The Royal Society is indebted to Dr. Borlase for about twenty different communications, and in addition to all these labours, he for several years undertook the care of some private pupils, and had together under his roof the heirs of the principal families in the neighbourhood, Hawkins, St. Aubyn, and Vyvyan. A plain stone has been laid over his remains in Ludgven Church, with an inscription rendered almost illegible in the short period of sixty years. The monument of some distinguished person bears an inscription ending with these words: Commemorat hæc tabula brevi et ipsa interitura. But we may console ourselves with a better reflection,―― Ανδρων γαρ επιφανων πασα Γη Ταφος, και ου Στηλων μονον εν τῃ οικειᾳ σημαινει επιγραφη, αλλα και εν τῃ μη προσηκουσῃ αγραφος μνημη παρ’ εκαστῳ της γνωμης μαλλον η του εργου ενδιαιταται. Dr. William Borlase left two sons, one a Fellow of All Souls College, and subsequently presented to the University living of South Tetherwin near Launceston. He married Miss Alice Dewen of Marazion, but died without a family. The other son was rector of St. Mewan, and his grandson is now in possession of the family estates, not one of the numerous sons of Dr. Walter Borlase having left a male heir. Since the decease of Dr. William Borlase, two permanent rectors have alone held the church up to the last year 1834, Mr. Herbert Praed, second son of Mr. Humphry Mackworth Praed of Trevethow, and Mr. John Stephens of Tregenna; but their relative situations, in regard to the individuals possessing the right of presentation, have induced many to conjecture that this power may have been exercised from considerations not strictly conformable to those in contemplation when advowsons were entrusted to private hands. Mr. Stephens is succeeded by the Rev. Henry Elliot Graham; a relation or connection of the gentleman now representing the Powlet family. The chief proprietor of land in this parish is the Rev. John Rogers of Penrose, canon residentiary of Exeter. Mr. Gregar of Trewarthenick has also some farms; and as leasehold proprietors, the family of Curnow have been ancient residents. The parish feast is kept on the nearest Sunday to St. Paul’s Day, January 25. This parish measures 3941 statute acres. Annual value of the Real Property, as £. _s._ _d._ returned to Parliament in 1815 5755 0 0 Poor Rate in 1831 561 3 0 Population, { in 1801, | in 1811, | in 1821, | in 1831, { 1324 | 1491 | 1839 | 2322 giving an increase of 75 per cent. in 30 years.
