Not illustrated. 1855. Excerpt: ... REDRUTH--VIEW FROM CARN BREA. We have arrived safely at Redruth town, called originally Dedruith, and supposed to be one of the most ancient inhabited spots in the kingdom. It consists of one principal street of considerable length, and is situated on an eminence in the midst of a wide mining district, and surrounded by a bleak and unsheltered country. On a market-day the town presents a lively appearance, perhaps from the whole being comprised in this one long street. The chief amusement of tbe Redruthians seem to consist in parading up and down this long street, which doubtless, in their opinion, is equal to Regent-street in a Londoner's. As we entered the town, a horse and cart ran away down this hilly street, dashing furiously through market stalls, and upsetting whole gardens of vegetables, together with crockery, and old women and young children, all of whom (I mean the living beings) miraculously escaped unhurt. Some wise man diverted the horse's course towards the porch of the chief hotel, which we had been about to enter, but we advanced and fixed our abode higher up the street. Had we been two New Zealanders, we could not have attracted more attention than we did as we subsequently paraded the main street of Redruth. Observations were freely made upon us, some of which were more curious than courteous. Some thought we were Exeter men, some said we were "Luniners," come to buy shares in mines or sell them, and others that we intended to set up as quack doctors, my companion to attend to one branch and I to another. My readers must now understand that we have arrived at our central quarters for mining expeditions and researches. This town is decidedly the best and most central for excursions to mines of mark and metallic note. Here we are in the h...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
