A typed transcript, 1948, of the memoirs and journal of Thomas Jones, Pencerrig, recounting his life in London, France and especially Italy during the second half of the eighteenth century. It was copied from another typescript (then owned by C. L. Evan-Thomas) of the original manuscript (now NLW MS 23812D).
The volume broadly covers the period from the 1760s to December 1783, with a final entry by Jones at Pencerrig, November 1798 (ff. 303-304). The main text is typed on the rectos only, with Jones' original notes reproduced on the facing versos. Facsimile copies of a sketch of Mt Vesuvius and a plan of Jones’ lodgings in Naples in 1780, apparently redrafted by the creator of the initial typescript, have been inserted after ff. 168 and 201.
