(b) A transcript of Dr Thomas Wiliems's preface to his Dictionary. (c) 'Extracts out of a large folio pedigree book at Llannerch', pp. 910-921. (d) 'Llyma ddosbarth kerdd dant ...', 'Llyma bed[war] Mesur ar hugain cerdd dant', etc. For the latter see The Myvyrian Archaiology of Wales, Vol. III (London, 1807), p. 445. Cf. also Iolo A. Williams MSS 15, 136. (e) 'Cerdd Dannau - Extracts from an old Manuscript of Sr Wat Wms Wynne.' See op. cit., p. 625.
