For a Cornish-English Vocabulary, I had thrown together the Dictionaries of
BORLASE and PRYCE, not omitting a single word; to which I had added a large
collection of words from WHITAKER’S invaluable papers. But the Vocabulary
must remain in MS. till curiosity shall call it into notice.* For the present
The greater part of Dr. Borlase's preface to his Cornish Dictionary,
is as follows; "Mr. Lhuyd observes, in his preface to his Cornish
Grammar, ‘that to preserve any old language in print, is, without 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, this little
vocabulary. I am sensible that it is not so compleat as I could wish, the
reason of which, may be partly owing to the author, and partly to the
subject; and partly to to the want of materials. If the author 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 disus'd
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

I have made such a selection of words as I think may amuse the reader; in
which I had chiefly a view to the
into any bands might not probably have come to
the share of another, and the helps !or 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 super-,tructure will appear. The sooner therefore such a work was
undertaken, the greater likelihood 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 mit.d to un,lerstand something of it, I
found the work was much desired, and I was willirg to do something towards
restoring the Cornish language, though I might not be able to do all that
fewer avocations would have permitted. As inet tnpleat as the 11 cabulary is,
I am persuaded that it will be of some use. In the present language of my
country ITIC11, 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 rem-nants of
their ancient 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, ale all in Cornish, and much oftener used than the
English terms for the sante things. The names of houses, manors,
promontories, lakes, rivers, moun-tains, towns, and castles, in Cornwall,
(especially in the western parts) are all in the ancient Cornish. Many
families retain still their • Cornish names. To those therefore, that arc
earnest to know the meaning of what they hear and see every clay, I cannot
but think that the vocabulary, imperfect as it is, will be of some
satis-faction. The helps I have received, I must acknowledge chiefly owing to
the arcbaeologia of the late Mr. Edward Lhuyd; keeper of the museum at
Oxford, who has published a Grammar of the Cornish Tongue, 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 tutor
in this point of learning, and died a few years after him. In the comparative
vocabulary, and in other parts of the archaeology there are a great number of
Cornish words; most of which, the reader

ordinary life.
will find here. I have 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 Armorickword. Some
radixa also arc taken from the Welch, and Irish, as what may at one time or
other explain parts of their 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. p. 253.) he tells us, he had
then by him, r written about 6 years before,' that is, in the year he was in
Cornwall, [viz. 1700.) ' and that he has 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 memoran-dums, I found several Cornish words I had not seen
before, which in this work are inserted; but the Cornish-English vocabulary
was not among those papers, and therefore is supposed to be lost, and always
will be regretted by the curious. Besides Mr. Lhuyd's works, I have been favoured(a)
with the perusal of a curious MS. writ-ten by the late Mr. Scawen of Molinek,
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,
sen-tences, and other assistances, for the better understanding, and for the
encouraging some one to endeavour to restore it. Mr. Scawen's MS. called the
Cornubritanick Antiquities, was also communicated.(b) I had also the
favour(c) of the MS. of the B

thing relating to this work, I can never forget. (6) By Francis Gregor, of

The places whose names are, for the most part, of Saxon origin, are to be
found, if not in the vicinity of our bounding river, at least within the
limits of ancient Cornwall. In many of these words, we have a curious
monument of the battle between the Cornish and the Saxon languages on the
banks of
Late Thomas Tonkin, Esq.; in which there is a transcript of the MSS. now in
the Bodlcan Library, in Cornish and English, 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(d) 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.(e) 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 Cornish
vocabulary(f), which is in the Cotton Library,;London; a MS. as Mr. Lhuyd
thought,(g) 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 arc to be found in the two last Cornish manuscripts
of the Bodlean 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 usciul to my countrymen, and
satisfactory to all who will not be too scru-pulous and critical." (d)

VII the Tamar. For this little
collection, I am chiefly indebted to the MSS. of Milles and Whitaker.
With respect to the Provincial Glossary, it consists of words, which are at
this time current in Cornwall and Devon, and are almost confined to the
vulgar; though often of no mean origin. The greater part of them, I have,
from time to time, set down in writing almost immediately as I heard them
uttered: for the rest I am obliged to the MSS. of bishop Lyttelton and Dean
Milles, to my ingenious friend, Mr. James, of St. Keverne, and to " A
Dialogue in the Devonshire Dialect between Robin and Betty, in three
parts," by a Lady of the North of Devon; a MS. in which rustic
characters and manners are delineated with much sim-plicity and humour..

Cornish." See " Historical Views," p. 203, for the
authorities. The Acor of the Tartars, is called Kovsuss, or the Mixture. It
is a weak spirituous liquor, produced from mare's milk, by the simple process
of combining again the oily parts which were first separated by churning. The
continuance of the operation is sufficient for the reunion. See the
"Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh," 1788.

• Kinance Cove, situated about two miles N. W. of the Lizard-point, is one of
the curiosities of Cornwall. The descent to the cove is steep, and over-hung
by large craggs. The cove itself is formed by rocks of an immense height,
partly projecting into the sea, and in one place so singularly disposed as to
open a fine -natural arch into a sort of grotto. The rocks are composed of
serpentine,. varying in colour internally, but on the outside of a (lark
green, having veins of lighter green, white and scarlet. There is a
greasiness in the touch of the surface. The scales are rather flexible, and
somewhat transparent. Here asbestos appears in small portions; and veins of
steatite may be traced in numerous directions. Native copper, in a
thread-like form, may be found also, in the fissures of serpentine.

LAP LAW, a church; so in the Welch and
Bretoon. In Welch, also, Lhan signifies a yard, or small inclosure; thus we
find a vineyard called Gwin Lhan; an orchard, Per Lhan; a hay yard, Yn Lhan.
That the Cornish .Lan signified an inclosure of any extent, we have several
proofs, as, Lambourne in Piran-Sabulo, anciently written Lam-bron, the
inclosure of the round hill; Lanyon in Maddern, the fuzzy inclosure; Landew
in Lezant, the black inclosure; Lanleake in St. Petherwyn. LANERCII4
alforest, a lawn, a bare place in a wood. See Lhuyd's Arch. p 237, Probably

is a court, hall.*
* We often meet with this word in the names of our places. Thus Lesnewth
signifies, the new court. And thus, in Leskeard, les, lie, or lhys is palace
or court, or court of judicature; caer is cast ruin, castle; and ydd, edd,
and ed plural terminations, and ceirydd is itself the plural of caer,
answering exactly to the Latin of ware, implying a fortified place of some
dignity and importance; as by its situation in the most populous and
extensive part of Cornubia this may seem to have been. So I take
Lhiscairydd,- or Lhyscaered, by abbreviation, Liscaerd, to import the story of
this place, shewing what it once was, in better times, and under better
auspices, the Princely Court and Castle; for here certainly the Dukes of
Cornwall had both.. Its more anoient name, Sebaste may probably shew us the
very orign of a town here. For here was the Altera Legio of Augustus, whose
name in Greek is Sebastos, from whose Greek name certain towns in Asia were
also named- Sebaste, and who was fond of the Greek language, and perhaps in
this manner affected to transmit it into Britain, though he never came
himself hither, .

Francis Gregor, Esq. of Trewarthenic, late member for the County of Cornwall.
Of these gentlemen and of the Menachanite, I shall have occasion to ay much
hereafter; if my very large collections for ‘ the Literature of Cornwall,”
and
for ‘the Geology and Mineralogy” should ever be published. For the present,
my readers may not be displeased with the following account of “the
Menachanite.”
The “ MenacHanitTe.”(a)
Oxide of titanium combined with iron.
This substance has been found abundantly in the vale of Menachan; and
hence was called Menachanite by Mr. William Gregor, whom I have mentioned
as the discoverer of it. It is in small grains like gunpowder, of no
determinate
shape, and mixed with a fine erey sand. Colour, black. Easily pulverised.
Powder attracted by the magnet. Specific gravity 4. 427. Does not detonate
with nitre. With ewo parts of fixed alkali, it melts into an olive-coloured
mass,
from which nitric acid precipitates a white powder. The mineral acids only
extract froin it a little iron. Diluted sulphuric acid, mixed with the
powder,
in such proportion that the mass is net too liquid, and then evaporated to
dryness,
produces a blue coloured mass, Before the blow-pipe does not decrepitate nor
melt. It tinges microcosmic salt green; but the coluur becomes brown on
cooling: yet microcosmic salt does not dissolve it. Soluble in borax, and
alters
its colour in the sine manner,
Acrording to the analysis of Mr, William Gregor, it is composed of
AG Oxide of iron,
45 Oxide of titanium.
91 with some silica and manganese.(/):
According to Mr. Klaproth's analysis it is composed of
51,00 Oxide of iron,
45,25 Oxide of titanium,
3,50 Silica,
25 Oxide of manganese.
