Description:PREFACE.THE Hist forty pages, dealing with the chuiclies of liame, St. Johns, .Sheviock, and iSaltash, were originally read before the nienihers of the Plymouth Institution, in their lecture-hall at the Athengeuni, in December, 1886. It being thought that they were of sufficient interest to reprint, additions were made, and the subse<{uent one hundred and sixty odd pages of other churches grafted on, bringing the work to much larger proportions than were at all contemplated when first put in hand ; and the author of this result submits it to the kindly forbearance of those interested in genealogical mattei-s, though it is with considerable trepidation that he does so.He would claim for it to be nothing more than the result of spare hours snatched from professional engagements, where the object has been to gather as many facts for future use as could be obtained in the short time given, with due regard for accuracy; this must be his excuse for the want of more extended researches. The want of more copious references to wills is especially to be regretted. At the Probate Court at Bodmin the courteous Registrar (Mr. Basset Collins) gave every facility and assistance for research, his example being followed by his clerks ; while at Exeter the Registrar (Mr. Bayly) and his clerks threw every obstacle in the way of literary search, causing such delay and annoyance, that the attempt had to be given up. Consequently St, Germans, which ought to have had a large number of notes from wills, has none, it being one of the "Peculiars," and all the wills relating thereto going to Exeter in.stead of to Bodmin.The plan of giving only tlie substance of the insciiptiuns will doubtless be objected to by many; and the validity of such objection is admitted up to a certain point. If circumstances permitted an ecpial amount of ground to be covered, the same number of facts rendered accessible and safe from loss, then by all means print the inscriptions in full. But will this be found practicable 1 It means a large. expenditure of time, or a considerable additional outlay, to have them transcribed; further the matter to be printed would be very greatly increased, necessarily increasing the bulk and cost. Then the questions come, Is the value of the gain equal to the increased outlay] and are there sufHcient persons interested to ensure any one county being gone through iu that way, witliout pecuniary loss to the editor or printer 1The oljject in this attempt has been to give as much information as possible from original sources; to bring it, when possible, down to the present time; and to avoid what has already been printed. The plan adopted has been to take the mural monuments first, and then the floor-slabs, in each church. Where a series of memorials of one family are found, they follow consecutively. Extracts from the Registers relating to families commemorated have generally been given with each monument or series. To these have been added niorc general extracts from the Registei's of such entries as aj»peared most likely to be of interest; unusUal entries; persons from a distance, as appears by the name of the place from which they came; also those designated "Mr." or "gent." Want of time has necessarily curtailed these extracts, and made the selection A'ery difficult. Hundreds of entries of well-known names from the Heralds' Visitations crop up. What shall be taken, and what left? And the case must be judged and settled in less time than it takes to write the briefest entry, or each debated entry may as well be copied.
