 distinguished by their artistic appreciation of our Western 

 scenery. To the Nineteenth Century he furnished an article on 

 " Cornish Characteristics," whilst to our own Journal he was a 

 valued contributor from time to time. Amongst his papers are 

 " Notes on Richard and John Lander," " Notes on Truro 

 Grammar School," " Seal of Thos. Collins," " The Laocoon,"

Mr. Tregellas's poetical ability is well shewn by his fine sea 

 ballad — "The wreck of the British fleet under Sir Cloudesley

Beyond his contributions to the literature of his native 

 county, his writings comprise " China, its history and people," 

 " A History of the Coast Defences of England," " The Royal 

 Horse Guards," and " The Fortifications of Malta ; " whilst

 are being made.
