About This Book

A detailed travel narrative that follows the southern Cornish shore from the Tamar estuary westward through fishing villages, estuaries, and headlands to Land's End and then to the Isles of Scilly. It combines route-by-route descriptions, local history, topographical notes, and accounts of shipwrecks, smuggling, and maritime life, with chapters on towns such as Looe, Fowey, Falmouth, and Penzance, industrial notes on china-clay works, and features on lighthouses, churches, and natural coves. Illustrated maps and plates accompany practical observations, antiquarian anecdotes, and reflections on coastal customs and landscape.

Printed and bound by Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury.

Transcriber's Notes:

Footnotes have been moved to the end of the text just before the index and relabeled consecutively through the document.

Illustrations have been moved to paragraph breaks near where they are discussed.

Punctuation has been made consistent.

The Contents entry and chapter header for Chapter IX list "St. Anthony-in-Roseland," but the presentation in the chapter is for "St. Anthony-in-Meneage."

Variations in spelling and hyphenation were retained as they appear in the original publication, except as noted below.

Changes have been made as follows:

Page 3: Inserted "a" (beautiful as a Thames-side)

Page 10: "circuituous" changed to "circuitous" (most circuitous loops)

Page 106: "Alafs" changed to "Alass" (Alass Frend Joseph)

Page 176: "obession" changed to "obsession" (an obsession, not)

Page 220: "as" changed to "a" (Penzance as a great)

Page 272: "thee ntire" changed to "the entire" (upon the entire group)
