    The Dillwyn Collection The Journals of Lewis Weston Dillwyn (b.1778 d.1855) Transcribed by Richard Morris ©Richard Morris and the family of Lewis Weston Dillwyn The unpublished journals of Lewis Weston Dillwyn from 1817 to 1852 have been transcribed by Richard Morris and are made available for academic and research use. Copyright in the diaries remains with the family and requests for other use or further publication should be made to the address below. Note: This is a working edition of the journals that have been transcribed over a number of years by Richard Morris. This edition includes inconsistencies in presentation and orthography – in part due to inconsistencies in the originals. This work is presented to aid research into the Dillwyn family and related topics. It is part of an ongoing project that aims in the future to bring together a number of diaries and to convert them to modern, marked-up formats that will allow more powerful features and searching. We are grateful for the support of the National Library of Wales in developing this online collection.
