  • [c. 1842].

A copy, made about 1842, of a journal, in verse, of a tour or sojourn in South Wales, with a close association with Cilybebyll, together with a collection of poems, including translations from German, by the same anonymous author. The sub-sections of the journal have the following topographical titles: 'Graig Alltwen and the Mumbles', 'Cwm Clic', 'Llanguicke', 'Llyn-y-Fan', 'Coed-y-Brain and Carrig Marie', 'Gelli-Onnen', 'Carrig-Dinas and Cil-Hepste', and 'Plas Cil-y-bebyll'. At the beginning of the volume is a letter in the same hand as the text, signed 'M.E.D.B.' and written from Sevenoaks, 31 August 1838, to James -----, referring to the 'journal' and giving an account of Knole Abbey.
