Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"

Wherefore, I, as one of the common beholden, present this
token of my priuate gratitude. It is dutie, and not pre-
sumption, that hath drawne me to the
offering; and it must be fauour,and
not desert, that shall moue your
Lordship to the acceptance: and
so I take humble leaue, rest-
ing no lesse willing to
serue you, then
vnder you.
Your Lordships poore kinsman,
Richard Carew of
Antonie.



To the Reader.
When I first composed this Treatise, not minding that it should be
published in Print, I caused onely certaine written copies to bee
giuen to some of my friends, and put Prosopopeia into the bookes
mouth. But since that time, master Camdens often-mencioning this
worke, and my friends perswasions, haue caused my determination to
alter, & to imbrace a pleasing hope, that charitie, & good
construction resteth now generally in all Readers.
