Congregational minister]. The work had won a prize at an eisteddfod held at Conway, and according to the author's obituary notice in Y Dysgedydd, 1930, pp. 73-8, had been published in an unspecified, Welsh newspaper. The present copy consists of cuttings, printed on one side only, mounted in a note-book. A manuscript list of chapter headings is given at the beginning, and a postcard photograph of the bust of John Gibson in Conway parish church, has been pasted in as frontispiece.

Francis, B. Menai
