"Cornish Worthies: Sketches of Some Eminent Cornish Men and Families, Volume I." by Walter H. Tregellas is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work features sketches of notable individuals and families from Cornwall, aiming to highlight their contributions and legacy. It encompasses a wide range of subjects, from philanthropists and politicians to military leaders and artists, showcasing the rich historical tapestry of the region. At the start of the volume, the author sets the tone by discussing the necessity of chronicling Cornwall's distinguished figures, arguing that they have often been overlooked. The introduction lays the groundwork for the sketches, explaining the criteria for selection, which includes significance, diversity, and reader engagement. Tregellas reflects on the historical importance of these individuals, hinting at the depth of their stories, and emphasizes his commitment to a narrative that honors their diverse contributions to society. The opening chapters introduce readers to Ralph Allen, a figure of business and philanthropy, and John Anstis, herald and scholar, establishing a focus on the lives and legacies that have shaped Cornwall.
