A manuscript containing surveys of Gower in the time of Elizabeth I and of Oliver Cromwell. The first part of the volume contains a copy of a Survey of Gower Anglia, written in Latin and English, the original having being made around 1576-1578. The second part of the volume contains a copy of the Survey of the Seigniory of Gower, the text of which can be found in a Survey of Gower Anglica, pp. 1-94.
The text of Gower Anglica may be found, with certain variants and a few slight omissions, on pp. 97-121 of Surveys of Gower and Kilvey, which was issued as a supplemental volume by the Cambrian Archaeological Association in 1870. G. G. Francis, who edited the Surveys in 1861, superintended the binding in 1846.
