A very Good copy. Jones had prepared a 3rd vol, a portion of which was published at his death, the remainder being issued later. Title continues: And other admirable rarities; forming the second volume of the Musical, Poetical, and Historical Relicks of the Welsh Bards and Druids: etc. (Lowndes 1225. Livbri Walliae 2848). Jones, harpist and music antiquary, was a serious scholar who made a notable contribution to the antiquarianism which typified much of the scholarship of his period. His library was extensive, and his research into both primary and secondary sources, including the old Welsh laws and Welsh grammars, enabled him not only to present music, but also to write in some depth about it. An emphasis on scholarly discourse is characteristic of his major works. For instance, two-thirds of his first important work, a collection of Welsh melodies entitled The Musical and Poetical Relicks of the Welsh Bards (1784), is devoted to a series of essays on Welsh music and the bardic tradition, including an extensive 'Historical account of the Welsh bards'.
