A group of notebooks containing the original manuscript of a commentary on the New Testament by the Reverend Thomas Phillips, D.D., Neuadd-lwyd, Cardiganshire, entitled Esboniad Byr ar y Testament Newydd (Carmarthen, 1831). Pages 369-70 and 464-5, containing the commentary on the Gospel of Saint John xx, 30-31, and xxi, 1-14, and Acts of the Apostles xx, 1-17, are wanting. Inset is a printed prospectus of the commentary, dated 22 March, 1828.

A composite volume consisting (previous to re-binding) of loose leaves and sections of notebooks, sewn together between rough, brown, paper covers, and containing an imperfect register [of students at the school or academy at Neuadd-lwyd, near Aberaeron], 1821-1830, and 1833-1837. The name of Thomas Phillips occurs on the original, inside, upper cover, and the inscription 'Revd. T. Phillips, Neuaddlwyd, near Lampeter, Cardiganshire', on the original, outside, lower cover. This is presumably the Reverend Thomas Phillips, Congregational minister at Neuadd-lwyd, and master of the school there from its foundation in 1810 until 1840. The sections are not in chronological order, entries for 1821-1822 being at the end of the volume.
