From an examination of evidence to be found in Cornwall, and also from early 

 writers, the author reaches the conclusion that the " probable antiquity of the Bronze 

 Age in Britain is from three to four thousand years, and the consequent production 

 of tin in Devon and Cornwall must be as old." 



A number of old documents dealing with the laws and customs of the Stannaries in 

 Devon are reprinted.
