A volume compiled, [c. 1790], by the Rev. Thomas Edwards of Mount Sion, Selattyn, Shropshire, rector of Llanfechain, Montgomeryshire, containing lists of incumbents for each parish in the Diocese of St Asaph, arranged mostly alphabetically by parish (pp. 1-4, 7-260), together with lists of the bishops, deans, archdeacons, prebendaries and chancellors of the diocese (pp. 261-289). The volume contains later additions by Edwards and, to about 1853, in the hand of the Rev. Richard Bonnor Maurice Bonnor.
The lists are written on rectos, often with notes inserted on the versos opposite. The volume also includes an index of parishes (pp. 540-543), notes on 'Antient Usages & Customs in North Wales' (pp. 293-295) and ecclesiastical wakes (pp. 299-302) and a poem (p. 297).

A manuscript volume, begun in about 1709, belonging initially to an Elizabeth Salusbury, containing numerous medicinal remedies and culinary recipes (pp. 1-186, 197-236, 238-242), together with a series of 'amlegues', diagrams displaying collections of dishes for different meals (pp. 187-196, 237). The volume appears to be in at least two different hands, the second appearing on pp. 122-207 passim. The contents of pp. 1-40 are listed at the front of the volume (pp. i-iv).
Also included is a small group of loose papers, 1756-1792 and undated, some relating to the Jones family of Llantisilio Hall, Llangollen, mostly consisting of further recipes (pp. 243-276).

A letter, 1756, from John Leche (p. 275) refers to 'you and Mrs Jones' and to 'good Mrs Lloyd'.

Manuscript memoir, 1774-1775, of William Owen, recalling his early years in the Royal Navy, from 1750 to 1761, in particular his time in India from 1754. The volume recounts life and events on board ship, together with incidents, escapades and misadventures ashore.
Owen went to sea as a midshipman and passed his Lieutenant's exam on 1 February 1758 (pp. 328-329). He served aboard several ships, most notably HMS Tyger, 1754-1759 (pp. 137-403), and HMS Sunderland, 1759-1761 (pp. 411-547). He participated in several naval and land actions in the Carnatic, Bengal and elsewhere, including the capture of Geriah (Vijaydurg), February 1756 (pp. 194-204), the expedition to retake Calcutta, December 1756-February 1757 (pp. 242-68), the battle of Chandernagore, 23 March 1757 (pp. 282-9), the naval battles off Cuddalore, 30 April 1758 (pp. 343-7), Negapatam, 3 August 1758 (pp. 368-73) and Pondicherry, 11 September 1759 (pp. 444-9), and the subsequent siege and blockade of Pondicherry, August 1760-January 1761 (pp. 530-53). Other incidents of note include a fraught voyage from Jamaica to England, October 1753-January 1754 (pp. 120-32), an ill-fated shooting expedition in Trincomalee, Ceylon, July 1759 (pp. 427-36), the loss of his right arm during a raid at Pondicherry, 6 October 1760 (pp. 531-6), and the sinking of HMS Sunderland in a cyclone shortly before Owen was due to rejoin her, 1 January 1761 (pp. 544-7). The volume, which contains occasional corrections, deletions and interpolations, is based mainly on Owen's journals, log books and other papers (see NLW, Glansevern Estate Records). In addition, certain passages, especially accounts of wider events, are either copied verbatim or adapted, without acknowledgement, from published works including Edward Ives, A Voyage from England to India… (London: Edward and Charles Dilly, 1773, ESTC T12210) (pp. 154-5, 163, 171, 178-9, 195, 197-8, 200-204, 210-13, 218, 223-5, 234, 242-3, 251-2, 259-60, 262-3, 264-6, 269-76, 280-81, 284-5, 294-305, 313, 316-7), and unidentified editions of Richard Owen Cambridge, An Account of the War in India, Between the English and French… (London: T.

Whitworth, 1764, T110585) (pp. 459-50) and the third volume of An Account of the Voyages Undertaken by the Order of His Present Majesty for Making Discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere..., ed. by John Hawkesworth, 3 vols (London: printed for W. Strahan; and T. Cadell in the Strand, 1773, T74465) (pp. 578-82). Owen's second volume of memoirs is partly published in Narrative of American Voyages and Travels of Captain William Owen, R.N., and Settlement of the Island of Campobello in the Bay of Fundy 1766-1771, ed. by Victor Hugo Paltsits (New York, New York Public Library, 1942), a copy of which is included with the present manuscript (NLW MS 24132E(a)).

A manuscript draft, [1946], of David Jones's introduction to the BBC radio production of his war poem 'In Parenthesis', first transmitted on the Third Programme, 19 November 1946. The draft contains deletions and revisions in ink and pencil in the hand of the author.
This draft is much closer to the script in its final typescript form (see NLW, David Jones (Artist and Writer) Papers LP5/3, ff. vii-x) than are the other extant drafts (ibid, LP5/4, ff. 1-9). The only significant changes that remained to be incorporated are: a new sentence to replace the line at the beginning of f. 2, the loss of a reference to Brittany (f. 2), the truncation of a section on Maximus the Great (f. 2) and a much expanded ending, with a list of four quotes to be taken directly from the book's introduction substituted with the full quotations (f. 3). The introduction was pre-recorded by Jones; the remainder of the programme was performed live by the cast on 19 November, with a live repeat the following evening.
