DAVID LLOYD GEORGE 1970108 Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1969-70 Disgrifiad / Description A group of papers, numbering nearly 3,500 hundred items, from the family home of the Right Hon. David Lloyd George, O.M., 1st Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor, at Brynawelon, Cricieth (NLW MSS 20403-93). The main group centres on Dame Margaret Lloyd George, with smaller groups centred on David Lloyd George himself and on his daughters Olwen and Megan. Much the most important part of the acquisition is the series of over 2,000 letters from Lloyd George to Margaret, his wife, beginning in 1886, before their marriage, and continuing until 1936. Until the post- war years Lloyd George during the long and frequent periods in which he was apart from his family wrote home regularly an almost daily letter. The diary-like quality of the letters taken as a whole is some compensation for the discovery that many of them, especially the later ones, are disappointingly brief. This series of letters probably constitutes the most valuable single source for Lloyd George's early career. Among the papers of Lloyd George himself are diaries for January - November 1887 and January 1889, speeches and notes for speeches, 1885-1930s, a few political papers, four volumes of press cuttings and, among various keepsakes, H. H. Asquith's notes for his speech in the House on the Irish Question, 10 July 1916, and a collection of holograph satirical rhymes written by Sir Wilfred Lawson during various Commons debates, 1894-1904. Represented in the incoherent group of 160 letters to Lloyd George, in few cases by more than one letter, are H. H. Asquith, Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Lord Robert Cecil, Winston Churchill, Lord Derby, Eamon de Valera, A. G. Edwards, T. E. Ellis, Thomas Gee, Ramsay Macdonald, John Morley, J. E. Redmond, Lord Rendel, and C. P. Scott, among others. There are a few letters to Lloyd George from his wife Margaret, his uncle Richard Lloyd, his brother William, and his children. Apart from letters from her family there are over 300 other letters to Dame Margaret mostly relating to her public and social life and representing a wide range of figures in English and Welsh public life. There are also speeches and notes for speeches by Dame Margaret, 1910s-40. The group centred on Olwen Lloyd George (Lady Olwen Carey Evans) consists mostly of letters from her mother, especially during 1922-3 when the Carey Evans's were in India. Lady Megan Lloyd George's papers comprise a smallish group of letters, including ones from her father, 1912-44, her mother, 1918-37, and a few from Clement Attlee, Lady Violet Bonham Carter, Lord Dawson, and Dingle Foot; speeches and notes for speeches, 1920s-65; and six indexed volumes of press cuttings covering most of her career from 1930 till 1951. The remainder of the archive comprises miscellaneous family letters and papers of the Lloyd George family and of the Owen family of Mynydd Ednyfed (Dame Margaret's home), the latter dated from 1855 onwards and including a number of documents relating to the ownership of shares in local ships. There are also the minute book of the Cricieth Charity School trustees, 1819-46, and 'Cofiadur Ysgol Sabbathawl Bryneingion', 1829-30. Mynegai Criccieth Nodiadau Schedule Available.

SARUM ANTIPHONAL 1970109 Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1969-70 Disgrifiad / Description A large and handsome antiphonal, of Sarum use, probably of the late fourteenth century and written in South Wales or the West of England (NLW MS 20541E). The manuscript comprises the Temporale, Psalter with canticles and two litanies, Sanctorale and Commune. Sections have been lost at the beginning of the Temporale and of the Psalter, all but the first two leaves of the Commune have been mutilated, leaving the remainder more or less fragmentary, and leaves have been cut out at various points throughout the volume; otherwise its condition is good. The manuscript retains its contemporary or near-contemporary binding in oak boards. The Temporale, Sanctorale, and Commune are written in a good Textura with, besides red and blue initials of up to six lines, a large number (about two a page) of calligraphic initials embodying profiles of human and animal heads. The Psalter is written by a slightly less expert hand on parchment of poorer quality, but its red and blue initials, though simpler, appear to be the same work as those of the rest of the manuscript. The most striking liturgical feature of the manuscript is a full office of St. David (ff. 205-208v). His feast was introduced into the Sarum calendar in 1398 (and its observance made obligatory in 1415) but is found considerably earlier in, for instance, calendars of Hereford and Exeter. The Proper of this office of St. David (including a prose) appears, apart from its two Collects, to be unknown from any other source. Liturgically, as well as musically, it is therefore of exceptional Welsh interest, especially bearing in mind the virtually total loss of manuscript service books for the diocese of St. Davids. With the doubtful exception of Paternus, who occurs in a litany (probably the Gaulish saint of the name), no Welsh saints apart from David appear in the liturgy, though a memorial for Winifred was added in a margin in the fifteenth century (she entered the Sarum calendar with St. David). The only saint outside the Sarum calendar to occur in the Sanctorale is Ethelbert (of Hereford), with a memorial. The second of the litanies includes a number of saints suggesting that the manuscript was written for a foundation with both Irish and Continental connections (SS. Patrick, Columba, Columbanus, Kilian, Walburg, Wulfran, Wulmer and, puzzlingly, Machar). A scribbled note 'Of ye freres Augustyns / aut quid aut venio' (f. 161) suggests the vicinity of a house of the Austin Friars, though the absence of any office for St. Augustine must rule out an Augustinian origin for the manuscript. The large number of names scribbled in the margins concur, so far as they are identifiable, in pointing to as the home of the manuscript by about the middle of the sixteenth century.

H S EDE: SHAW-EDE 1970128 Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1969-70 Disgrifiad / Description A copy of H. S. Ede (ed.): Shaw-Ede. T. E. Lawrence's Letters to H. S. Ede 1927-1935 (Golden Cockerel Press, 1942), with copious marginal corrections and annotations by Alice B. Winnicott, ? 1943 (NLW MS 20603C). An accompanying letter by Alice B. Winnicott, addressed to the Editor, The New Statesman and Nation, explains how some years ago (writing in 1943) she made a careful copy of the Shaw-Ede letters in manuscript. It is clear (p. 28) that she must also have transcribed Ede's commentary, for she also makes corrections to this. The 1943 letter did not appear in The New Statesman, so Ede had no occasion to give his own view of the matter. It is not clear whether or not Alice B. Winnicott herself made the corrections. On p. 28 is a note 'corrected up to here. 20/2/43. writing C.S. and J.E.' The corrections appear to be based on a very careful collation of the printed text with the manuscript copy. It extends to such details as punctuation, capitalization and layout. It inserts a long omitted passage on p.11 but elsewhere (pp. 38, 59) omits them. At two points names left blank are filled in. The remaining corrections, though very numerous, do not greatly alter the substance of the letters. Clearly however they are of considerable textual significance.
