LETTERS 1980037 Ffynhonnell / Source The Friends of the National Library of Wales. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1979-80 Disgrifiad / Description 1. Fifty-one holograph letters, 1840-63 (the majority dated 1856-8), from Richard Cobden (1804-65), from Midhurst, Dunford, Glyn Garth near Bangor, and elsewhere, to his brother-in-law Hugh Williams (1796-1874), the Carmarthenshire lawyer and radical whose name is associated with the Chartist and Rebecca movements (these letters relate largely to the Dylife Lead Mine, co. Montgomery, in which Cobden and Williams were shareholders, but there are also references to political matters such as the extension of the franchise, the Crimean War, Palmerston as Prime Minister, the American Civil War, and slavery); nine holograph letters, 1847-62 and undated, from `Kate' (Catherine Anne) Cobden, wife of Richard Cobden, to her brother Hugh Williams (Dylife mine, family matters); copies of two letters, 1857, from Cobden to John Taylor, of ?two letters, 1857, from Taylor to Cobden, and of a lengthy letter, 1858, from Cobden to John Bright, all relating largely to the Dylife mine; two holograph letters, 1873 and undated, from Hugh Williams to his wife and children, miscellaneous items relating to the Williams family including press cuttings, an incomplete pedigree, particulars of sale (printed) of the Garthe Estate in the parishes of Llanfihangel Abercywyn, Llangynin, and St. Clears, co. Carmarthen, 1869, etc.; and a photograph of Richard Cobden [c. 1855), four photographs of Cobden's daughters, Annie, Kate, Jane, and Nellie, and a group photograph taken in Paris endorsed 'My Uncle Cobden, Mr. Bright, Chevalier Bunsen signing the French Treaty send (sic) dear papa many years ago'.

2. Twenty-six holograph letters, 7 July - 17 September 1824, from George Rice Rice-Trevor, 4th Lord Dynevor (1795-1869), to his future wife, Frances ('Fanny') Fitzroy (1803-78), during the period prior to their marriage in November 1824. The correspondence includes descriptions of the writer's social and professional activities at Barrington Park, co. Oxford, London, and Dynevor Castle co. Carmarthen, as well as references to problems arising out of their courtship. There is also Rice- Trevor's passport, dated London, 2 September 1845, and some genealogical notes on the families of Dynevor and Fitzroy.

3. A small group of papers relating to Richard Robert Jones (`Dic Aberdaron'; 1780-1843), together with a copy of the Memoir of Richard Robert Jones (London, 1822), by William Roscoe (a few minor manuscript additions have been made to the printed text, including the author's name). The papers consist of two letters from Richard R. Jones at Caernarvon and 'Holywel' to his benefactor William S[tanley] Roscoe (1782-1843 ; son of the author of the Memoir) at Liverpool, 12 April and 20 June 1817 ; four notes, also apparently from 'Dic Aberdaron', to William Stanley Roscoe, one of which is dated 5 November 1817; and a few notes concerning the Hebrew language, together with what appears to be either a translation from the Hebrew or a short original composition. All these items, with the exception of the manuscript additions to the Memoir and a copy of a translation from the Hebrew, are in the hand of `Dic Aberdaron'. The letters and notes vividly illuminate his life of itinerant scholarship, and his dependence on his benefactors.

4. Holograph notes by Richard Robert Jones (`Dic Aberdaron') relating to efforts to publish his Welsh- Greek-Hebrew dictionary; together with a portrait.

5. Part of a manuscript in the hand of, and including poetry by, Dafydd Jones, Penrhyndeudraeth,(1743-1831), 'Dafydd Siôn Siâms' or 'Dafydd ab Ioan ab Iago' (see D.W.B., p. 448). It appears that this manuscript, together with NLW MSS 5553B and 10898B, once formed a complete manuscript volume. Fourteen items are to be found in this present portion, including poems requesting various items, elegies, and warnings against the threat of invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte, 1803, and against the unfaithfulness of Anglican clergy, as well as carolau plygain.

6. A letter, 22 June 1707, from E[dward] Lhuyd (1660-1709), the botanist, geologist, linguist, and antiquary, at Oxford, to Sir Richard Midleton at Chirk Castle, Denbighshire. Lhuyd is sending a copy of the first volume of his major undertaking the Archaeologia Britannica [i.e. the Glossography which was published in June 1707], to the recipient whom he thanks for his financial support over five years. He explains that the money, £5 per annum, was used to defray travelling expenses during his tour through Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Ireland, and Scotland, collecting material for the project. Lhuyd's work was completed in a reasonable period of time and so the responsibility for its late appearance rests with the printers. The reasons for the book's delay have been set out in the volume's Welsh preface. As a result of the delay, Lhuyd was able to enlarge the work somewhat. He also mentions that he has received complimentary letters regarding the volume from Dr. Hicks [George Hickes, 1642- 1715], Dr. Gibson of Lambeth [Edmund Gibson, 1669-1748], and others.

MEDIEVAL MSS 1980129 Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1979-80 Disgrifiad / Description Two medieval manuscripts notable for both being in original bindings. The one contains the Cronica or Historia ecclesiastica of Hugh of Fleury (al. of Sainte-Marie), a world history to the time of Charles the Bald, completed in 1110 A.D.(NLW MS 21664C). It is well written by several scribes of the twelfth century, in England, with good coloured arabesque initials. The binding is the original but it is partly broken. The other is a small mid thirteenth century manuscript of the standard Franciscan collection of sermons for the liturgical year, containing the whole series of sermons de tempore (NLW MS 21665A). It was written perhaps in northern England, the earliest known owner being Sir Francis Bellingham of Westmorland, knighted in 1603. This is a virtually undecorated manuscript, and the binding is unbroken. It is a good example of the literature which, to the Welsh, has acquired some notoriety through Dafydd ap Gwilym's poems to y brawd llwyd.

FRENCH MS CONTAINING `IMAGE DU MONDE' 1980130 Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1979-80 Disgrifiad / Description A late thirteenth- or early fourteenth-century French manuscript containing an incomplete text of the rhymed version of the Image du monde ('Lymage del monde'), a compilation attributed by some authorities to Gossuin, by others to Gautier, both of Metz (NLW MS 21667D). It is partly based on the Imago mundi of Honorius Solitarius or Inclusus, the Welsh medieval translations of which bear the title Delw y byd. The manuscript, in French Gothic book hand, was probably written in France. It contains 22 leaves in three gatherings of eight with catchwords, the second and third gatherings lacking one folio ; a portion of f. 5 has been cut. The text breaks off in the sixteenth chapter. There are 34 lines to each page, and the text is written in two columns. On f. 1r is an illuminated initial showing God the Creator, with a border extending the full length of the page in which two hounds chase a hare. There are three other illuminated initials, and other initials are in red and blue. Three diagrams illustrate the text and on f. 17r are two maps of Europe, Asia and Africa. The manuscript measures 298 x 214 mm. and is bound in buff Middle Hill boards. Inscriptions on f. 1r show that in 1562 the manuscript belonged to 'Babyngton', possibly Francis Babington, an Oxford divine (d. 1569); Peniarth MS. 382 bears the same signature. The flyleaf bears Sir Thomas Phillipps's inscription 'Given to me by Mrs. Williams of Penbedw, Co. Denbigh', and on f. 1r the manuscript is similarly identified as part of the Penbedw library. In a note, dated 1826, in the catalogue of the Penbedw library (Peniarth Deeds 513), Mrs. Anna Bella Williams probably refers to this manuscript. Formerly no. 1308 in the Phillipps Collection.

The manuscript contains 196 leaves in gatherings of eight, with four leaves wanting after f. 106. The text is written in dark brown ink, with 21 lines to the page. An historiated initial on f. 2r shows David seated playing the harp. There are 35 other illuminated initials, many with floral borders, including one on f. 165r (at the beginning of the prayers) with a full-page border. The illumination is chiefly Bavarian in style, but two initials (on ff. 1r and 189r) are decorated in the Italian `white vine' manner. The scribe notes variant readings from several sources. Psalms 1-17 are glossed in German by a hand of the fifteenth or early sixteenth century. The manuscript, measuring 129 x 90 mm., is bound in once red sixteenth-century German calf gilt over wooden boards. The upper cover is stamped with a medallion of the Virgin and Child and the lower with the Holy Monogram. Inside the lower cover is a pastedown from a fifteenth-century ordinale. The binding is worn and the tooling faint; of the two clasps, one remains. On f. 196v is a coat of arms, dated 1552, bearing the initials IE.

Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1979-80 Disgrifiad / Description Around 480 composite letters, 1891-1932, circulated among members of the Joseph family of Llandysul, co. Cardigan. All four sons, William Joseph, Elias Joseph, David Dan Joseph and Thomas Francis Joseph, were ministers of Congregational churches worshipping in English mainly in South Wales, although William Joseph also ministered to congregations in southern England and Sheffield, and Thomas Francis Joseph served as an army chaplain during World War I. Their parents and two of their three sisters also feature in this correspondence, which is very largely in Welsh. The object of the series and the method of composition is explained in the first weekly letter. It was initiated so that all the contributors could read what every other member of the circle had to say, and so that no one would miss any item of information. The eldest brother was to write on a double foolscap sheet, another brother was to add his contribution, and so on. The resulting compilations have often been described as 'llythyr mawr' or 'big letter', 'teithiwr' [traveller] and 'cylchydd' [circulator]. They therefore number well over two thousand individual letters which contain a wealth of denominational, family, local and miscellaneous news. The letters have been numbered and arranged in yearly bundles. These are fairly complete until the end of the nineteenth century, but comparatively few are extant for the next two decades. Over seventy have survived from 1921-2, and there are two unnumbered letters from 1930-2.
