A survey of the cathedral-church of St. David's,

A copy of Browne Willis, A Survey of the Cathedral-Church of St. David's . . . (London, [c. 1730]), being a re-issue of the 1717 edition with a new title-page and supplementary material in the form of a twenty-two page list of churches, dedications and patrons later included in the author's Parochiale Anglicanum (1733). The volume contains copious manuscript additions, emendations and inserts, many of which are probably in the hand of Edward Yardley, archdeacon of Cardigan, quoting information received from various sources, including William Gambold and H[enry] Goffe. A Table of Kings and Queens. . ., being a printed page from an almanac recording the regnal dates of English monarchs from William the Conqueror to George II, is to be found pasted onto a fly-leaf. The present copy lacks the publisher's list which should face the title- page, as well as a plan and plate of the cathedral which should precede page one. The coats of arms between pages 92 to 93 are coloured.
