Three notebooks in the hand of John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd') containing material on the worthies of Llŷn and Eifionydd, together with additional press cuttings of more general reminiscences and biographies of Welsh and Welsh American worthies. There are labels on the outer upper covers lettered respectively 'G', 'R', and 'W'.

Enwogion Llŷn ac Eifionydd,

A manuscript by John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd') containing an introductory chapter ('Rhagymadrodd Enwogion') on the worthies of Llŷn and Eifionydd (subsequently amended in turn to Eifionydd and to Caernarvonshire), together with additional notes and press cuttings on the subject. One of the labels on the outer upper cover is numbered '13' and another is inscribed 'Eben Fardd .... ac Enwogion amryw'.

Enwogion Llŷn,

A volume which belonged to John Jones ('Myrddin Fardd') containing notices of Llŷn interest similar to, but not identical with, those contained in Enwogion Sir Gaernarfon. Many of the pages are missing and some of the notices are therefore incomplete. The hand, apart from 'Rhagdraith Enwogion' at the beginning and one or two inserts, is not that of 'Myrddin Fardd'. One of the longer notices relates to Thomas Williams ('Twm Pedrog'), who is not included in Enwogion Sir Gaernarfon. A number of press cuttings unrelated in content have been pasted on to some of the blank pages and loose inside is a letter, 1918, from D. R. D[aniel], Fourcrosses to 'Myrddin [Fardd'], with a transcript of a song entitled 'Llwynogod y Rhiw' (Caer Cyffin: argraffedig gan R. Jones, tros R. Jones). Letter 'R' on the spine.
