Pedigree, dated 1687, of Richard Herbert of Dolforgan, Kerry, Montgomeryshire, containing nineteen coats of arms, all painted, tracing Herbert's lineage, in the male line only, through fifteen generations, [?spuriously] from King Henry I and his son Herbert [?recte Henry] fitz Roy.
Husbands and wives are recorded in roundels beneath their impaled coats of arms; additional coats have been included to represent Herbert's wife's parents and maternal grandparents, and his daughter. Three generations have been added to the pedigree in a different hand (without heraldry), while further additions have been roughly sketched in pencil, [18 cent., last ¼]. Eight roundels have been left empty. The compilers of the pedigree are not named, however the Rev. John Jenkins (Ifor Ceri) ascribes it to Morris Evans of Llanfyllin, antiquary, and 'John Richardson, Herald Painter' (see NLW MS 1655B, f. 8; the repetition of this attribution alongside other pedigrees in the same volume (f. 13 verso) may cast doubt on its accuracy however). A dedication at the foot of the pedigree lists the authorities consulted (in NLW MS 1655B, f. 9 verso, Ifor Ceri appends the same list to a different pedigree altogether).

Scrapbook, 1885-1892, compiled by the amateur actor Augustus Spalding, a close friend and supporter of the opera singer Adelina Patti, containing press cuttings, photographs, printed items, letters and ephemera.
The volume contains material relating to Patti's wedding to Ernesto Nicolini (ff. 11 verso-12 verso, 12c, 13), various charity concerts in Swansea and Brecon (ff. 17-20, 30-31 verso, 41a-b, 42-43, 81-84 verso), her tour of South America in 1888 (in particular Buenos Aires and Montevideo) (ff. 32 verso-36, 39 verso-41 verso), engravings of Craig-y-Nos Castle (ff. 43 verso-45), her birthday party, 19 February 1889 (ff. 50 verso-51), performances at the Patti Theatre, Craig-y-Nos (ff. 62 verso, 67, 78-80 verso, 85), and the Grand Autumn Concert Tour of 1890 (f. 63 recto-verso), all being events in which Spalding participated. The majority of the material however relates to Spalding's acting activities as a member of the Old Stagers during the annual Canterbury Cricket Week, and with the Windsor Strollers.

A volume containing humorous prose (ff. 4-16 verso) and poetry (ff. 19-33), [1867], by a young woman identifying herself as 'Angelina Workington' (f. 9), for her uncle, 'Slatey Hughes Esquire', as a memento of their visit to Llandudno and the surrounding area in July 1867.
The volume consists of a fanciful prologue (ff. 4-6), followed by equally fanciful accounts of excursions to the Great Orme (ff. 9-10 verso, 12-13 verso) and Capel Curig (ff. 14 recto-verso, 16 recto-verso), and poems entitled 'Ffos Noddyn' (ff. 19-20), 'A Growl from Gelert's Ghost' (ff. 22-25), 'The Streamlet's Song' (ff. 27-29) and 'Excelsior' (ff. 31-33). The manuscript is written mainly in black ink, with some words in red, blue, green and gold paint. In addition there is an illuminated title page (f. 2) and dedication (f. 3), with further illuminations or decorative initials on ff. 4, 8, 9, 16, 19, 22, 31; together with five pen drawings (ff. 7, 11, 15, 17, 22) and a photograph of the Great Orme, Llandudno (pasted in on f. 8). The name 'Angelina Workington' is presumed to be a pseudonym, possibly for Isabella Slater to whom the volume was gifted in 1862 (see f. 1).
