Scope and content
Scrap book, 1766-1799, of manuscript and printed songs, verses, press cuttings, entertainment programmes and a published speech addressed by the chairman of the Sessions of the Peace at Westminster to the Grand Jury. This speech and several of the other literary compositions are concerned with the threat posed to the British constitution by the French Revolution, 1794-1799; the latter include a song celebrating the Oswestry Rangers, commanded by Major Ormsby. Further verses include celebrations of the coming of age of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, 1770; a copy of the School for Scandal by R. B. Sheridan and On her Brother 's Violin by Mrs Sheridan; a Parody on the Anacreontic Song about a quarrel involving the Bishop of Bangor; a poem mourning the deaths of the Edgell children of Egham [post-1787]; and voting for 'Carlo Khan' [Charles James Fox], 1784. The press cuttings concern, among other subjects, a proposed new charter for the Borough of Helston and Montgomeryshire elections.
