P. M. Evans & Son., from Hugh Jones, North Wales Baptist College, Llangollen, 1882 (the writer's belief that the publication of a Biblical concordance, which would be more comprehensive than that of Peter Williams [Y Mynegeir Ysgrythurol (1773)], would be a service to the Welsh nation, examples of some shortcomings of the Peter Williams concordance, comments on a specimen [page or sheet] of a [proposed] concordance sent to the writer [probably that of David Griffiths]); and biographical notes on David Griffiths.
