Volumes containing the printer's copy, apparently made in 1838, of Memoirs of the Early Life and Service of a Field Officer on the Retired List of the Indian Army (London, 1839), being an autobiographical account of the military career in India of Major David Price, Watton, Breconshire, orientalist, to which the editor, Major Edward Moor, has appended a short account of Price's life from the time of his return to Wales in 1806 until his death (NLW MS 23575C, pp. 1325-40), a transcript of the memorial inscription to him in the Priory Church, Brecon (NLW MS 23575C, pp. 1341-2), and a list of errata (NLW MS 23575C, pp. 1343-7); another contemporary copy of the memorial is tipped in on NLW MS 23575C, f. ii. Corrections, emendations and notes by the editor together with notes by the compositor, including details of the print run (NLW MS 23574C, p. 1), are found throughout both volumes.

Annotations also occur in the hand of Gerard Dyke and include another transcript of the memorial (NLW MS 23574C, f. ii) made by him in 1932.
