A volume containing a catalogue of the books, paintings and sculptures at Glanrheidol, Llanbadarn Fawr, Cardiganshire (ff. 31 verso-50), compiled 1856-1858, by James Hughes, Glanrheidol, and an amanuensis, with additions in pencil in Hughes' hand regarding the relocation of some of the paintings within the house.

The volume was previously used, [c. 1820], for a catalogue of the contents of an unnamed library (ff. 3 verso, 4 verso, 5 verso-30 verso). These books, arranged under broad subject headings and mostly on agriculture and horticulture, biography, history, law, literature, religion, science and travel, were mainly published during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries; a small number are in Welsh or about Wales.

A pedigree, [17 cent, last ¼], of Hugh Jones of Bottegir [Bodtegir], [Betws Gwerful Goch, Denbighshire], reciting his paternal ancestors back to Adam. This may be the Hugh Jones buried at Betws Gwerful Goch on 2 January 1716.
The pedigree is said to be based on the work of Gutun Owain ('Thus by Gyttyn Owens booke who flourished in King Henry the seaven his time'); the earlier portions, listing mythical and legendary kings of Britain (after Geoffrey of Monmouth), the descendants of Brutus and Eneas Ysgwyddwyn [Aeneas], figures from Roman mythology and the Biblical Patriarchs from Noah to Adam, closely mirrors Gutun Owain's genealogical text in NLW MS 3026C, pp. 63-81. More recent generations consist of mostly genuine rulers of Powys, descended from Kasnar Waledig [Casnar Wledig]. The pedigree is not recorded in Michael Powell Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996).
