Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Parochial and Family History of the Parish and Borough of Bodmin, in the County of Cornwall
Whilst thanking his friends at a distance, and the comparatively few inhabitants of Bodmin who have favoured him with their support in this laborious undertaking, he begs that they will kindly make allowance for the difficulties inseparable from such a work. Notwithstanding much anxiety and care, it is impossible that a book like this, comprised mainly of names and dates, should be free from errors, and the Author trusts they will be viewed with indulgence. Many mistakes have been corrected in the Addenda and Corrigenda sheet at the end, but the Author fears many still remain unnoticed. He will be glad to have them pointed out to him for correction hereafter.
The Author would ill requite the kindness he has received did he not acknowledge the obligations he is under to a large number of friends for more or less assistance in the prosecution of his researches. As the number is too great to mention each separately, it might be deemed invidious to name any; but he must express his thanks, particularly, to two whose skill and taste have greatly enhanced the attraction of the book. The Heraldic drawings on wood for the engraver were executed by G. T. Romilly, Esq., and those for the other wood engravings by the Rev. W. Iago of Bodmin.
