This work compiles the histories of various parishes in Cornwall, drawing from the manuscripts of earlier historians, Mr. Hals and Mr. Tonkin, and aims to provide a comprehensive record of the region's local history and geography. The book is notable for its detailed exploration of Cornwall's ecclesiastical and social history, as well as its geological context. The opening of this historical account presents an introduction by Davies Gilbert, where he shares his motivation for compiling the manuscript histories into a published work. He reflects on the challenges of gathering fragmented records and acknowledges the contributions of various contemporaries who assisted in his efforts. Throughout this section, there is an emphasis on the historical significance of the parishes, with mentions of their geographical boundaries and notable events, sprinkled with anecdotes from the past. The text sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Cornwall's rich history as the book progresses into specific parish accounts, offering statistics, local legends, and geological details that are intrinsic to each area discussed.
