Walters" aim was to enable Welsh writers to discuss all areas of scholarship in Welsh, and thus his dictionary derived its contents from literary as well as spoken sources of Welsh. He also coined several new words, many of which are still in use today.Walters convinced printer Rhys Thomas to establish Glamorgan's first printing press at Cowbridge.

First edition of the first book printed in Glamorganshire, slim 8vo, 70pp., with the half-title, later cloth, unlabeled; dampstain pervades lower margin through first half, with minor loss of paper to the title and half-title. Walters' major work was the compilation of his English-Welsh dictionary (1770-94, issued in 18 parts), and it was in connection with this that the first printing press was established in Glamorgan. Rhys Thomas, his printer, removed to Cowbridge from Llandovery in Carmathan, in 1771 so that he could be within a few miles of the compiler. This dissertation was subsequently appended to each edition of the dictionary which "even to the present day, is unrivaled for its excellence in the idiomatic renderings of sentences, and shows the compiler to have been a master of the idiom and phraseology of the Welsh language." The work, however, "proved a great financial loss to the author" (see DNB XX, 719).

Walters is the author of the magisterial and still relevant Dictionary of the Welsh Language (1770-1794). Walters needed a printer nearby and Rhys Thomas moved to Cowbridge to establish the first press in Glamorganshire, and this is its first product.Provenance: Henry Balckwell (1851-1928) left Britain for New York in 1877 and ran a large bindery. 'Blackwell played a prominent part in the Welsh-American life of his adopted country. He was a life-member of the S. Davids Society of the State of New York, a life-member of the Virginia Historical Society, one of the founders of the Ex-Libris Society, Washington, a vice-president and governor of the American Society, 1912, a member of the Welsh Society of Philadelphia, and a member of a committee formed in 1890 to found a chair of Celtic at Marietta College. He was secretary of the eisteddfod held in New York in February 1886; at this eisteddfod he won the prize for a bibliography of Welsh books and Welsh authors in America. He was also secretary of the New York eisteddfod of 1888. In Britain he was a member of the Hon. Society of Cymmrodorion and of the Welsh Bibliographical Society. He visited Wales in 1911 for the national eisteddfod held at Carmarthen . At one time Blackwell possessed what was probably the most extensive library in America relating to Wales' (Dictionary of Welsh Biography).
