Excerpt from Henry De Pomefrey, or the Eve of St. John, Vol. 1 of 3: A Legend of Cornwall and Devon
But I will no longer detain my reader respecting the disputed etymology of one of the most lovely portions of our county; suffice it to say, that my wish to visit these far-famed valleys was, at length, kindly indulged by my partner, not only through this journey, but that of life also; and, in the summer of 1838, we commenced that memorable expedition, replete with consequences of so much import to ourselves, and, I trust, to you, my gentle reader, in your progress through the work, more especially should you find in it wherewithal to amuse an idle hour, or to afford you any useful information.
