A manuscript volume, [1825] (watermarks 1822, 1824), containing autograph drafts of poems, some of Welsh interest, by John William Bythell, attorney, of Shoplatch, Shrewsbury, with numerous emendations and deletions in pencil.
A few of the poems had previously appeared in The Salopian Journal and the Shrewsbury Chronicle; many were later published in his Salopia, The News-Room and Other Poems (London & Shrewsbury, 1841). Included is a parody of a poem by Thomas Moore (pp. 18-20).
