Abstract
MEETING with a recent work on any branch of the antiquities of Cornwall, by an author bearing the name of Borlase, is so much like falling in with the ancient landmarks, after having long failed to detect them, as to be in itself a source of pleasure; and this is enhanced on learning that the author of the work before us is not only a namesake, but a great-grandson of Dr. Borlase, the author of “Observations on the Antiquities, Historical and Monumental, of the County of Cornwall,” published at Oxford in 1753.
Nænia Cornubiæ.
A descriptive essay, illustrative of the Sepulchres and Funereal Customs of the early Inhabitants of Cornwall. By W. Copeland Borlase. (London: Longmans; Truro: Netherton, 1872.)
