'A Tomb-Stone' by H. Idris Bell, [1947], concerning a child's grave in Aber churchyard, Caernarvonshire.

A copy, [19 cent., second ½], in an unknown hand, of 'Pen-y-gwryd', a poem of 14 verses, dated 21 August 1856, written by Charles Kingsley, Tom Taylor and Thomas Hughes.
The verses were entered by the three men in the visitors' book of the Pen-y-Gwryd Inn, Caernarvonshire, at the end of their stay in August 1856. The poem was published in Offerings at the foot of Snowdon; or, Breathings of Indolence at Pen-y-gwryd (Woburn, 1864). The text of the present copy includes a few variations from that published version and may have been copied directly from the visitors' book. The manuscript was apparently sent to J. L. Roget, whose name appears on f. 2 verso.

Watts, Poetical Sketches... and Other Poems, 3rd edn with additional poems (London, 1824), pp. 155-157, where it comprised six verses; it was collected in Alaric A. Watts, Lyrics of the Heart: With Other Poems (London, 1851), pp. 275-276, as five verses (the fourth having been omitted). The poem was composed in 1819 (see Watts (1824), p. 157).
