THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 203 



archseology should know of, if they do not — I mean the Western 

 Antiquary, published monthly, and edited by Mr. W. H. K.Wright, 

 the able and zealous librarian of the Plymouth Free Library ; it 

 is often full of interesting correspondence. But perhaps one of 

 the most interesting books published in the year is that which 

 contains the journals and letters of Miss Caroline Fox, who, in 

 her sketches of many celebrities with whom she came in contact, 

 fully illustrated the originality and vigour of mind which is 

 characteristic of her family. 



To the last number of your Journal, your Secretary Mr. H. M. 

 AVhitley has contributed a paper upon the Church Goods of Corn- 

 wall, giving most interesting details carefully extracted from the 

 inventories of Hemy VIII and Edw. VI, found in the Public 

 Eecord Office ; and Mr. Peach's elaborate list of Cornish Zoo- 

 phytes, has added an immense number and variety to the catalogue 

 compiled by the late Mr. E. Q. Couch. 



Two papers by Mr. Spence Bate and Mr. Hare, referring to 

 the Pre-historic interments recently found at TrethiH in Sheviock,

 accompanied as they are by careful illustrations, but because they 

 record two of the most interesting relics of antiquity which have 

 been brought to light in Cornwall for some years. The happy 

 discovery of the old churchyard cross is a subject of especial 

 satisfaction. The head buried, perhaps for safety, — the shaft in 

 two pieces forming gateposts in an adjoining field — it now stands 

 once more in. its old place, the loftiest and one of the most beauti- 

 ful of its kind in Cornwall. 



I am happy to be able to report that another interesting relic 

 of early Christianity has been latterly restored to notice. It is a 

 small baptising or holy well, like many which are scattered through 

 Cornwall, but of earlier date than most. It stands within my 

 own Park, and with shame I must confess that the little ruin had 

 altogether escaped my observation until pointed out to me by a 

 friend. Enough remains fully to justify the restoration of the 

 building, which has been undertaken by Mr. James Hine. 



"We know it to have been called St. Julian's Well — as the 

 stream which passes through it into a trough immediately below 

 it on the high road has always gone by that name. Who St.
