Two volumes made up of page-proofs of the 1620 edition of the Welsh Bible (Y Bibl Cyssegr-lan ..., Llundain: Bonham Norton a John Bill, 1620). The lettering on the spine, 'Bibl y Dr Morgan', is inaccurate as the 1620 edition is Bishop Richard Parry's revision of Bishop William Morgan's Bible (1588). Most of the pages are printed on one side of the leaf only. Some of the manuscript corrections are almost certainly in the hand of Dr. John Davies of Mallwyd. Most of the corrections which were not incorporated in the published edition correspond with the list of errata published c. 1672 [?by Bishop George Griffith] as Some omissions and corrections in the British translation of the Bible. A note in manuscript on the reverse side of the first leaf of Genesis is in the autograph of [Rowland Lewis of Mallwyd] (see The National Library of Wales Journal, IX, pp. 495 and Plate IX, 9). The second volume contains a few Welsh prayers written in a contemporary hand, one near the middle of the book of Ezekiel (sig. Ggg6), the others at the beginning of the New Testament.

A small volume written from both ends and containing receipts to Penry Williams, esq., [of Penpont, Brecon] in respect of various charities established by members of the Games family of Newton. At the one end are acknowledgements of the receipt by the twelve 'sisters or ancient women' of Games's Hospital, Brecon, with their signature or mark, 1744-1767, of their quarterly allowance of 10s. each and, 1744-1761, of twelve gowns, i.e. one each annually, allowed them by the foundresses, Madam Elizabeth Walker and Madam Katherine Games of Newton, deceased, and acknowledgements, 1744- 1761, of the receipt by four poor widows or elderly maidens, inhabitants of the town of Brecon and parish of St. David's, with their signature or mark, of two flaxen shifts each, being a charity given annually by Mrs. Elizabeth Walker of Newton, widow, deceased. At the other end, following a list of 'Names of the poor to Receive the Newton monthy [sic] Charity Bread; August 16, 1744', are receipts, 1744-1762, for 20s. per month for the monthly bread given by the Newton family and 20s. for a charity sermon preached at the Collegiate Church of Brecon on 30 August annually, and, 1744-1761, 20s. for the charity bread given at the same church on 30 August each year. A note at the end of this series of entries reads 'vid: red cover book for receits [sic] from hence for bread sermon and shifts'. The volume contains in addition a number of miscellaneous receipt: in connection with work done, e.g. making gowns and petticoats for the almswomen 'glazing work where Jane Brown lives', tiling at Games's Hospital, etc.

Two holograph letters, early seventeenth century, the one [?1610] from Tho: Salusburye [bookseller, etc., in London, 1593-1604], at his house 'in cloth fayer in London', to Sir John Wynne, kt., 'att his house in Gwyder', the other, undated and imperfect, from Wylliam Holland, St. John's Coll: Cambridge, to his brother, Mr. [ ] Holland at P[ennant?] in Eglwyse vaghe. Sir John Wynn was anxious to know whether the Psalms had been translated into Welsh and Thomas Salusbury had sent him 'a coppy of them yt are printed' [i.e. the small volume of Edward Kyffin's Psalms (1603)]. He [Edward Kyffin], according to Thomas Salusbury, had finished about fifty before his death seven years previously in the time of the great sickness [?1603]. The letter also contains mention of Archdeacon [Edmund] Price and of an edition of Camden's Britannia. The William Holland letter relates to family matters and is an attempt to show that he is not unnatural but well-disposed towards his kindred.

An early seventeenth century manuscript containing the first book of the 'Description of Penbrokeshire' by George Owen of Henllys. The date at the beginning of the text, following the list of contents, is 'Lune 13 Decembr' 1602' and at the end is the inscription 'finis 18 Maij 1603' followed by 'Opus iij Mensu[m] Magna per Intervalla'. There are a number of directions to the copyist and Harleian MS 6250, the text edited by Henry Owen in the Cymmrodorion Record Series, No. I (1892), is probably a fair-copy of the present manuscript. There are also marks indicating that George Owen checked the copy in late July-August 1603. Comparison with the text edited by Henry Owen shows that a few sections (underlined or crossed out, etc.) in the present manuscript have been omitted in Harleian MS 6250, viz. the passage in chapter 1 which is quoted by Henry Owen on p. 239 of his edition, n. 1, a paragraph on ff. 23 verso-24 recto (anc. 13 verso- 14 recto) of the present manuscript beginning 'Giraldus Cambrensis writinge of the nature of the people of this Countrye hath these wordes', a list of fish on ff. 65 verso-66 verso (anc. 56 verso-57 verso), and a section in chapter 21, ff. 95 verso- 96 verso (anc. 87 verso-88 verso), beginning '& gave them his said deputies his absolute power to execute all thinges in his absens . . . by the kinges maties [sic] that nowe is kinge James kinge of England Scotland Fraunce & Ireland &c' (cf. Henry Owen, op. cit., p. 167, n. 2). Loose inside is a description of the manuscript by 'H.G .' [? Henry Gough], 19 Dec. 1871.
