Book Description

Excerpt from West Country Songs The characteristics of Cornwall and the Cornish are rapidly passing away. More than a hundred years ago its language died. N ow its dialect is dying. It is useless to deplore it, for it is inevitable. The Celt, in England at any rate, is doomed to be absorbed by the Saxon. To us Cornishmen, who love so passionately the county that is our own, there comes a heartache as we think of the Cornwall of our fathers lost.
