LIB/60/3
Letter, dated from Ashley, Watford, 29 April 1920, with left hand margin torn away, offering two volumes of engravings to a librarian in Wales, presumably the Cardiganshire County Library.
'... Revd. John Trist, formerly minister at ... Congregational Church at Mold - and where friend ... Ellis Edwards was principal of Bala Colege - ... ?would introduce himself, having 2 Vols & boards which ...y be useful in your library: if he were a rich man ... would ask just your acceptance of them, but as it [ha]ppens he is very poor.
The 2 Vols lge. 8vo in boards referred to are entitled "England Delineated" tho. It should have been E & Wales they are in excellent condition almost every 2nd or 3rd page (or leaf) with a fine copper-plate e.g. of Aberystwyth Castle, Beaumaris Castle, Brecknock Castle, Carmarthen d[itt]o., Conway, Cardigan and Cardiff - all castles - also Denbigh, Flint, Harlech, Montgomery, St Winifred's Well, Swansea, Cwmera etc., etc. J.J./I.I. will pay carriage for 7/6 the 2 vols - they have more than 100 fine copper-plates and the vol was published in 1804.'
This is likely to refer to 'England Delineated in two volumes', by John Aikin, published in two volumes by Lackington Allen & Co. at the Temple of the Muses, Finsbury Square, in 1804.
