Two books by Edmund Jones & One by Lewis Browning If it's not too late I wonder if you could include details of the recent publication of the above books in the Spring Edition of Gwent Local History. I enclose some back ground information on Edmund Jones this has been prepared as a preface to a future combined volume of both books which may not now be published. The book's have been republished in limited editions to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the founding of Ebenezer Church at Pontnewynydd (Tranch) Pontypool. These two books are extremely rare and were photographed from the originals held in Newport Central Library by Messrs Heard & Fawkes of Newport and printed By Messrs D. Brown & Sons of Bridgend. The reproduction is not perfect because of the condition of the originals. The other book by Lewis Browning is extremely scarce being a early work on the History of Bleanavon. I will offer a 10% Discount to all members provided they collect. Yours Sincerely J. E. OWEN Goytre Books PREFACE Edmund Jones. "The Old Prophet". The Author of this Work. was Born 1st.
