EXCURSIONS IN THE COUNTY OF CORNWALL
COMPRISING OF A CONCISE HISTORICAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL DELINEATION OF THE PRINCIPAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
W. SIMPKIN AND R. MARSHALL, STATIONER'S COURT, LONDON - 1824

Some Background Information about this book and one of the Illustrators

This work is part of a series of 'Excursions', that were published in the 19th century. They are topographical works that include the majority of interesting subjects/places in the relative county. Each of the books include a breakdown of the various places of interest within the county, and also includes the principal towns and villages as well as descriptions of the residences of Nobility and Gentry and 'every other interesting object of curiosity'. They were intended as a guide for tourists visiting the area and were executed with accuracy and the research was extensive.

Other 'Excursions' pages by POSTAPRINT include: Essex, Suffolk and Sussex

FREDERICK WILTON LITCHFIELD STOCKDALE (fl.1803-1848) was a topographer, and produced many travel works. He was the Military Secretary of the East India Company's assistant until he was compelled to leave due to ill-health.

Stockdale's work can also be found in the following publications: Etchings...of Antiquities in...Kent - 1810; A Concise...Sketch of Hastings, Winchelsea and Rye - 1817; The Cornish Tourist - 1834; The Beauties of England and Wales - 1801-13; Antiquarian Itinerary - 1818 and Ackerman's Repository - 1825-8.
