Scope and content
A collection of twenty-seven small notebooks or booklets, twenty-six containing sermons, in Welsh with one exception, written by various eighteenth century authors, one containing a theological catechism (incomplete) in English. Several of the booklets, some of them numbered, appear to be in the hand of the Reverend Watkin Jones, who was curate of Llanberis, Caernarvonshire, c. 1752-63. An interesting feature concerning this group is that the paper on which the semons have been written includes bills, printed items and letters, among them five letters, 1751-3, from [the Reverend] Evan Owen, 'vaner near Dolgelle [sic]', [rector of Llanberis], and one, 1759, from [the Reverend] Maurice Williams, Dolwyddelan. The remaining booklets are in various hands: one, containing two sermons preached at Clynin [sic] (probably Llangelynnin) and Llanegrin, etc., 1780-5, has the words 'by H. Jones Maesgalasau' written on the first page, another notebook bears the legend 'Robt. Roberts Ejus Manus', and the only English sermon in the collection was preached at Minsterly and Shelve [Salop], 1726 and 1730.
