first and classic description of Cornwall, The first of two parts

communications, and government, anddiscusses the Cornish people,
their speech, customs and recreations. The second part takes us on
a tour through the nine hundreds of Cornwall, with particular
attention to natural features and curiosities, towns, and
gentlemen'sseats. The Survey gives us both a delightful picture of
Tudor Cornwall and an essential resource for studying its history.
This edition provides the reader with a facsimile reproduction of
Carew's book, together with an introduction explaining his life,
work, and importance, and a full index to the contents of the work.
