Casgledig gan Ebenezer Thomas, Clynnog, Hâf 1843.' At the beginning of the volume are 'A Map of North Wales' [Anglesey and West Caernarvonshire] and a list of the contents to p. 69. More than half of the volume is blank but the written pages after p. 69 contain, among other things, details of 'Villas [Vills] in Eifionydd' ('Abridged from a letter of the Rev. J. Jones Llanllyfni to Ellis Owen Esq. Cefny meusydd'), pedigrees of Rhwngyddwyryd (Dolbenmaen), Rhiw and Bodfel (Llŷn), and Cefn Coch in Anglesey, etc., 'Carol Nadolig, 1859 - ar "Diolch i Ti yr Hollalluog Dduw &c"' by E.

Roberts, Hendre, Abereirch sent by him to Eben Fardd, 24 July 1861, and a printed prospectus, undated, of 'The Works of the Bards of Llyn and Eifionydd, collected by Myrddin Fardd'. Loose between pp. 27 and 28 are notes by J. Jones, Llanllyfni, May 1844, headed 'A. D. 1352. Hanes ardrethol Cwmmwd Isgorfai', and pasted on to these or vice versa is a printed sheet concerning Gwydir Chapel, Llanrwst (J. Jones, Printer, Llanrwst). Facing the title-page of the volume is a label bearing the words 'Llyfr Achau ac Arfbeisiau y 5 Llwyth Breninol a 15 Llwyth Pendefigol Gwynedd ynghyd au Disgynyddion, &c.' and above it John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd') has written 'Costiodd y Llyfr yma i mi ddwy bunt heblaw talu am ei rwymo wedi hyny.'

An imperfect, quarto volume inscribed on the outer cover 'Pedigree and historical account of ye Family of the Wynnes of Gwydir'. The contents consist of a late eighteenth century text of the well-known 'History of the Gwydir Family' by Sir John Wynn of Gwydir, and, as addenda, brief pedigrees of the Wynn family of Gwydir and its collateral branches, memoranda relating to some of the persons named in the pedigrees, and an incomplete copy of the summons from Henry Tudor to John ap Meredith [of Ystymcegid] to join him on his march from Milford [Haven] to oppose Richard III (already transcribed in full in the text of the 'History'). A few of the folios containing the addenda appear to be in a hand different from that of the 'History' itself, and there is some duplication of pedigrees. Inset is a loose sheet of paper containing ?a transcript of an inscription [in Gwydir Chapel in the parish church of Llanrwst] recording the erection of the said chapel by Sir Richard Wynne [son of the author of the 'History'] in 1633, and tracing the descent of Sir Richard and his brothers and sisters from Owen Gwynedd (see also Wynnstay MS 121).
