A composite volume compiled by John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd') containing press cuttings, pedigrees (transcribed in part from manuscripts of Owen Griffith, Llanystumdwy, Ebenezer Thomas, ('Eben Fardd') and Ellis Owen, Pant Phylip, Llangelynin), and miscellaneous papers, including pedigrees in various hands and letters, some pasted in or inset, others loose. The correspondents include Owen Evans, Broom Hall, 1875, R. O. Williams, Bangor, 1846 (copy), Edw. H. Owen, Ty Coch, [18]93 and 1896, and Jno. E. Griffith, Bangor, [19]10. There is material, chiefly press cuttings, concerning Richard Lloyd Edwards, Nanhoron, Rowland Jones, Broom Hall (also known as Rowland Jones, Weirglodd Fawr) and his father, Rowland Jones the philologist, Sir Love Jones Parry, Madryn, and others. One or two items in the volume appear to be in the autograph of Ebenezer Thomas ('Eben Fardd') and the loose papers include a pedigree of Ucheldref, Gwyddelwern in an early eighteenth century hand (damaged). Another pedigree headed 'Llannerch fawr' is dated 'Machynlleth Feb. 1861' and is connected with the Reverend John Evans (1815-91), afterwards archdeacon of Merioneth (?transcript), and the volume also contains one or two notes in the autograph of Jonathan Jones, Caernarvon. Letter 'U' on spine.

A holograph essay on 'Llên y Werin Sir Gaerynarfon. Wedi eu casglu ynghyd o Gof, o Glywed, ac o Lyfrau', by 'Hengof'. A note added after the pseudonym identifies the writer as William Jones ('Bleddyn') [antiquary and local historian], of Llangollen. The title-page bears the date 5 July 1880, and the essay was submitted for competition at the National Eisteddfod of Wales for that year, held at Caernarvon. Newspaper cuttings giving the adjudication of archdeacon John Evans [archdeacon of Merioneth], on the seven entries submitted, have been pasted in at the beginning of the work. The rubber-stamp impression of the National Eisteddfod held in London, 1887, is to be found on pp. 117 and 186.
