These last were unearthed in the Huntington Library, California. A new volume of Ceredigion, VIII, No. 1 (1976), published in 1978, included an article in Welsh on J. D. Lewis and the Gomerian press, Llandysul, by J. Tysul Jones, and contributions by Stuart Griffiths on the Welsh Intermediate Education Act and Cardiganshire; Francis Jones on Lloyd of Gilfachwen, Cilgwyn and Coedmore; and Alun Eirug Davies on Enclosures in Cardiganshire, 1750-1850. The Modern Records Centre, The University of Warwick, issued in 1978, The TaffVale Case, pp. 28, 40p, a handlist of an important collection of manuscript and printed records relating to the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants and its legal defeat by the Taff Vale Railway Company in the House of Lords in 1901 over the question of damages incurred by trade unions during industrial disputes. The materials on Taff Vale form only a fraction of the extensive records deposited at Warwick by the National Union of Railwaymen. Other themes illustrated by them include the railway strike of 1907 (settled amicably by Lloyd George, the president of the Board of Trade), the Osborne Judgement and the formation of the Triple Alliance in 1914.
