Scope and content
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.
