ADRODDIAD BLYNYDDOL / ANNUAL REPORT 1947-48 J D EVANS, TALYBONT 1948001 Ffynhonnell / Source The late the Reverend J D Evans, Talybont, Cards. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1947-48 Disgrifiad / Description A miscellaneous collection of books, mainly modern Welsh. Although mostly duplicates, they will be available for loan purposes, especially in connection with extra-mural classes (Dept of Printed Books). HERBERT MORGAN 1948002 Ffynhonnell / Source The late the Reverend Herbert Morgan, M A., Aberystwyth. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1947-48 Disgrifiad / Description Supplementary Report. The National Library was granted by the executor, Professor Aaron, the first choice of books from the valuable and extensive collection of the late Rev Herbert Morgan, MA (Dept of Printed Books). The books selected have now been catalogued and classified. Approximately 1,500 books and pamphlets were chosen, of which some fifty were transferred to the Department of Duplicates. The books selected for the general library are mainly foreign works, German, French and Italian. Most of them are on doctrinal and Biblical theology and on the philosophy of religion, with a few on modern German metaphysics. There is a considerable number of books on the sociological implications of Christianity, a subject in which Mr Morgan was keenly interested. Several important trends of Roman Catholic and Protestant religious thought in Western Europe are well represented, including, in particular, a large number of the works of Loisy and the Catholic modernist school, written mostly in French and Italian. In fact, there seems to be a copy of practically everyone of Loisy's books in the original French edition. It is no exaggeration to say that there is in the collection a copy of practically every important foreign book on the subjects named, published during twenty or thirty years of Mr Morgan's active life as a student and preacher. A feature of the collection is the large number of volumes belonging to German and Italian series of popular books on educational subjects, especially theology and philosophy. Many of these belong to the well-known Sammlung Goschen, while there are over eighty volumes of the interesting and useful series of Religionsgeschichtliche Volksbucher founded by Michael Schiele. The value of the whole bequest to the Library cannot be over-estimated. It ranks with the bequests of Dr Witton Davies and Dr Tudor Jones, and the three collections taken together form what must be a unique collection of books on religion in general and Christian theology in particular - subjects which should make a special appeal to Welsh students. English books on these subjects, and the few Welsh ones, are received under the Copyright Act, and it is the Library's good fortune that bequests like these secure for it the best of the foreign books also.
