CORNISH WORTHIES Volumes 1 and 2 by Walter H. Tregellas

Description

Published in 1884 this set of two volumes contains, what is described by the author as being "Sketches of Some Eminent Cornish Men and Families". Describing them as being sketches is rather doing an injustice to his work, as most are exceptionally well researched and not at all lacking in detail.

Some of those mentioned are The Arundells, William Borlase, Davy and Mrs Boscawen to name just a few. For anyone who had an interest in Cornwall, its families and history this book in CD form is a very welcome addition to any collection.
