Scope and Content

Minute-book of the Radnorshire Society, a small group of Radnorshire gentlemen living in London, from its inception in 1789 to its demise in 1812, reflecting the Society's main preoccupation, that of fostering agricultural improvements in Radnorshire by offering premiums, especially for the cultivation of turnips (see R. C. B. Oliver, The London Radnorshire Society, 1789-1812, and its Chief Officers, Transactions of the Radnorshire Society, 59 (1989), 79-89). The Society should not be confused with the Radnorshire Agricultural Society which was not established until 1809 (see W. H. House, Radnorshire Agricultural Societies, Transactions of the Radnorshire Society, 15 (1945), 28-32). The minute-book also contains the rules of the Society (ff. 2v-3v) and included is a resolution, 1791 (ff. 16, 17) to subscribe to a Welsh-English dictionary, probably that of John Walters published in London in 1794.
