The greater part of this parish is situated on granite, which presents the varieties common to the Land’s End district. The northern part, in the form of an irregular band, consists of schistose rocks, with the exception of a small patch a little to the north of the church, and another which extends from Polmear Cove to the western boundary of the parish. These slates are for the most part felspathic, and, at their points of junction with the granite, exhibit some beautiful illustrations of granitic veins in the slate. * * * * * Note, that Penzance, by a mistake, is not numbered among the parishes [nor is Tregoney]; so that the real number of them must be 204 [or rather 205]. GENERAL REMARKS ADDED HERE BY MR. WHITAKER. It is stated by Carew: Fol. 8. “They [the Cornish Tinners] maintaine these workes [“two kind of Tynne workes, _Stream_ and _Load_”] to have beene verie auncient, and first wrought by the Jewes with _Pick-axes_ of holme, boxe, and _hartshorne_: they prove this by the name of those places yet enduring, to wit _Attall Sarazin_, in English, the _Jewes’ Offcast_, and by _those tooles daily_ found amongst the _rubble of such workes_.” So, in the stream-work now prosecuted at Carne between Truro and Penrin, were found two stems of deer-horns, which I inspected at Tregothnan in Nov. 1792, and which had been plainly shaped into pickaxes. One of them was even tinged strongly at the picking end, with the stain of some metallic matter on which it has been employed. Not far from them was found a brass instrument, that had clearly, from the shade still remaining upon the covered part, once had a handle clipping it round the middle, and leaving out the two ends for striking. July 19, 1794, was promised by Lady Falmouth a sketch of all three, done by the hand of the Rev. Mr. Hennah, Rector of St. Austle; but, as he had pronounced the brass instrument to be no celt, and as I proved it to be one, he never sent the sketch. “There are also taken up in such works,” adds Carew, “certaine little tooles’ heads of brasse, which some terme thunder axes; but they make small show of any profitable use. Neither were the Romaines ignorant of this trade, as may appeare by a brasse coyne of DOMITIAN’S, found in one of these workes,” stream or load, “and fallen into my hands.”
