As for
Glasse and Plaister for priuate mens houses, they are of late yeeres
introduction.
The poore Cotager contenteth himselfe with Cob for his wals, and
Thatch for his couering: as for Brick and Lath walles, they can
hardly brooke the Cornish weather: and the vse thereof being put in
triall by some, was found so vnprofitable, as it is not continued
by any.
It resteth, that after the Cornish Inhabitants reall priuate estate,
I speake of their entercourse and traffike, and so step forth to
their personal.
This entercourse is obtayned by high wayes and Bridges: for highwayes,
the Romanes did not extend theirs so farre: but those layd out of
later times, are in the Easterne part of Cornwall, vneasy, by reason
either of their mire or stones, besides many vp-hils and downe-hils.
[54] The Westerne are better trauaileable, as lesse subiect to these
discommodities: generally, the statute 18. Eliz. for their amendement,
is reasonably wel executed.
Bridges, the riuer Tamer hath Polston, Gresham, Horse, and New Bridge.
