WYNNE, Esq., of Peniarth, and never before published. Printed in quarto, on thick hand-made paper, old-faced type. Illustrated with portraits of Sir John and Sir Richard Wynne, Views of Gwydir in 1684 and 1720; of Dolwyddelan Castle in 1742, and Llanrwst Bridge in 1781. A copy sent post free to any address in Great Britain or America on receipt of Twenty-one Shillings, by WOODALL and VENABLES, Publishers, Oswestry. From the Daily Netcs, Jan. 22nd, 1879. The thanks of antiquaries and historical students are due to Mr. Askew Roberts, of Oswestry, for his handsome reprint, with many valuable additions (Oswestry: Woodall and Venables), of the old memoir of the Gwydir Family, written by Sir John Wynne in the time of James II., and first published in 1770. This narrative comprises the only known account of the state of society in North Wales in the fifteenth and the earlier part of the sixteenth centuries and its little incidental sketches of the wild, [lawless condition of the country, and of the feuds of the different families who in certain districts were always contending for mastery, are curiously significant. The volume is accompanied by pedigrees, and by several interesting old portraits and views reproduced in facsimile. From the Chester Chronicle, Feb. 1. The enterprising proprietors of the Oswestry Advertizer have ust published, in a handsomely-bound volume, a history of the Gwydir familr, The work, which bears every trace of careful compilation, is dedicated as follows:—' To the Right Hon. Clementina Elizabeth (in her own right) Baroness Willoughby de Eresby, the representative of the old Gwydir stock, and the owner of the estate, the fourteenth who has borne that ancient barony, this edition of the History of the Gwydir Family is, by permission, respectfully dedicated.' The editor—the author of the popular Gossiping Guide to acknowledges with gratitude that this edition of the Gwydir history,—the fourth, the first having been published as early as 1770—owes its existence to the labours of W. W. E. Wynne, Esq., of Peniarth, who placed his 'copy' at the disposal of r. Askew Roberts, who in turn was assisted by the Rev. Canon Williams of Rhydycroesau. No library which assumes ■ to contain a complete collection of English and Welsh biographical literature ought to be without this valuable history of the Gwydir family." From the Wrexham Advertiser, Feb. 22. Mr. Askew Roberts has completed the laborious task he took in hand in drawing up a. new edition, carefully collated from various authentic sources, of Sir John Wynne's famous history of the Gwydir Family," and the result is a handsome quarto volume, reflecting great credit on the publishers, Messrs. Woodall and Venables, Oswestry. The 1st edition of this history was published in 1770, in duodecimo size (12 mo.), being edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, and the second edition was issued by him in his 4th" Miscellany," in 3781. A third edition was published by Miss Angharad IJwyd in 1827. The contents of all the above have been embodied in the present edition, with the painstaking labour of Mr. W. W. E. Wynne, of Peniarth, and including the additional information obtained from the Brogyntyn, Wynnstay, and Peniarth M.SS., and the Ministers' Accounts in the Public Record Office, London, to- ether with dates not in the previous editions.
