A History of the County of Brecknock

At the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, many comprehensive texts were written on local and county history in Wales. This volume by Theophilus Jones however is the most refined and polished of them all. Jones’s account of the history of Brecknock is generally of a scholarly nature and despite its biased tone; it is the most noted record of local history in Wales to be published. Theophilus Jones was the grandson of renowned historian Theophilus Evans.
