Robert Vaughan MSS

Three incomplete manuscripts in the autograph of Robert Vaughan, Hengwrt: (a) An alphabetical list of Welsh personal names and place-names, A-C, with some identifications. Opposite the entry 'Asser mab Efrog cadarn brenhin ynys Brydain', Iolo Morganwg has written 'Wonderful ignorance, in Mr Vaughan of Hengwrt' (22 ff., mutilated); (b) A Chronology of British History from Vortigern to Cadwaladr, followed by what Robert Vaughan terms a 'digression' repairing some errors and explaining some obscure points in the same. In it he refers to a copy of Gildas' Epistle De excidio Britanniae seen by his 'cousin Jon. Jones an antiquary of our countrey' with Sir Robert Cotton, kt and bart. There are also references to 'Coch Asaph'. This essay appears to be a draft and there is a break at p. [18], (17 ff., of which the last two are blank; unnumbered except after the break referred to); (c) A chronicle of Welsh history from 972 to 993 (incomplete). This also appears to be a draft (8 ff., of which the last three are blank).

O(wen) Wynne to Sir Robert Owen at Porkington,

Mr Cressett has just arrived from Ireland where he made the campaign. Is told that he went to Cambridge but does not know where he is there. He sent Owen's letters to the postmaster. Parliament opens very promisingly: they voted addresses of thanks to the King and General and supplies to the uttermost. They have not sat that day. When Owen writes next he should frank his letters.
