Ten sermon notebooks of the Reverend Hugh Pugh, Mostyn.

An imperfect volume of sermons, written in two hands. On the inside upper cover is the inscription 'E Libris How : Powell II : B'. This owner may be identified with Howell Powell (died 1736), rector of Llangattock-nigh-Usk, and the second half of the volume may be in his hand. The inside upper cover contains an incomplete list of contents.

A composite volume comprising two notebooks, each containing a sermon [by Richard Richards, Caerwys], the one in English, preached at Caerwys in 1823 and 1836, and the other in Welsh, with annotations in another hand.

Welsh sermons.

Four Welsh sermons (in three booklets) preached at various places in Denbighshire and Flintshire, diocese of St Asaph, 1771-1810, viz. Henllan, Llanufydd, Dyserth, Cwm, Rhyddlan, Meliden, Bodfari and Bettws; and a notebook containing three English sermons preached at Melverley, Salop and Llandrinio and Criggion, Montgomeryshire, 1770-81, and (? by another person) at Prees, 1783, and 'House of Industry', 1790. There is no clue to the authorship of either group but the English sermons may be connected with the Reverend John Lewis, who was rector of Hirnant and curate of Llandrinio and Criggion (d. 1782). The vicar of Betws-yn-Rhos from 1799 until his death in (?)1811 was the Reverend Edward Evans.

A volume of sermons or addresses in Welsh on the Lord's Prayer, the Sacraments and the Lord's Supper, 1721-2. Written inside the front cover is a list of religious books, and a note (partly crossed out) at the back reads 'Instituted into Llanstffraid, 1693. Septemb' the 25'. According to NLW MS 1626, one William Herbert was instituted to Llansaintffraid, Cardiganshire, 26 September 1693. Inserted in the volume is a note by J. H. Davies stating that NLW MS 1259 contains sermons in the same hand.

A volume of sermon notes bearing the name 'Richard Foulkes Dimbuch (crossed out) Ebrill 12 1813', above which J. H. Davies has written in pencil 'Richard Foulkes (1784-1823)' [i.e. 'Silas Glandyfrdwy', Baptist minister]. Other items include a few medical and veterinary recipes and some music.

A volume inscribed 'Evan Rowlands's Book July 9 1827' containing holograph sermons, 1827-30, in Welsh and English by the Reverend Evan Rowlands (1792-1861), minister of Capel Helyg and Rhos-lan Independent churches, Caernarfonshire, 1824-29, and of Ebenezer Independent Church, Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, Monmouthshire, 1829-61. One of the sermons is dated 'at Braech [sic] y saint', another 'Tabor', and two 'Loyds Chapel'. Loose inside are a letter in Welsh, 1855, from E. Rowlands, Ebenezer to John Davies, (?) Cantwr, Silo, Abersychan (concerning the readiness of the Reverend Edward Williams, Dinas Mowddy [sic] to preach at Silo) and a sermon in English in the autograph of the Reverend Ebenezer Jones, Ebenezer, Pontypool, presented to [? John Myrddin Thomas] by Mrs Susanah Morgan, Newport, Monmouthshire, daughter of the Reverend Ebenezer Jones. [The Reverend Ebenezer Jones was the predecessor of the Reverend Evan Rowlands at Ebenezer.].

A volume of eight sermons preached during the period 1735-67 largely at Llangynyw, Montgomeryshire. The manuscript is in the hand of Henry Foulks, who was rector of Llangynyw from 1729 to 1746.

Two volumes of manuscript sermons in English, some preached between 1769 and 1805 at Worcester and the vicinity, Leeds, Hutton, Counde, etc., and a few others of later date, including a charge to churchwardens, 1822, delivered again at Salop and Newport, 1825, and another charge (to clergy) delivered at Salop and Newport, 1823. One of the earlier sermons was preached on one occasion at Hartlebury Chapel, May 26 1771, 'on occasion of taking Priests Orders', and another was preached at Hutton, June 22 1788, 'on Occasion of reading in as Rector', and again at Counde, Feb. 8 1789, on the same occasion [i.e. reading in as rector]. The evidence suggests that these earlier sermons are the work of the Reverend Thomas Goodinge, D.C.L. (1746-1816) [see Shropshire Parish Registers, Diocese of Lichfield, Vol. II, Cound, p. iv, and J. A. Venn, Alumni Cantabrigienses, Part II, 1752-1900, Vol. III p. 84]. The later addresses or sermons are probably the work of Archdeacon Hugh Owen (see Cwrtmawr MS 425B). The volumes are numbered 1-2 on the spine.

A volume of manuscript sermons in English, numbered '23' on the spine. The sermons are numbered 293-302 inclusive and are probably the work of Hugh Owen (1761-1827), archdeacon of Salop in the diocese of Lichfield, 1821-7. One or two of the sermons appear to have been used by another at Wellington and Preston, 1837-40. A line-engraving of Henry Owen, D.D., from The European Magazine, Vol. 28, facing p. 291, appears to be unrelated.
