BRITISH CRITIC,

For SEPTEMBER, 1811.

Ο Πάνες ἐξ ἑνὸς τόμαῖος ὑμνοῦσιν, ὡς καλὸν ἡ μὲν σωφροσύνη τε καὶ δικαιοσύνη, χαλεπὸν μὲν τοι, καὶ ἐπίπονον.”

PLATO.

It is agreed, by the confeffion of all, that moderation and juftice are excellent things, but maintained with care and diffigulty.

ART. 1. Carew's Survey of Cornwall, to which are added Notes illuftrative of its Hiftory and Antiquities, by the late Thomas Tonkin, Efq. And now firft published from the original Manufcripts, by Francis Lord De Dunftanville. Likewife a Journal or Minutes of the Convocation or Parlia ment of Tinners for the Stanneries of Cornwall, held at Trure in the Year 1710. The Grant of the Sheriffalty to Edward, Duke of Cornwall, &c. Quarto. pp. 459. 11. 11s. 6d. Faulder. 1811.

THE noble editor was chiefly led to undertake this publi

cation from having become accidentally poffeffed of Tonkin's MSS. amongft which he found very copious notes, evidently prepared for the prefs, on part of the first book of "the Survey." His Lordship also felected from the MSS. other notes on the remainder of " the Survey of Cornwall."

"The original work," fays his Lordship in the preface, "written in the early part of the reign of James I. is now out of print; a republication of it was, therefore, thought adviseable

by the editor and his friends. He has added thereto Mr. Tonkin's account of the debates and proceedings of the Convocation or Parliament of Tinners in 1710; and alfo fome curious papers relating to Cornwall, with which Mr. Lyfons, keeper of the Records in the Tower, has kindly furnished him. The editor cannot have been induced to this publication by the vanity of If becoming an author, as he has added nothing of his own. the work fhould be thought ufelefs and uninterefting, he may feem to deferre fome cenfure for want of judgment and taste. Cn the other hand, he may be confidered as entitled to fome little merit, if it should appear to others to be fo worthy of attention, as it does to himfelf. Mr. Tonkin died about fixty years ago. He was a gentleman of ancient family and confiderable property, in Cornwall. He was alfo an excellent scholar, and had made great proficiency in the Weish and Cornish languages. CornThe reader wall is in many refpects a very interesting county. of this work will obferve its gradual improvement during a period of one hundred and forty years: and the editor regrets, that he has neither the leifure nor the ability to point out the progrefs which it has made in agriculture and mining in the feventy years which have elapfed fince the notes were written, which are now fubmitted to the public. But he is not without hopes that the prefent publication may turn the thoughts of others to the fubject, who are capable of doing it complete juftice.”

Of "Carew's Survey of Cornwall" we need not fpeak. But of Tonkin's notes we muft observe, that we found them in general very curious and interefting. A fmall part of them, indeed, we had read in Polwhele's Hiftory of Corn-. wall, to affift him in the compilation of which, Lord de Dunftanville, we prefume, had lent Mr. P. thofe MSS. of Tonkin which are now printed as annotations upon Carew, fince Mr. P. frequently refers to the Tonkin-papers repofited at Tchidy.

From the notes in question we shall felect a few for the entertainment of our readers.

In his notes on "the creatures of breathing life," (as Carew quaintly calls them,) Mr. Tonkin is, perhaps, moft amufing.

"In my father's fmall park at Trevaunance," fays Mr. Tonkin, "Sept. 12, 1698, a young doe of the last year brought forth a fawn, very lively and strong. Now, fince all deer go eight months with young, this must have gone to buck at about fix months old; for I cannot think that its dam caft it pregnant." "Dr. Plot fpeaks of two heifers having calf before they were full twelve months old." P. 76. "Mr. Slaad, of Philly, had a fort of sheep, which bred twice a year, and twins every time
