A smuggler's autobiography,

  • NLW MS 21834B [RESTRICTED ACCESS].
  • File
  • 1811 /

Autobiography, apparently unpublished, of William Owen of Cardigan, 'The Birth, Life, Education and Transactions of Captn. William Owen the noted Smuggler ...', the original having been either written at Carmarthen gaol in 1747 by Owen himself whilst awaiting his execution for murder or dictated by him to the Reverend John Davies, prison chaplain, who has attested that he attended Owen during his confinement (f. 161). It contains an account of his personal life and of his smuggling exploits in the West Indies, in Ireland, and on the western coasts of Britain, with a transcript of his trial (pp. 119-60). The manuscript [watermark 1808] is apparently a copy in the hand of Daniel G. Matthias, whose name is inscribed inside the front cover with the date 12 January 1811. An account detailing expenditure on food and lodging, in a different hand, is found inside the back cover.

A survey of the cathedral-church of St. David's,

  • NLW MS 13265B.
  • File
  • [1728x1770] /

A copy of Browne Willis, A Survey of the Cathedral-Church of St. David's . . . (London, [c. 1730]), being a re-issue of the 1717 edition with a new title-page and supplementary material in the form of a twenty-two page list of churches, dedications and patrons later included in the author's Parochiale Anglicanum (1733). The volume contains copious manuscript additions, emendations and inserts, many of which are probably in the hand of Edward Yardley, archdeacon of Cardigan, quoting information received from various sources, including William Gambold and H[enry] Goffe. A Table of Kings and Queens. . ., being a printed page from an almanac recording the regnal dates of English monarchs from William the Conqueror to George II, is to be found pasted onto a fly-leaf. The present copy lacks the publisher's list which should face the title- page, as well as a plan and plate of the cathedral which should precede page one. The coats of arms between pages 92 to 93 are coloured.

Willis, Browne, 1682-1760
