  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.

BLACK'S GUIDE TO CORNWALL EDITED BY A. R. HOPE MONCRIEFF TWENTY-SECOND EDITION WITH MAPS AND PLANS A. & C. BLACK, LTD. 4» 5 & 6 SOHO SQUARE, LONDON 1919 Twenty-second edition revised and brought up to datt by G. E. Mitton 1915 iw04 .i;[££nio, On^:; PREFACE In the present edition of our Guide to Cornwall greater importance has been given to the popular coast resorts, some of which are coming more and more into note both as summer and as winter havens. With these, as far as possible, we have connected the various points of interest most often visited on excursions from them, so that different sections will serve as small handbooks to Fowey, Falmouth, Penzance, the Lizard, the Land's End, Newquay, Tintagel, and other spots where strangers are most likely to take up their quarters. As usual, we have tried to make our pages both readable and practical, entering into the spirit of the scene without over-loading our descriptive outlines with too much detail, which, in the case of a longer stay at any place, could be sought in local guides and more elaborate works, duly referred to for the benefit of our readers. Our principle is that a guide-book for use by passing tourists may contain too many facts as well as too few, the latter fault, of course, the more unpardonable : our aim has been to avoid either extreme, with regard for proper proportion and the needs of the kind of reader chiefly kept in view.
