The 'Itinerarium Kambriae' and 'Descriptio Kambriae' of Giraldus Cambrensis, written on vellum, with initial capitals, etc., in red and green.

A pamphlet entitled 'The Grievances of the Church in Wales', written in about 1765 (see p. 141) by Evan Evans (Ieuan Fardd). At the end of the volume is 'Tâl Diolch i Dduw am y Bibl yn Gymraeg . circa 1600' by Sir Thomas Johns.
This pamphlet is one of considerable importance and throws much light on the history of the English church in Wales in the middle of the eighteenth century. The unquestionable patriotism of the writer, coupled with his criticisms throughout the text, which seem to be based on authenticated facts, point to the probability that the writer is Ieuan Fardd himself.
