A copy of Browne Willis: A Survey of the Cathedral Church of St. David's ... (London, 1717), which belonged in the eighteenth century to Erasmus Lewes and in the nineteenth to David Lloyd Isaac, both of whom have added marginalia and notes on fly-leaves. According to a note by Lewes the friend who supplied Browne Willis with material for the first ninety pages was a Dr. Edwards who lived under that name at Carmarthen though his real name was Dr. Wotton (i.e., William Wotton, 1666-1726, D.N.B., lxiii, 61-3).

Willis, Browne, 1682-1760
