Excerpt from Notes on the Parish of Mylor, Cornwall The great majority of us are convinced that the county of our birth is the best part of Eng land, and if we are folk country-born, that our parish is the most favoured spot in it. With something of this idea prompting me, I have en deavoured to look up all available information and documents, and elaborate such by personal recollections and by reference to authorities. My object has been to convey the results in the simplest way possible with the least scientific dis play. There is much to be found in old parish books, and much more might have been found if better care had been taken of them. Meagre as they are, they may be said to be the foundation of this volume. Remote as this county is from the rest of England, and this parish in particular, many primitive customs still exist, whilst others have died out within the memory of some still living, but deserve to be recorded.
