11. The Diary of William
Thomas, 1762-1795
 The subject matter of the Diary is life in a corner of south-east
Glamorgan in the second half of the eighteenth century, as seen through the
eyes of a country schoolmaster. It gives an extraordinarily vivid picture of
life among the ordinary inhabitants of the
Cardiff area as well as being an
immensely useful source for genealogists. It is published in book form as a
substantial abridgement.
Edited
by R. W. T. Denning from a complete transcript by J. B. Davies and G. H.
Rhys.

Glyn
Parry in Morgannwg: ‘William Thomas’s legacy to posterity
deserves to be read by all those who are interested in our past. Having read
the diary, eighteenth-century Welsh society will never look quite the same
again.’
