Cilgwyn Church Book. Valuable Extracts. BY "PHILIP SIDNEY." it was in April, 1860, that the late Mr. Walter D. Jeremy, London,—by birth a iiampeter man—made some extremely in- teresting extracts from the since missing Cilgwyn Church Book. His original sheets ef extracts are now before me, by the kind office,s of my old friend and his nephew, Principal W. J. Evans, M.A., of the Pres- byterian College. Pending the discovery of the Church Book" itself, any particu- lars gleaned directly from its pages cannot fail tobe of use to historians and othefs and so they are here and for the first time oommitted to the safe keeping of print. The extracts are in the order as written by Mr. Jeremy. "KILGWYN CHURCH BOOK, 1728." Freeholders, 1738.
