TOURISTS' GUIDE TO CORNWALL
AND THE SCILLY ISLES.
=Containing full information concerning all the principal Places and
Objects of Interest in the County.=
By WALTER H. TREGELLAS, Chief Draughtsman, War Office.
'We cannot help expressing our delight with Mr. W. H. Tregellas's
masterly "Guide to Cornwall and the Scilly Isles." Mr. Tregellas is an
accomplished antiquary and scholar, and writes with love and complete
knowledge of his subject. For anyone interested in one of the most
interesting English counties we could recommend no better guide to its
geology, history, people, old language, industries, antiquities, as
well as topography; and the well-selected list of writers on Cornwall
will be of the greatest service in enabling the reader to pursue the
subject to its limits.'--_The Times._
'A capital Guide to Cornwall.'--_The Athenæum._
'Mr. Tregellas has compiled his Guide with great judgment. The general
tourist could not desire a better companion.'--_The Academy._
'The volume is written in a style much superior to that usually found
in guide-books, and every page is full of just the kind of information
that is being constantly looked for during a holiday trip.'--_The
Examiner._
'Altogether this is, far and away, the fullest and handiest Cornish
guidebook.'--_Western Morning News._
