A collection of verses, by the University of Oxford, on the death of Sir Beville Grenville, was printed in 1643, and reprinted in 1684. To these are annexed King Charles’s Letters to Sir Beville Grenville, and to the county of Cornwall; and a patent of Charles I. which grants to the county of Cornwall a trade to Denmark, to the great Duke of Muscovy, and to the Levant. Martin Llewellyn was a poet and physician, and was sometime principal of St. Mary Hall, in Oxford: in the latter part of his life he resided at High Wycomb; died there in 1682, and lies buried in the north aisle of the chancel. Footnote 39: Newport, which was antiently under the jurisdiction of the town of Launceston, is one of the notorious Boroughs of Cornwall, having returned members to Parliament since the reign of Edward VI. The number of voters, does not, in general, exceed 30 persons. Footnote 40: In the course of the proceedings on the election case in 1803, when the rights of the Corporation were confirmed, it appeared from records, that there was a Mayor in the reign of Richard II.

Mr. Whitaker (Life of Neot, pp. 191–203) thinks the date is intended for 1530; and that the body of the Church was built in 1199,—a wild conjecture, in defiance of architectural evidence! Footnote 44: See Gorham’s History of St. Neot’s, pp. 233–245. Footnote 45: Archives of Linc. Cath., in a vol. entitled, “Memoranda Oliveri Sutton,” ff. 122 b., 123, a curious testimonial by Anselm, Abbot of Bec., of his examination of the relics of St. Neot, in 1078. Footnote 46: Whitaker’s Life of Neot, pp. 203–211. Footnote 47: Bodmin has been described by many writers, as a very unhealthy place; the contrary, however, is the fact: for during the last ten years, the number of funerals have only been 409, and baptisms 854.—The town suffered much in the years 1576 and 1581, from a pestilence. It is now remarkable for the health and longevity of the inhabitants. Footnote 48: Owing unfortunately to the bursting of the boilers of some of the engines at this mine, very lately, two men lost their lives; but most fortunately many others had previously quitted their work, or otherwise they would have experienced the same melancholy fate. Footnote 49: One of the vague terms sometimes given to the crust or coating of the ore, sometimes to an argillaceous substance, and sometimes to a quartz ore one. The miners have pretty generally determined, however, that caple must be black; and at Polgooth they mean a heavy kind of quartz, which is perfectly opake, and contains a large portion of argill.
