A volume, [early 17 cent.], containing a concordance of the Welsh Bible in the hand of Robert Vaughan of Hengwrt. This manuscript was discovered by the Rev. Evan Evans (Ieuan Brydydd Hir, 1731-1788) at Bala in 1765 (see Gweithiau Ieuan Brydydd Hir, p. 199); he intended to print the manuscript at Carmarthen (ibid, p. 205). As a concordance, it is vastly inferior to that of Abel Morgan which was printed at Philadelphia in 1730, and also to that of Peter Williams, published at Carmarthen in 1773.

A book of devotions, c. 1700, containing scriptural texts, prayers and notes, etc. apparently in the hand of William Beveridge, Bishop of St Asaph.

A volume containing Cefncoch MS B, which was printed in full by the Reverend John Fisher and published together with Cefncoch MS A (see NLW MS 279D) (Liverpool, 1899); a full description of Cefncoch MS B appears in the preface to Fisher's combined volume (pp. xiii-xv), which book originally contained copies of Rhann o Psalmae Dafydd by Edward Kyffin (London, 1603) and Psalmae y Brenhinol Brophwyd Dafydh by Captain William Middleton (London, 1603). Cefncoch MS A has now been removed from Fisher's volume and bound separately (see NLW MS 279D).

A bundle of loose papers, 16 & 19 cents, largely containing transcripts and copies of manuscripts; also including a bond, dated April 24 1587, for the payment of #20. A note, dated October 21 1893, by Egerton Grenville Bagot Phillimore, the former owner of the manuscript, states that '"The Hymns of St. Curic", of which a modernised transcript was printed in "Cambro-British Saints" (p. 609) are not here. They were given by Mr. H. W. Lloyd to the late Chevalier Lloyd of Clochfaen, who was unable when applied to by me to trace them.'

A series of thirty-two notebooks of sermons, in English and Welsh, preached in Brecknockshire during the 18th century; the material sheds some light upon the prevalence of the Welsh language in the county at that time.

A collection of sermons, 19 cent., by the Reverend D. Williams, Blaenllynant, Gwynfe, Carmarthenshire.

A volume containing sermons and hymns, in Welsh, 19 cent., by the Reverend David Williams, Blaenllynant, Gwynfe, Carmarthenshire.

The book also contains similar details for the "Gwissaney demeanes", described (p. 70) as "my master's paternall estate". A letter from Phillip Yorke of Erddig to 'Dear Bloady' has been inserted at p. 107 and a letter, dated 8 January 1651, addressed to Robert Davies of Gwisaney and signed by Hugh Thomas, Joseph Roberts and Peter Davies, has been inserted at p. 160. A loose leaf containing a summary of the Gwisaney rentals is at p. 170.

A volume containing an English-Welsh dictionary, c. beginning 18th century. Three englynion by John Rhydderch (1673-1735) are included at the end of the volume (p. 172). It is clear that John Rhydderch made use of this manuscript when compiling his own English-Welsh dictionary (Shrewsbury, 1725), in the preface of which he refers to three manuscript dictionaries, one of which was compiled by the Reverend Erasmus Lewis, vicar of Lampeter; it is therefore possible that NLW MS 321E was written by Erasmus Lewis.

A cantata for voice and piano entitled 'A Temple of Friendship'. There are no indications of authorship.
