Two other works in Welsh were also published in Philadelphia during these early years. The firm of Benjamin Franklin and Hugh Meredydd published a Welsh translation of an English book by Benjamin Wallin, Y Dull a Fedyddio a dwfr (The Manner of Baptising with Water), in 1730. Meredydd, a Welshman, later aided Franklin in pulishing the noted Pennsylvania Gazette. The other work in Welsh entitled simply, A Welsh Pamphlet, was a reprint of a British original printed by Andrew Bradford in 1735. It dealt with moral reflections on death, judgment, Heaven and Hell.
