Cardigan, who, with part of his congregation, had been locked out of the Old Chapel on 26 February 1880 (NLW MS 12863F).

The contents of this volume may be broadly divided into three sections: the author's career and the history of the new Tabernacle at Llechryd, 1880-1903 and 1911-[?1918] (pp. 1-228 and 457-94), a section which began with his wife's death, and contains, in addition to material such as that found in the first section, a considerable volume of verse, 1904-10 (pp. 229-436); and a brief sketch of his life (pp. 437- 57).

Williams, one of the most important leaders of the Welsh Colony in Patagonia during the first quarter of the 20th century (NLW MSS 19715-7A, 19718E, 19719-20D, 19721E, 19722-3D, 19724E). He had been apprenticed as a civil engineer to Joseph J. Williams of Holywell in 1875 and took a prominent part in the opening of the railway and the scheme to irrigate the Colony. After returning to Wales at the beginning of this century, he became the representative of the Chubut Mercantile Company for twenty- five years. There are over 400 letters, c. 1897-1929, in the collection, some of them from the most influential people in the colony, such as T. Dalar Evans, John Howell Jones, Lewis Jones, Eluned Morgan, Elias Owen, etc. (NLW MSS 19719-20D, 19721E) There are also three books containing copies of letters from E. J.

Williams; and press cuttings chiefly relating to the Chubut Mercantile Company (NLW MS 19724E).

VULGATE TEXT OF HISTORIA REGUM BRITANNIAE 1967109 Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1966-67 Disgrifiad / Description A late twelfth century Phillipps manuscript of the vulgate text of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (NLW MS 13052E). It is a very fine folio manuscript of 60 leaves written in double columns of 40 lines in an early Gothic hand with decorated large initial letters in red or blue for chapters or paragraphs. The divisions do not coincide in every case with those of the A. J. Giles edition, but apart from minor differences, the two texts generally agree. Though a generous bottom margin remains, most of the catchwords have disappeared through trimming, probably when bound by Charles Hering. The volume is bound in russia, with gilt cornerpieces and line borders and with inner cornerpieces and central panel in blind tooling. The manuscript may at one time have been part of a larger collection of texts. It was among the early purchases made by Sir Thomas Phillipps, bearing number 32 in his collection.

SNELL 1967133 Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1966-67 Disgrifiad / Description From Messrs. Snell & Sons, Swansea, the music publishers, an outstanding collection of manuscripts of the works of Welsh composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (NLW MSS 19761-896), including composers' holograph scores of substantial proportions of the works of Joseph Parry, David Jenkins and W. T. David, Tonypandy, with a representation of many other Welsh composers of the period. Besides holograph full scores the collection comprises copies and drafts of scores and sets of orchestral parts. Although most of the works represented in the purchase have been published, in very few cases did publication extend to the full score; the practice was for performers to hire the full score and orchestral parts (or 'band parts') from the publisher. The full scores now acquired (and in their absence the sets of orchestral parts) thus take on an inestimably greater value. Works by Joseph Parry in the collection are his operas Blodwen, Sylvia, Arianwen, King Arthur, Y Ferch o Scer, His Worship the Mayor, and The Maid of Cefn Ydfa, his oratorios Emmanuel, Nebuchadnezzar, and Jesus of Nazareth, his cantatas Ceridwen, Y Bugail Da, Joseph, and Bethlehem, a string quartet in F minor, a few other choral and instrumental works, and some 150 songs and anthems, dating from 1863. (An earlier purchase from the same source, of manuscripts of Joseph Parry is now NLW MSS 9281- 97). Works by David Jenkins include his oratorios Job and The Legend of St. David, his cantatas The Enchanted Isle, Llyn y Morynion, Psalm of Life, The Ark of the Covenant, The Galley Slave, and Scenes in the Life of Moses, an operetta The Village Children and various other choral works. Works by W. T. David, Tonypandy, include his cantatas The Blind Man of Judah and The Day of Pentecost, his operas Goronwy and The Maid of Arfon, two incomplete operas, and some 100 minor pieces, some instrumental, mostly songs. Other composers represented by major works are John Thomas ('Pencerdd Gwalia') (cantatas Llewelyn and The Bride of Neath Valley), D. Emlyn Evans (cantata The Captivity and about twenty minor pieces), Daniel Protheroe (cantatas A Song of Hope, St. Peter, and Drontheim, a 'ballade' for chorus and orchestra), Haydn Morris (operetta Merch y Bryniau and songs), J. R. Lewis (opera Caradog and minor works), T. Glyndwr Richards (opera Cartref, The Flooded Mine, and Royal House and minor works), and D. W. Rowlands (operetta Olwen Plasgwyn). The other composers represented, mostly by songs and anthems, are Oscar Allon, Gilbert H. Beard, Edward Broome, H. Davies, J. T. Davies, T. Vincent Davies, W. J. R. Davies, T. D. Edwards, George M. Evans, John Gabriel, William George, R. S. Hughes, T. O. Hughes, D. Tawe Jones, W. O. Jones, Dyfed Lewis, E. D. Lloyd, D. Warwick Moore, Morfudd Owen, John Price, Rhedynog Price, T. J. Rees, T. Osborne Roberts, W. T. Samuel, T. C. Samuels, D. Vaughan Thomas, Blodwen Thomas, Frank G. Ward, E. D. Williams, Ioan Williams, and J. A. Williams. Acquired from the same source were a manuscript containing parts of a Mass and a Te Deum by Giovanni Bononcini, copied by John Allcock in 1747; a translation of The Merchant of Venice into French verse by Pierre Hubert Adolphe Houhin (died 1861); and part of a draft of Legends of Iceland (2nd Series), translated by G.

LORD RENDEL 1967178 Ffynhonnell / Source Miss Rosemary Rendel, London. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1966-67 Disgrifiad / Description A supplementary collection consisting mainly of letters, 1878-1912, addressed to Stuart, Baron Rendel (1834-1913), including a few letters and copies of letters in Rendel's own hand. Though the correspondence is largely of a social and personal nature, including acknowledgments and thanks for invitations to dinner or for hospitality received, requests for loans or donations to charity, requests for favours, congratulations on electoral victories or on obtaining his peerage in 1894, of sympathy in bereavements, etc., they also contain many interesting comments on the great political and social issues of the day. Of particular Welsh interest are the letters received from men prominent in the public life of Wales, in which, besides matters of a more personal nature, there are references to disestablishment, education in Wales, electoral prospects, comments on politicians and tributes to Rendel's leadership of the Welsh Parliamentary Party. The correspondents include Lord Aberdare, Sir Robert A. Cunliffe, David Davies, Edward Davies, Machynlleth, J. H. Davies, W. Rees Davies, L. L. Dillwyn, Principal Ellis Edwards, Bala, John Hugh Edwards, T. E. Ellis, Samuel Ellis, Llanfair, Professor H. Ethe, Beriah Gwynfe Evans, S. T. Evans, D.

There are also references to matters of Welsh interest in letters from Lady Lucy Cavendish, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Sir William Harcourt, R. A. Hudson, Charles Hobhouse, John Morley, A. J. Mundella, Sir F. R. Sandford, F. Schnadhorst, W. H. Smith, Edward Stanhope and Sir G. O. Trevelyan. Of particular interest are the letters to Rendel from Principal T. F. Roberts, in which are discussed the affairs of Aberystwyth College, the annual grant to the College from the Government, the stipends of the staff, and the provision of pensions (including a typescript of salaries paid to members of the staff in 1908), David Davies's proposal to found a hostel for men in 1909, invitations to distinguished persons to deliver inaugural lectures, the building plans of the National Library of Wales, arrangements for the royal visit to Aberystwyth in July 1911, the proposal to found a University of Wales Appointments Board, efforts to get Principal Roberts appointed to the Commission on appointments to the Civil Service, including also referenccs to current politics in Wales, to disestablishment, and a tribute to the valuable services of D. Lloyd George in the establishment of the National Library of Wales. There is also an important holograph letter written by Rendel to Principal Roberts, 3 September 1903, in which he refers to the three main Welsh issues, a Suspensory Bill, a Land Commission, and a University, for which he had bargained with Gladstone, and which would probably not have been achieved had he accepted office in 1892. There are letters from W. E. Gladstone, Mrs. Catherine Gladstone, and their sons W.H., H.A., and H. N. Gladstone, who married Maud, daughter of Lord and Lady Rendel, and from the Rendels to Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. For the most part they deal with social, personal and family matters, but they also contain references to current political issues, Liberal Party dissensions, international affairs, the Armenian atrocities, contemporary Welsh politics, the degree ceremony at Aberystwyth in 1896, as well as such disparate topics as the use of steel in building construction and investment in Elswick shares. Other distinguished Liberals who maintained a considerable correspondence with Rendel were Lord Rosebery, Lord Morley (including minutes in the hand of Rendel of conversations with Morley in 1888 and 1894, recording his observations on politics and politicians), and Sir William Harcourt. Some of the other correspondents represented in this collection are Lord Abingdon, A. H. D. Acland, Lord and Lady Acton, Sir John Adye, Lord Amherst, Lord Armitstead, H. H. Asquith, Lord Avebury, Nathaniel Barnaby, Sir John Wolfe Barry, Lord Bessborough, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, A. Birrell, Wilfred S.

Vavasseur, Lord Vernon and Lord Welby. Lord Rendel was an intimate of the royal family and there are many letters from royal secretaries and equerries, such as Sir Arthur Bigge, Lord Knollys, and Captain Seymour Fortescue. There is a holograph letter from the Prince of Wales, 23 March 1898, written to Rendel in reply to a letter giving an account of W. E. Gladstone's health. There are also letters from Helen, Duchess of Albany, R. H. Collins, her secretary, Alexander George of Teck (later Earl of Athlone), her son-in-law, the Grand Duke Michael, Charlotte, Princess of Saxe-Meiningen, and the Comtesse de Caserta. A very interesting group of letters are those, 1880-7, from Sir Robert Hart, Inspector-General of the Chinese Customs, to Rendel, which deal with the supply of gunboats to China, the life of foreigners in the Chinese ports, the unsatisfactory relations which exist between Englishmen employed by the Chinese Customs and members of the regular Consular Service, the mistakes of British policy in China, the necessity for Britain to cultivate good relations with China, the control of the opium trade between India and China, the collection of customs duties on opium and measures necessary to prevent the loss of revenue to China through the smuggling of opium through Hong Kong and Macao, and with the diplomatic moves which led to the settlement of the dispute between France and China over Tonkin, in which negotiations were conducted by Sir Robert Hart, on behalf of the Empress of China, through J. D. Campbell, his secretary in London, using Rendel as his intermediary with Lord Granville, the Foreign Secretary; there are also references to the offer to Sir Robert Hart, made as the result of Rendel's representations to the Foreign Secretary, of the post of minister at Peking, to the relations of China with France, Germany and Russia, together with comments on the Irish question and the political situation in England, with strictures on the party political system in England in 1887, comparing the situation unfavourably with China, to which Rendel replied at length in a holograph letter. There are also notes concerning J. D. Campbell's employment in Paris, 16 January - 25 June 1885, in connection with the Paris negotiations between France and China, and letters on the same subject from Rendel to J. D. Campbell, Mrs. Campbell, and Lady Hart, and copies of letters from Rendel to Lord Granville; and memoranda concerning the diplomatic initiatives to settle the dispute between France and China, 11 September - 17 December 1884, with copies of correspondence between Campbell and Hart. As this important archive arrived at the end of the year under review, it was possible for the purpose of this Report to make only a cursory examination of the contents. Nodiadau Schedule Available.
