Excerpt from A Glossary of Cornish Names, Ancient and Modern, Local, Family, Personal, &C: 20, 000 Celtic and Other Names, Now or Formerly in Use in Cornwall

That the compiler was right in his expectations, the list of authorities, references. Abbreviations, &c., p. 207. Will prove and he desires to express his best thanks, not only to those whose names are there given, but also to the many others who have rendered him assistance, some of whom have desired that their names might not be published, and as a consequence, when he has agreed with their views, he has not distinguished their renderings from his own, except it may be by the omission of a the mark of uncertainty. Among his helpers he can reckon dignitaiies of the church, and members of both houses of parliament; learned professors at the universities, parsons. And methodist preachers, both rounders and local; doctors, and lawyers, and land surveyors officers of the army and navy, and members of the society of friends national schoolmasters, and registrars of births and deaths; mine agents and miners; master mariners and fishermen. The following notice of the Glossary in the Western Daily M ercury. Almost too flattering to be republished by the compiler, shews well how these and others can help. To criticise adequately such a work as this would demand an acquaintance with its subj est-matter as great as Dr. Bannister him self possesses, and to this not even the omniscience of a journalist would pretend. But to make suggestions as to the correct rendering of special words is within the province of any native of the district, and we can hardly recommend Cornishmen with a little leisure a more graceful employment, than thus helping Dr Bannister in his illustration of their county's history. By such help, in some cases, crude guesses at the meaning of the names have been turned into correct renderings.
