An interleaved copy of W. Owen Pughe (ed. Robert John Pryse): A National Dictionary of the Welsh Language : with English and Welsh Equivalents, vol. II (Denbigh, 1873), with copious additions and emendations in the hand of Robert Roberts ('Y Sgolor Mawr'). There are a few insets in the hand of Daniel Silvan Evans.

A printed interleaved copy of William Owen-Pughe: 'A National Dictionary of the Welsh Language': Vol. I, A-D., 3rd ed. (1866), with manuscript notes by D. Silvan Evans.

A notebook of D. Silvan Evans containing an account of money received from Lady Llanover for a dictionary.

An album of annotated autographs, photographs and engravings, printed matter, press cuttings, etc., compiled during the years 1858-1881. The volume is almost entirely devoted to persons who were prominent in the literary and musical life of Wales during this period, and it appears from internal evidence to have been well known to the compiler's friends and contemporaries. The autographs are largely in the form of personal entries, recorded mainly at national and other eisteddfodau, but there are also a number of mounted holograph letters, 'cut-out' signatures from holograph letters, and franks. The writers include Joseph Hughes ('Carn Ingli'), Meltham, Richard Williams Morgan ('Mor Meirion'), Tregynon, John Williams ab Ithel, Llanymowddwy Rectory, Ellis Roberts ('Eos Meirion'), London, Jerome Greene Pym ('Ap Ednyfed'), Inner Temple, Thos.
