Poetry and prose pieces, mainly drafts, by John Ceiriog Hughes (ff. 5 verso-6 verso, 11 recto-verso, 25 verso, 27 verso-52), written in a volume previously used as a ledger, probably by a Yorkshire or Lancashire manufacturer or trader, 1833-1850, and containing particulars of financial and trade transactions and details of wages paid to weavers, 1834 (ff. 2 verso-30 verso).
Ceiriog subsequently repurposed the volume as a scrap book, pasting in numerous press cuttings and obscuring the original text. At NLW the cuttings were floated off and mounted in separate volumes (see NLW MSS 4552-3D).
