I have found references to other French Language Books with the Brynkinalt Library Label. Also: There is a reference to Madame De Genlis visiting "The Ladies of Llangollen" in 1791. As Brynkinalt Hall is only a few miles away it would be possible to make a connection. ** "Caroline-Stéphanie-Félicité, Madame de Genlis (25 January 1746 – 31 December 1830) was a French writer of the late 18th and early 19th century, known for her novels and theories of children's education. She is now best remembered for her journals and the historical perspective they provide on her life and times." - See Wikipedia *** ""Brynkinalt Hall, Chirk, Wrexham has been home to the Trevor family since it was built in 1612 and the library was redesigned in the 1800s.
