Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cassiterides: An Inquiry Into the Commercial Operations of the Phoenicians in Western Europe, With Particular Reference to the British Tin Trade In these circumstances the Author has renewed his acquaintance With the subject, and has carefully considered all that has been said on the other sldo; and, finding his former convictions not only unshaken, but greatly strengthened, by the inquiry, has been induced to put forth the following brief essay, which, if it does nothing toward removing the doubts of those who are sceptical as to the ancient Phoenicians having Visited Cornwall for the purchase of tin, may at least serve as an apology for those who, like him, in opposi tion to such authorities, still entertain old fashioned opinions on this subject.

Of the fifteen other craftsmen who petitioned for the Charter, the majority seem also to have been free of the lronmongers' Company, and it is clear that tin-plate working and wire working had been a regular branch of the ironmongers' trade.

Download or read book Tin in Antiquity written by R.D. Penhallurick and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Tin in Antiquity' is the first comprehensive history of the early metallurgy of tin, a mine of information on this rare, highly prized metal so vital to the developing civilization of the Bronze Age. The origins of tin have always been a mystery, but the author has unearthed archaeological evidence from all over the world to trace the tinfields used before the discovery of European deposits. He takes us on a fascinating voyage of discovery through the Ancient World, delving into mythology, and enlivening his scholarly text with quotations from the Classics and humorous anecdotes. As his name suggests, Roger Penhallurick's roots are deep in Cornwall- formerly the world's largest tin producer, and still the greatest in Europe. So it is fitting that the Cornish section comprises almost half the book, for the first time collecting together all the evidence for tin streaming between 2000 BC and AD 1000. All surviving artifacts recovered from the tin workings are illustrated and put in their archaeological context. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout, including many rare old photos, and has a full bibliography of the wealth of sources that have contributed to this work.

This book was released on 2017-01-07 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of England; American Notes; Pictures From Italy; Miscellanies In the old days, a long, long while ago, before Our Saviour was born on earth and lay asleep in a manger, these Islands were in the same place, and the stormy sea roared round them, just as it roars now. But the sea was not alive, then, with great ships and brave sailors, sailing to and from all parts of the world. It was very lonely. The Islands lay solitary, in the great expanse of water. The foaming waves dashed against their cliffs, and the bleak winds blew over their forests; but the winds and waves brought no adventurers to land upon the Islands, and the savage Islanders knew nothing of the rest of the world, and the rest Of the world knew nothing of them. It is supposed that the Phoenicians, Who were an ancient people, famous for carrying on trade, came in ships to these Islands, and found that they produced tin and lead; both very useful things, as you know, and both produced to this very hour upon the sea-coast. The most celebrated tin mines in Cornwall are, still, close to the sea. One of them, which I have seen, is so close to it that it is hollowed out underneath the ocean; and the miners say, that in stormy weather, when they are at work down in that deep place.

Download or read book The Trade of the World Classic Reprint written by James Davenport Whelpley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trade of the World The Trade of the World, including as it does prac tically all the activities of the human race, is of a scope so tremendous in its broader meaning that to choose this title for a book seems almost pre sumptuous. In this volume no pretense is made of discussing the subject fully or finally; nor is it possi ble to particularise concerning more than a few of the most important or typical countries whose trad ings go to make up the enormous total. If, however, the reader may obtain a better appreciation of the common sense, wisdom, knowledge and courage re quired, not only of the individual but of nations, in seeking successfully a fair share of international commerce, the purpose of the work will have been achieved. That we must know a land and its peo ple before we can strengthen mutual bonds of trade and friendship, is fundamental, yet it is an axiom, the truth of which is often forgotten, ignored, or per haps even never realized. Successful international trading rests on bigger things than mere exchanges of commodities; these in their fullest development follow mutual knowledge and understanding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Silver and Gold Can thought conceive of a time when men were not segregated in groups for community life? Even when their wants were of the simplest, and barter the only means of trade, it must inevitablyhave happened that a fixed standard developed, and it is curious to reflect that in different countries the standard of measurement varied from two ephas of corn to a yoke of oxen. And just fancy all the commodities that have served for currency! Tin passed in ancient Britain, iron in Sparta, cattle in Rome, platinum in Russia, lead in Burmah, nails in old Scotland, silk in China, cubes of pressed tea in: T artary, salt in Abyssinia and wampum or clam shells among our aborigines and our pioneer patriots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the County of Cornwall, Vol. 5: Romano-British Remains These facts forbid us to examine Roman Cornwall on the plan which we have adopted for other parts of Roman Britain. The archaeological evidence must still provide our basis. But it requires a'different'treatment. We cannot draw up lists of towns and villas and roads, and'describe each in turn, for there are none to describe. Our evidence is limited largely to coins and small Objects found sporadically, and these yield up their secrets only when tabulated with a minuteness of detail which would be needless if other large remains were plentiful. Nor is this all. In other counties our task ends with this survey of actually; known remains. In Cornwall we havefurther to compare our results with literary evidence. Only thus will the picture Of Roman Cornwall at last grow clear before us, and beside it'will emerge some not wholly untrue image of that ancient tin'trade which is so: famous and yet so little known.

Download or read book Bodmin Moor An archaeological survey Volume 2 written by Peter Herring and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bodmin Moor is an upland landscape, heavily protected, farmed extensively and with an increasingly light touch, and enjoyed by many as a retreat from busier modern worlds. But it is also a place of industry and the home of busy agricultural communities. Well-preserved remains of streamworking, mining, quarrying, clay working, turf cutting and more intensive farming were subjected to archaeological survey and historical research as part of the wider-ranging survey partly covered in the first volume (on prehistoric and medieval landscapes). Supplementing the survey text are aerial photographs and detailed line drawings, mainly plans and elevations, but also reconstructions of sites and schematic representations of processes as well as large-scale maps of key areas

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mineralogia Cornubiensis; A Treatise on Minerals, Mines, and Mining: Containing the Theory and Natural History of Strata, Fissures, and Lodes Minerals that are plenty and precious being generally confined to fmall tracts of country and a'barren foil, are therefore remote from that publick obfervation which commerce and agriculture fo defervedly attraet: yet it is a matter of aflonifhment, that an objeet of the firfi national confequence, in point of time, fhould fo long remain, even to the prefent hour, a fecret limited to a few illiterate people.
