413 NATALI SOLOS.

MR. Lhuyd observes, in his Preface to his Cornish Grammar, “That to preserve any old Language in Print is, without all Doubt, a most pleasant and obliging Thing to Scholars and Gentlemen, and altogether necessary in the Studies of Antiquity.”

It was in Hopes of throwing some Lights upon the History of my native Country, that I undertook the Task of inspecting the few Things that remain in the Cornish Language, and forming out of them, as far as my Time and Reading could reach, the little Vocabulary that follows.

I am sensible that it is not so compleat as I could with, the Reason of which may be partly owing to the Authour, and partly to the Subject, and partly to the Materials. If the Authour had no other Points of Antiquity to divide and Share his Attention, he would be more inexcusable that it is not more correct. Had not the Subject been disused among People of Literature for so many Ages, it would have been easier compassed; and if the Materials had been in greater Plenty, there would have been more Choice, and the Work might have been better executed. But the Materials were not only few, but they were much dispersed; and so many as fell into my. Hands might not probably have come to the Share of another, and the Helps for such a Work were still growing fewer by Time and Accident; it being with Languages as with Buildings, when they are in a State of Decay, the Ruins become every Day less distinct, and the sooner the Remains are traced and copied out, the more visible both the Plan and the Superstructure will appear.

The sooner therefore such a Work was undertaken, the greater Likelibood there was that more of the Language might be preserved, than if the Attempt was deferred; and as some who had a Regard for their Country lamented, that it should utterly lose its ancient Language, and those who were curious had a mind to understand something of it, I found the Work was much desired; and I was willing to do something towards restoring the Cornish Language, though I might not be able to do all that fewer Avocations would have permitted.

As incompleat as the following Vocabulary is, I am persuaded, that it will be of some Use. In the present Language of my Countrymen, there are many Words which are neither English, nor derived from the learned Languages, and therefore thought Improprieties by Strangers, and ridiculed as if they had no Meaning; but they are indeed the Remnants of their antient Language, esteemed equal in Purity and Age to any Language in Europe.

The technical Names belonging to the Arts of Mining, Husbandry, Fishing, and Building, are all in Cornish, and much oftener used than the English Terms for the same Things. The Names of Houses and Manors, Promontories, Lakes, Rivers, Mountains, Towns, and Castles in Cornwall (especially in the Western Parts), are all in ancient Cornish, Many Families retain still their Cornish Names. To those, therefore, who are earnest to know the Meaning of what they hear and see every Day, I cannot but think that the present Vocabulary, imperfect as it is (and as all Vocabularies, perhaps, are at first), will be of some Satisfaction.

The Helps I have received, I must acknowledge chiefly owing to the Archaeologia of the late Mr. Edward Lhuyd, above mentioned, Keeper of the Museum at Oxford, who has published a Grammar of the Cornish Tongue (a)

(a) Arch. pag. 225, &c.

and therein preserved the Elements of this Language, which had otherwise wholly perished with him, and his Friend Mr. John Keigwyn, who was, indeed, Mr. Lhuyd’s Tutour in this Point of Learning, and died a few Years after him. In the Comparative Vocabulary, and in other

Parts of the Archaeologia, there is a great Number of Cornish Words; most of which, if not all, I believe, the Reader will find in the following Vocabulary. Ihave also called in the Assistance of the Armorick Vocabulary (published in the same Work); and where I met with no Radix of like Sound in the Cornish, I have there inserted the Armorick Word, putting after it Ar. to note that it has only occurred to me as yet in the Armorick, tho it may in the reading of others either be found in the Cornish MSS, or be of Service to explain Words which are omitted by me at present. Some Radix’s also are taken from the Welsh and Irish, as what may at one time or other explain Parts of the Sister-Dialect, the Cornish. Besides what Mr. Lhuyd has printed, he left several MSS. behind him, and among the rest a Cornish-English Vocabulary, which [in his Arch. pag. 253.] he tells us, he had then by him, “written about six Years before,” that is, in the Year he was in Cornwall, [viz. 1700. ] “and that he had lately improved it with what Additions he could.” I had the favour of perusing all the MSS. relating to Etymology, which could be found in the Library of Sir Thomas Seabright, Bart. where the Literary Remains of Mr. Lhuyd were thought to have been deposited, Among them I met with an imperfect English-Cornish Vocabulary; and in the other scattered Memorandums, I found several Cornish Words I had not seen before, which in the following Work are inserted ; but

the

414 PREFACE TO THE CORNISH VOCABULARY..

the Cornish-English Vocabulary was not among those Papers, and therefore is supposed to be lost, and always to be regretted by the Curious.

Besides Mr. Lhuyd's Works, I have been favoured (b)

(b) By the Rev. Dr. Lyttelton, then Dean of Exeter, now Bishop of Carlisle, whose kind Assistance, in every thing relating to this Work, I can never forget.

with the Perusal of a curious MS. written by the late Mr. Scawen of Melinek in Cornwall; in which, first, there was Part of a Cornish MS. called Mount Calvary, with a verbal English Translation (no small Help to a Beginner) ; and in the latter End, the Excellency of the Cornish Language, and the several reasons of its Decay, are well set forth, together with some Proverbs, Sentences, and other Assistances, for the better understanding, and for the encouraging some one to endeavour to restore it. Mr. Scawen’s MS called the Cornabritanick Antiquities was also communicated (c).

(c) By Francis Gregor, of Trewarthenik, Esq.

I had also the Favour (d)

(d) From the Rev. Mr. Collins, Vicar of St. Erth.

of the MS. of the late Tho. Tonkin, Esq; in which there is a Transcript of the M5S. now in the Bodleian Library, in Cornish and Eng!ish, which were copied under the Direction of the late Mr. Lhuyd, at the instance of Mr. Tonkin, who intended to print them, with some Dialogues, and other Cornish Compositions, contained in the said Manuscript.

I had the Favour (e)

(e) From William Veale of Trevailor, Esq.

of perusing what the late William Gwavas, Esq, (after Mr. Keigwyn, and, Mr. Lhuyd, the most knowing of his Age in the Cornish Tongue) left behind him; and a few MSS. (f)

(f) From the Rev. Mr. Ustick of St. Just.

of the late Mr. Boson, Part of Mr, Hals’s Cornish Vocabulary, and some Translations of several Parts of the Holy Scripture. Lastly, I have inserted the Cornith Vocabulary (g),

(g) For an entire Transcript of which I am obliged to the Rev. Dr. Jer. Milles, then Precentor, now Dean, of the Church of Exeter.

which is in the Cotton Library, London; a MS, as Mr. Lhuyd thought, (h)

(h) Letter to Th. Tonkin, Esq; in 1702-3, pen. W.B.

about seven hundred Years old; so that, I hope, though what follows is not compleat, it may lay a Foundation, and provoke some one of more Leisure to add to it an English-Cornish Vocabulary, and a more exact List of the Words which are to be found in the two last Cornish Manuscripts of the Bodleian Library, which, with the Grammatical and Philological Collections I have made in order thereto (and shall readily communicate to any Person of Learning who will undertake the Task), will recover, and may continue, as much of this dead Language as may be useful to my Countrymen, and satisfactory to all who will not be too Scrupulous and Critical.

I should here have inserted a Contraction of Mr. Edward Lhuyd’s Cornish Grammar, as I at first intended; but as the Number of Sheets, which this Work was to consist of, will be more than compleat without it, and as the whole Grammar is already printed by Mr. Lhuyd, to print it here would needlesslv swell the present Work; and it is hoped that the Addition of several Chapters, and several Copper Plates, more than were at first engaged for, will sufficiently compensate for this Omission. (i)

(i) As Mr. Edward Lhuyd’s Cornish Grammar, published in his Archaeologia, Tit. VI. pag. 222. is scarce, and little Hopes of seeing Etymology so much countenanced as that it shall be soon re-published: It might not, perhaps, be unacceptable to the Studious in Britith History to have that Cornish Grammar re-printed from pag. 222, to pag. 232. viz. down to (aberh an tshei omma), at the bottom of the first Column. From thence there is in Mr. Lhuyd a long Digression not immediately relating to the Cornish Tongue till you come to pag. 240. Col. 2. where the third Chapter begins—from hence to the End, pag. 251. may be published together with the St. Levan man of Tshei an Hor, in modern Cornish, with the English Translation of it from Mr. Tonkin’s Ms. pag. 177.
