Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Manuscripts Relating to Wales in the British Museum The present is the fist part of a volume that is intended to be of practical use to those whose desire to know what the British Museum contains in the way of manuscripts relating to Wales. Its purpose is sufficiently indicated by its title, but a few words may be permitted upon the scope of the work, and the method by which the attainment of such a purpose has been sought. Printed or written catalogues already exist of the several collections of manuscripts at the British Museum, and their entries have also been brought together and arranged under subjects in the hundred and ten volumes of the Class Catalogue which constitutes the catalogue most frequently in use in the Ms. Department of the Museum. It accordingly follows that any minor catalogue must be based upon catalogues already in existence, and can comprise no more than a selection of items expanded and modified to meet particular requirements. In compiling the present Catalogue the needs of those who reside in Wales have been primarily considered. They for the most part are within easy reach of the British Museum. Many of them visit the Metropolis frequently, and would probably be glad to devote a portion of their leisure to the transcription of documents relating to subjects in which they are interested, did they possess some initial knowledge of what they are likely to meet with. To this class it is hoped the present Catalogue will prove both useful and stimulating. The same hope may be expressed in regard to the happily increasing number of Welshmen and non-Welshmen who take an interest in subjects connected with Wales for the study of which an acquaintance with the manuscript materials in the British Museum is essential, but whose lines are laid in places too remote fora personal visit thereto.
