Llên gwerin,

Scope and Content

An incomplete holograph copy of an essay on 'Llên y Werin', by 'Elfod' [William Jones ('Bleddyn'), the writer of the essay in the preceding manuscript, N.LW MS 12734E]. In a foreword, dated 30 June 1887, the writer states tat he had intended compiling an anthology of the folk- lore of the whole of Wales, but that pressure of time had compelled him to limit the area dealt with to the counties of Merioneth and Caernarvon ('siroedd Meirion ac Arfon'). The rubber-stamp impression of the National Eisteddfod of Wales held in London in 1887 is to be found on the title- page and p. 1.
