Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient and Holy Wells of Cornwall A history of the ancient and holy wells of Corn wall had been a favourite idea with Mr. Quiller Couch for many years before his death, and most of his scanty leisure time was spent in visiting them and collecting information on the subject. During his last illness it was understood that a rough sketch of the preface was being written; whether this was the case or not, nothing but the few fol lowing notes on loose scraps of paper has ever been found. It has been thought best to give them as they are, without any attempt to work them into complete form. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cornwall Cornwall never thoroughly submitted to either the Roman or the Saxon yoke. It was and still remains emphatically Celtic; in fact, Professor Huxley proclaimed it to be more Celtic than Ire land. Nevertheless, the evidence of the inscribed monumental stones sanctions the belief that there were here and there in Western Wales isolated Christians or Christian families in the days of the Roman occupation. But Cornwall knew little of the Faith until the latter half of the sth cent. And the dawn of the 6th cent., when the invasion Of the saints, as it may not irreverently be termed, took place. British Christianity doubtless, as a whole, took root from Gaul; yet the missionaries who landed in considerable numbers on the Cor nish coasts came chiefly from Ireland and Wales, rather than directly from the Continent. The story of the saints Of Cornwall and the wonderful way in which they impressed their names on the local nomenclature, as well as on the Churches themselves, is one of great interest and of no small difficulty. It would be idle, in this brief book on the old parish churches, to enter even upon the threshold of such a subject;1 suffice it to say, that in no other part of the British Isles are there near so many actual remains of ancient crosses, chapels, holy wells, and sanctuaries or oratories, all testify ing to holy and devoted lives, as is the case with Cornwall. There is not a single parish in which such remains cannot be found, in greater or less degree. It may, however, be succinctly added that Corn wall Can boast not only of possessing a far larger number Of inscribed monumental stones than any other county, but that it also contains a far greater number and variety of early crosses. The in scribed stones, from the 5th or 6th centuries down to the loth or 11th centuries, number 43. The erect early crosses of great variety of design are upwards of 350 in number. There are also four coped stones in the respective churchyards of St. Buryan, Lanivet, Phillack, and St. Tudy; and five early cross slabs in the churchyards of Lanivet.

Book excerpt: Through compelling personal stories and in rich detail, McClain reveals the give-and-take interaction between the institutional church in Rome and the needs of believers and the hands-on clergy who provided their pastoral care within England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England: Including Rivers, Lakes, Fountains and Springs The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition Of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well - worship in its broadest sense, a worship simple and. More dignified than a senseless crouching before idols. An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained. That sins of omission and of commission may herein be found it is not denied, but they are, it is hoped, few and far between. No attempt has been made at scientific classification or arrange ment other than the placing of the wells under their respective counties, ' Until those of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland have been collected, such a course would seem premature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Cathedral of Cornwall Historically Surveyed, Vol. 1 of 2 By this kind of moonlight I mean to direct my course in making my survey of the ancient cathedral of Cornwall. Yet I hope to collect the beams so carefully into one focus, as to find them combining into some degree of lustre, and lighting me with truth along the winding path to my point. In that hope, therefore, I set out; expecting, however, not to find my point within the petty circle of any one parish, or even the ample orbit of a whole county, but to trace it steadily across the island, and to pursue it occasionally into the continent.
