A good copy of the rare Elephant Folio edition (17 * 14 inch). Title continues: Accompanied by a description, topographical and historical of the County of Caernarvon. Jones, inspector of schools and antiquary, brought the application of critical method to the study of Welsh archeology and history, leading to a break with Ab Ithel and the obscurantist school of Welsh historians associated with Iolo Morgannwg. Thereafter Jones dedicated the journal to rigorous historical scholarship, both through his own contributions in the form of learned articles and fine pencilled drawings of cromlechs and inscribed stones, and by providing an outlet for such gifted scholars as Thomas Stephens.
