Scope and content
A note-book containing eleven Welsh sermons, 1862-1864, by, and in the hand of, Robert Jones Derfel. At the end of each sermon the author has added his signature and a date, and, on five occasions, a place-name (Clynog, Machynlleth, Maentwrog, and Manchester (2)). These signatures, dates, and place-names were subsequently deleted. At the beginning of the volume is a table of contents, and notes, which could be interpreted as suggestions to an editor or publisher, as to the order in which the author would like to see the sermons published, ? in a periodical.
