Excerpt from The Mines of Cornwall and Devon: Statistics and Observations, Illustrated by Maps, Plans, and Sections of the Several Mining Districts in the Two CountriesThe historical events that have occurred within their confines, form as interesting pages in our history as any that compose it. Whether looking into the dim distance of intercourse with Phoe nicians and Greeks, the struggles of the middle ages, moral and political, the resistance offered to the tyrannical Norman, the romantic enterprise of Perkin Warbeck, the wars for civil and religious liberty, issuing first in the Commonwealth and then in the Restoration, the landing of the Prince of Orange, and the many incidents of more modern times, the two south-western counties stand out in our history with noble prominence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
