Nearly all the letters contain references to ornithology, and particularly to Latham's books on this subject. That addressed to David Pennant, 11 October, 1820, is written on a copy of the prospectus of Latham's biggest work, A General History of Birds, which was published eventually in eleven volumes.

Mr. William Rees of West Kirby has presented correspondence, medals, and an illuminated address received by his grandfather, the Reverend William Rees, D.D., Gwilym Hiraethog' (1802-1883 D.N.B. xlvii, 403).

Only one (Feb. 6, '61) of the Mazzini letters is fully dated. Four of them were printed in William Rees (Hiraethog) A Memoir by his son Ebenezer Rees edited by H.

Dr. John Williams (afterwards Sir John Williams, Bart.) was commissioned to hand the medal in person to Gwilym Hiraethog in 1883. E. D. JONES.
