Press cuttings,

  • NLW MS 9676B.
  • File
  • [mid 19 cent.].

Press cuttings of letters and articles contributed to North Wales newspapers by John Wynne, schoolmaster, of Caernarvon, author of Sir a Thre' Caernarfon, fel yr oedd ac fel y maent yn 1860; and a copy of a letter addressed by him to Lord Derby expressing satisfaction at the appointment of a bishop of Bangor, 1861. The press cuttings have been pasted in a book containing an incomplete essay on the early history of Britain and a list of Caernarvon residents.
