Scope and content
Notebook, dated 1823 (watermark 1819), written for Miss Hester Anne Taylor 'by one of her "Neices"' (p. 88).
The volume includes a transcript of a letter from Lady Ann[e] Erskine to an unidentified recipient (pp. 2-30), a sermon (pp. 31-52) and a short narrative on Welsh preaching, including an example of a sermon by Christmas Evans (pp. 53-61), together with hymns and devotional poems (pp. 62-87) by the Rev. John Marriott (pp. 63-71), Hannah More (pp. 72-73), Bishop [George] Horne (pp. 74-75), T[homas] Moore (p. 82), [Joseph] Grigg (pp. 84-85), Mrs [Anne] Steele (p. 86) and [Thomas] Gibbons (p. 87) amongst others. The manuscript is probably associated with the Taylor family of Carmarthen, prominent local Methodists during the first quarter of the nineteenth century (see also NLW MS 13625A).
