A list of forty manuscripts of Edward Lhuyd, arranged in four classes: (1) Relative to his travels; (2) Books of drawings; (3) Natural history; and (4) Miscellaneous.

Treatises on infectious diseases and studies of the epidemical constitution of the years 1661-1666, and of part of the year 1669 and the following years, 1670, 1671 and 1672 at London, particularly relating to the cholera epidemic.

'Gervasij Tilberiensis de Scaccarij necessarijs observantijs dialogus tempore Henrici Secundi scriptus', a copy of the dialogue which was formerly ascribed to Gervase of Tilbury, but attributed to Richard Fitzneale, bishop of London, 1189-1198, by Thomas Madox in his History & antiquities of the Exchequer... together with... the ancient dialogue concerning the Exchequer (London, 1711). The manuscript is in the same hand as MS 48 and part of MS 44.

A copy of 'A treatise of the High Cort of Starchamber devided into three generall parts and every parte devided into certaine severall consideracons', by William Hudson (d. 1635) who practised in that court. The text was published by Hargrave in 1792 in Collectanea Juridica from a copy in Harleian MS 1226. This manuscript is a copy as shown by the omission of a line on f. 10a.

There is no indication of the authorship of the treatises, but the manuscript came into the hands of Henry Wynn. The first treatise is concerning the nobility according to the laws of England. This is followed by extracts entitled Regula pro Liberatione Terrarum hors de Gill's Black Book in Chancery; and arguments for the nullification of the marriage of Queen Maria Francisca Isabella to King Alphonse the sixth [of Portugal].

Another copy of the Argument of Sir John Davies (1569-1626), written in two hands, one of which is similar to that of Nos. 40 and 48. This copy differs from MS 43 in that it has a table of contents at the beginning.

'Certes conceipts et bon cases escries et composes per Edmund Plowden vn apprentice de la commen ley in le Middle Temple London'. A short note to the reader is signed 'I.A.'. Towards the end of the manuscript there are later copies of precedents and legal notes in English.

Extracts from law reports in a hand which resembles that of Ellis Lloyd of Rhiwgoch. The name of Owen Ellis is subscribed to a Latin stanza on the fly-leaf, and under it is an epitaph in Latin to Owen Ellis, who died in 1622, by E: Llo: It may be that this Owen Ellis was he of Ystumllyn who fell off his horse by Cricieth, and broke his neck, in 1622.

A miscellaneous collection comprising notes on briefs or writs, extracts from Plowden's Commentaries, reports of cases, and a Latin poem entitled 'In situm Gwidder' by Edmwnd Prys, archdeacon of Merioneth, 12 Jan. 1622. Henry Wynn has scribbled his name on the fly-leaves.

Extracts of the arguments of legal cases heard in sessions 4-11 Charles, 1628-1635. On f. 344 (or 50) is this note: 'Hughe Nanney ruled this book'. He was probably the Hugh Nanney who was sheriff of Merionethshire in 1627 and 1638, and if so he was a first cousin to Ellis Lloyd of Rhiwgoch, the writer of part of MS 68.

A portion of a collection of precedents made, apparently, late in the seventeenth century, and in continuation of MS 72. A few references in the very scanty index prefixed to the volume show that the work did not end with this volume, as pages which number above 2000 are recorded.

A book of legal precedents and a short law dictionary in the making, together with extracts from Year Books.

The volume is described as Henry Wynn's 'Booke of Presidents', and contains precedents for conveyances, bonds, letters of attorney, petitions, appointments, etc. Some of the examples relate to Wales, and include copies of documents referring to Sir Richard Wynn of Gwydir, and the appointment of Henry Wynn to be Solicitor-General to Queen Henrietta Maria, 28 Jan. 1639/40. There are some additions in the same hand as MS 72.

Rentals of the estates of Sir William Williams (Speaker Williams) from 1672 to 1690.

Accounts of the receipt by Simon Theloal of the arrears of the issues of north Wales; receipts of issues and mises in Denbighshire, Flintshire, Montgomeryshire, Caernarvonshire, Anglesey and Merioneth in 1555-1556; account of money received by Simon Thelwall of the chamberlain of north Wales, and of disbursements made by him at the chamberlain's bidding; list of collectors of the second payment of a mise in Bromfield and Yale with their charges; fees and annuities paid by Simon [Thelwall] for the year ending Michaelmas 1555; and the account of Simon Thelwall, made to Sir John Salesbury, knight, of receipts for the year 1555-1556. Simon Thelwell, the writer of this manuscript, as well as MS 93 and section (a) of MS 86, was probably the son of Richard Thelwall of Plas y Ward. He was an MP for Denbighshire in 1553, 1563, and 1571, and high sheriff for the same county in 1572.
Among the loose papers in the volume are: (a) Receipt from Lanselot Alforde, porter of the Castle of Chirk, for £7.12.0 being two years' fee, paid by Simond Thelwall on behalf of Sir John Salesbury, knight, general receiver of north Wales, [1555]; (b) Receipt from John More for an annuity from the same source, 24 March 1555/6; (c) Receipt from Morgan Lloyd on behalf of the Earl of Penbrok, 1 April 1555; and (d) Inventory of the stuff remaining in the Exchequer at Caernarfon in Oct. 1555, after the death of Lewes Owen. This Lewes Owen, who was a baron of the Exchequer and vice-chamberlain of north Wales, was the victim of the vengeance of Gwylliad Cochion Mawddwy.

An account book of rents received and paid for leases granted and taken by Evan Vaughan, money borrowed and lent, allowances to his wife and son, and sundry payments, 1662-1687. It is probable that this Evan Vaughan is the same person as he who was nominated capital bailiff of Llanfyllin in the new charter granted by Charles II in 1673. From this account book it appears that he died in 1685, when new hands appear, and Elin Vaughan is described as a widow.

'An account of all Mony's which have been Issued & paid out of the receipt of His Matyes Exchequer to any Person or Persons on Acct. of the Privy Purse, Secret Service, Pentions, Bounties, or any sum or sums of Mony to any Person or Persons whatsoever without account from the 25th Day of March 1721 to the 25th Day of March 1726'.
