A draft tract entitled 'Proofes drawne from authorities and other reasons why Cadelh prince of Southwales was the eldest sonne of Roderic the greate (kinge of Wales) and that he and his issue after him had a superioritie over the rest of Wales and his two bretheren and the descendantes from them' by, and in the autograph of, Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt. The substance of this tract was subsequently incorporated in Vaughan's British Antiquities Revived (Oxford, 1662). The volume contains both the arguments and answers set forth by Vaughan and therefore differs considerably from Peniarth MS 277 which contains only the arguments.
Pasted inside the front cover is a short description of the volume in the form of a cutting from Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge’s Sale Catalogue of the Mostyn Library (1919), p. 22.

A collection of twenty-one sermons by, and in the autograph of, the Rev. Micah Thomas, first Principal of the Abergavenny Baptist Academy. These sermons were written in 1817-1819 and were delivered by him at Abergavenny during that period and also in 1842-1851. Loosely inserted in the volume is another autograph sermon which he delivered at Abergavenny on Sept 26, 1819. Paper; 178 ff., unnumbered; 164x103; diced sheepskin.

Commonplace book mainly containing proverbs and original and transcribed sermons in English, Latin and Greek. The following inscription appears on the fly-leaf:-'M ... Edwardi Warreni de Wormington in Comit Gloucestrio Anno Doni 1664 Anno Etatis 23'. A short description of the volume, in the form of a cutting from a sale catalogue, is loosely inserted. According to this description, the author appears to have been a Puritan of the Cromwellian period. A note, however, in the margin of this cutting [by Albert Addams-Williams] refutes this suggestion on the ground that the volume contains a sermon based on the martyrdom of Charles I. Paper; 252 pp., unnumbered; 142 x 89;; tooled calf.

Volume lettered 'Chandless Alphabet of Arms', containing the arms of the gentry of Yorkshire, Shropshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Merionethshire and Montgomeryshire; pencil, pen-and-ink, and coloured reproductions of some coats of arms; and miscellaneous verses including a long poem entitled 'Memorials of Mortalities'. This volume was formerly Phillipps MS. 11201. Paper; 37 ff., unnumbered; 171x 114; full calf with gilt tooling.

As far as can be ascertained from internal evidence these tours were undertaken in 1796. A sale catalogue cutting, pasted on the inside front cover of the first volume, states that the work is in the autograph of Sir Richard Colt Hoare. Portions of it, however, are in a different hand. The work has all the appearances of a draft, some paragraphs being deleted and copious additional notes inserted. The volumes have been assembled and bound in a very careless manner, individual folios and even complete sections being misplaced. The work is divided into chapters which have been numbered at a later date. The first volume contains sections XVI-XX, 20, XXII, and the second volume sections XXIII-XXV, 26. These numbers, as well as the existing pagination, suggest that the work is incomplete. Paper; 424 ff., many of which are numbered; 242 x 193; full sheepskin; 2 vols.

With one exception (NLW MS 17003D, pp. 14-16)these were published in The Works of the Right Honourable Sir Chas. Hanbury Williams, K.B (1822). Sir Charles was the son of John Hanbury, Fontypool, and was M.P. for Monmouthshire from 1734 until 1747. His daughter and co-heiress Frances married William Anne Holies Capel, 4th Earl of Essex. A note by Albert Addams-Williams on the fly-leaf of NLW MS.17003D states that these two volumes were purchased at the Earl of Essex's sale. Inserted in MS.

Account of the resolutions of Parliament concerning contested elections in the boroughs of Abington, Agmondesham, Aylesbury, Alburrough, Andover, Ashburton and Arundell during the period 1624-1708/9. The format of the volume and the alphabetical arrangement of its material shows that it is very incomplete. [This may be the work of Thomas Carew of Crowcombe, Somerset, M.P. for Minehead, 1739-1747, who published 'An Historical Account of the Rights of Elections' in 1755. This work is described in The History of Parliament as a 'compilation of all the reports of the elections committees of the House of Commons']. A volume certainly belonging to Carew in this collection is NLW MS 17070E. Paper; pp. 1-83; 313 x 200; full parchment.

Transcript of a tract entitled 'Modus tenend[i] Parl[iamenturn] apud Anglos' by Hen[ry] Elsyngle]. This tract is probably the work of Henry Elsynge, senior, clerk to the House of Lords [see Wood, Athenae, Vol. III p. 364]. It was from this tract that his son, Henry Elsynge, junior, probably derived his 'Modus tenendi Pariiamenturn, in two Bookes' [see NLW MSS 17204-26E and Harleian MS. 1342] which was first published after his death in 1660 under the title of The Antient Method and Manner Of holding of Parliaments In England.
