LITERARY CHARACTERS, Off CORNWALL. 105 would ill become me
to say more, unless I were allowed to add, that several leading characters
of' " The Cornish Literary Society" (with whom I have been in the
habit of corresponding) used often to c• task my diligence" with the
present work, before X conceived the undertaking practicable. •
III. TuoucH from these views of our language and our
seminaries, it appear, that literature has not been neglected among us; yet,
the distance of Cornwall from the British capital, would furnish,
titles, station and fortune, (generally and with very few
exceptions, hest butted to ir) to hold m abhorrence and cretestuion the ittit,nes,
machinations, and pernicious views, and opurioos of disaffection, faction,
and schism, to go on to practice ourselves,:surf iccututnend to others, the
divine injuoetton of the inspired Apostle, Fear Ccid and borrow the King.
" I am. Rev. Sir, • • Your affectionate Brother." On mzLnquiritinto
the Jute of the library in:794, I received the following letter from a
gentleman of the first consider-'. The Cornwall Library proceeds at present
on the principle on which it at first set our. It is now exactly on the tame
footing at ever. Any book may be comulted either at home or abroad. Books of
reference ought certainly to remain in the library, for the general good, or
they would be useless in a great measure. I am sure you mon possess too touch
reason to be caught by the visionary scheme of circulating the books through
the county, limn Truro to Penzance, from thence so Laun-ceston, bask to
Penryn, thence to Lhkeard, Ike. or wherever the majority of subscribers
resided. Book' which you wanted not to see, would thus be crammed down your
throat for a limited time, whilst others, which you wished to comult, would
be travelling (oche other end of the county, and no book of any kind would
become stationary, till it was, in all Folasbility, in a state not ht to be consulte,l,
not to mention the expense of carriage, &c. That Irmo and the
neighbouthood roust be poor'. patty benefited, I urn featly to allow; but
whilst s book constantly lies on the library table, in which any subscriber
may, by setting down his rattle for a parocu'ar book, have the reading of
[bat book immediately on the expiration of the month, in which it is ordered
to lie tan the hbtery table, I cannot think that the benefit will be
exclusive. The subscriptions from the •county at large are to small in
propotuon to those in this neighbourhood, that a decided ocieteoce might
justly be claimed." • It was in the same rear that a Literary Society
was formed at Exeter:—they met every three week; at the Globe-ravern, at one
o'clock; recited literary compositions in prom and verse, and dined at three
o'clock. They at first omitted of nine • meta:az only; commemorated in this
little composition by the hand of a master: ° Collegie Neuenrvirali—In

or merit, in learning and the arts, can bi but feiv. A slight attention,
however, to their personal history, will esince the contrary; to the surprise
of those who are slow in giving credit to Cornwall (even in its old extent)
for her share in the literary reputation of the island. The West of England
may boast more, I think, than 'its proportionate nu:a:her of men of eminence.
So numerous, indeed, are they, that in reviewing them, a little mere order
was found necessary, than I at first conceived. In assigning to each his
proper place, whether versed in the sciences, or more remarkable for
philological acquirements, I shall consider SCIENCE as containing
MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS, MEDICINE, ETHICS, META.. PHYSICS, Law, DIVINITY; and
PHILOLOGY, as containing HirroRv, ORATORY, FORTRYi PAINTING, Music,

LASGVACE, LITERATURE, AND s%ght sketch Of the Natural Historyof
Cornwall; but it is a mere outline, Dr, Borlaje produced a picture, and as finished a one as England
had seen in his days. Dr. Borlase was born in 1696, at in the parish Of St. Just, and educated at
Exeter-college, Oxford, Where he took the
degree of M. A. in 1719. He was ordained priest in the ensuing year,
and two years afterwards was presented
to the rectory Of Ludgvan, which, with the vicarage of his native parish, was
all the preferment he obtained.
Settling at Ludgvan, he applied himself to professional duties; and to he added the studies Of natural history
and antiquities, to which the peculiar Character Of the county gave him a propensity; since
Cornwall is rich in fossils, and over most parts Of •it druidical remains are found scattered. An
Essay cn Cornish Crystals;' which he communicated to the Royal Society, was the cause Of his
election into that body, in 1749. In 1754, he
published his Antiquities, historical and monumental, of the County of
Cornwall," in folio; work Of
great enquiry and erudition. A second ,edition of this work, with additions,
and with additional plates and a new
maps appeared in 1769. His next publication was, Observa- tions Of the ancient and present State Of
the Islands Of Scilly, and their Importance to the trade Of Great Britain," •no, 1756. This
work, which an extension Of a paper read before the Royal Society, contains much curious
information concerning a part of the kingdom, before little known. His principal and most valuable
performance was, his Natural History of
fol.; a work which had been the assiduous employment Of many years,
and which made a Very important
accession to the mineralogical history Of Great Britain. The author, it is
true, did not possess the skill in the
several branches of natural history then prevalent in the best abroad,' and since, more common in this
island; but. being a faithful describer Of what he saw, he has collected many very useful
materials for subsequent systematists. ( f A collection of Of plates is embellahcdi arc valuable of

interesting kind. If it please to grant him health to perfect it, I think few that have ever
preceded it, will considered as giving an equally tinct insight into the mysterious laws of
nature. By the application of galvanism to potash and soda, Davy has compelled these bodies to
divide themselves. into two parrs, the one oxigen, the Other, what he considers as their basis.

amalgamates also with other metals;, but its avidity for oxigen is such, it does not lcng remain as a metal
in any mixture; but gNdually changes into the

and the botanist (wh ose researches hare passed under consideration) medicine derives its
prime sapport. And in the line Of MEDICINE (Without preface) I Shall present to my readers a
few Of our medical men. Our earlier
physicians were, in general, so extremely ignorant and superstitious, that to
place them on a footing with the Old
Cornish doctors, the Druids, would be to rate their knowlege or their practice far beyong its value. Our
most learned physicians were astrologers. Such Was rector ef Whitstone, in this county. He
died in 1561. But our medical men

they will find any more able than Parr-aud Daniell. Parr possesses. great

Of Dr. Daniell (Of whom I hsve little personal knowlcge) have heard a
similar character. That his address is
such as to do honour to house Of Poltimore, I can, from myself, assert.
TO speak Of Other physicians, and Of
the surgeons and apothecaries Of high merit in aur BritiÆ metropolis, the time would fail me; though
to passtbename Of S/.rldon without notice would be utterly inexcusable. Not that applause
blame-from me could any Mr. Sheldon,
whose genius and skill in surgery are, even in the Royal Academy of
Arts, the theme Of admi— ration. The
Exeter-hospital gained lately new honour by the election Of Mr. Sheldon as
one Of its surgeons. In Our Way to the
Westward we pass through where, though we had
Huxham, a Mudge, and a Musgrave, we must not long protract our Stay.
The fame of Dr.Huxham surpasses,
perhaps, that Of any physician the West; but to Write his memoirs, would be
merely to repeat what is atready
before the public. His essay on fever, and dissertation on the sore
throat, arg of great celebrity. And •the
Philosophical Transa"ns have, from Dr. Huxham's papers, attained a higher value. Dr.Mudge was
famous as an experimental philosopher and a surgeon, before he appeared •in ahe a physician. If
I recollect rightly, he was honoured with
medal from the Royal Society, in consequence Of his treatise on the
Small POX. He died at 72, Dr. Samuel
according to the critics, •was more familiar with Euripides than With 'Galen; and, in the popular Opinion, 'more
attached to politics than medicine. But the judgment .0f the learned, and the voice Of the
people, are both, perhaps, unjust to his memory. so thought May. This gentleman (whotn We meet at

LITERARY CJ'ARACTERS, OV COUSWAI.I» About the time Of the Reformation,
Christianity appeared gradually emerging from the glc»m that had obscured it. From the pulpit
(though sermons run most immoderate length)
vas less perplexed, and exhortation more natural: and from the press
issued works, where common was not
wholly lost in definition. But, in as the stiffness Of technical terms relaxed, a ridiculous quaintness of
expression seemed to prevail, especially with 'Kg preacher' of that fantastic monarch, James I. On the
accession Of Henry V Ill. to the throne, find Bishop at the head Of affairs; but he Was more Of
a politician than divine. (a) In the i AsOleDCe Of however, he met a severe check to his
worldly ambition. That the Cardinal was rector Of
of Dublin, in contintRd twenty-two deceasing in Dublig. am Of disgraccd oa cpiupb.

I,nSGVAGE, LITERATURE, ASD of Torrington is not, perhaps, generally
known; (b) nor, perhaps, that PCI", the other famous Cardinal, dean Of Exeter. (c) It is a doubt
with Wood, whether Vivian, the suffragan
bishop, Was the same person With Vivian the rector Of Exeter-college:
if not, they were Con. temporaries.
(d) Of Dr. Moreman, dean Of Exeter, and rector Of Menheniet, I have
already spoken. He was a native Of
Southole. (e) The character, however, that chiefly distinguished the period before us, Was Mile' who, as
translator Of the Bible, ought not to be hastily dismissed. ( f ) From Edward to James I.
