An album or commonplace book originally kept at the New Inn, Llanberis. It contains a short sketch of the history of Llanberis, a note on John Closs, who died of exposure on Snowdon in 1805, with lines composed on the occasion by P[eter] B[ailey] W[illiams]; a 'Sonnet to Snowdon' by Miss Locke; odes to Snowdon, 1819; a 'Sketch of Snowdon for the benefit of sojourners at Llanberis' by Colonel Bell; a note on Evan Evans ('Ieuan Brydydd Hir') with an elegy by R. Williams of Vron near Mold, 1790; a sonnet by Kirke White; particulars of ashes carted, 1823-1827; and notes of visitors to the Inn, 1819.

A copy, [19 cent., second ½], in an unknown hand, of 'Pen-y-gwryd', a poem of 14 verses, dated 21 August 1856, written by Charles Kingsley, Tom Taylor and Thomas Hughes.
The verses were entered by the three men in the visitors' book of the Pen-y-Gwryd Inn, Caernarvonshire, at the end of their stay in August 1856. The poem was published in Offerings at the foot of Snowdon; or, Breathings of Indolence at Pen-y-gwryd (Woburn, 1864). The text of the present copy includes a few variations from that published version and may have been copied directly from the visitors' book. The manuscript was apparently sent to J. L. Roget, whose name appears on f. 2 verso.
