5.0 out of 5 stars `A Supplement to Rowlands's Mona Antiqua Restaurata', 30 April 2008
By Robert Williams "Publisher, Llyfrau Magma" (Isle of Anglesey, Wales / Ynys Môn, Cymru) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This History of the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales book is subtitled 'from its first Invasion by the Romans, until finally acceded to the Crown of England; together with a distinct Description of the Towns, Harbours, Villages, and other Remarkable Places in it; and of several Antiquities relating thereforeto never before made public'.

This is a casebound same-size facsimile reprint of the first edition, which was 'printed for J. Dodsley in Pall-Mall' in 1775. The book is described on its title page as `A Supplement to Rowlands's Mona Antiqua Restaurata' (of which a second edition, edited by Dr Henry Owen, had been published in 1766).

Often referred to as the 'Dodsley' History of Anglesey (after its London publisher), the authorship of this History has been attributed to the Reverend John Thomas of Llandegai. After John Thomas's death in 1769, his manuscript seems to have been edited (some say plagiarised, although his name appears nowhere in the book) by an aspiring antiquary, Rev. Nicholas Owen, who was born in 1752 at Llandyfrydog in Anglesey.

The volume also includes appendices: `A Catalogue of the Rectories, Vicarages and Chapels in the Isle of Anglesey', and an account of the life of Owain Glyndwr by the Reverend Thomas Ellis (1625-73).
