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.
