Item description from seller

40 pages. This 1857 article by Herman Merivale surveys the literary and historical treatment of Cornwall, lamenting the absence of a comprehensive county history despite the regionâs rich cultural and geographical distinctiveness. Merivale contrasts Cornwall with Northamptonshire, noting that while the latter enjoys a detailed historical record, Cornwall remains reliant on scattered travel sketches, poetic impressions, and antiquarian fragments. The piece draws on works by Carew, Redding, Wilkie Collins, and others, and reflects on the regionâs mining heritage, dramatic coastline, and enduring Celtic identity. Merivale discusses the historical divide between the Cornu-Britons and the Saxons, the persistence of Arthurian traditions, and the pride of Cornish genealogies. The article is both a literary review and a call for deeper historical scholarship, offering a portrait of Cornwall as a place of beauty, mystery, and neglected documentation. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 18 x 26 cms. Category: Quarterly Review; Special Interest. Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on. Softcover (Booklet - Unbound Pages).
