A holograph concordance of the Bible by Robert Roberts ('Y Sgolor Mawr'). Several leaves have been cut away, and the early part of the volume has subsequently been used as an album for press cuttings relating to the disestablishment of the Church in Wales and to Mr Gladstone's electoral reform. Beginning from the end is a list of floruits, and in some cases of the works, of mediaeval Welsh bards.
