REVIEWS The Pembrokeshire County History By Brian Howells Thus far two volumes of the intended four volume set of the Pembrokeshire County History have been published: Volume III 1536-1815 (1987) edited by Brian Howells. Volume IV 1815-1974 (1993) edited by David Howell. Both have been received with high critical acclaim and both have established themselves as standard works on the history of early modern and modern Pembrokeshire. Members will be interested to hear that Volume II, Medieval Pembrokeshire, 1093-1536, is expected to appear before the end of 1998.
