Busts at Trelissick and Tehidy, in marble. 

 I would suggest that a similar list of portraits of Sir 

 Humphry Davy and of Sir Edward Pellew, Lord Exmouth, — 

 our first president, would be of interest. I mention these two 

 names as those of persons well known ; but a correct account of 

 any engraving, painting, or bust of any Cornishman, furnished 

 to our Curator, might be filed in our library and be accessible 

 for future reference at any time. 



Another work which would be of great value, would be a list 

 of views of our castles, churches, crosses, and other antiquities. 

 A list of views of Truro Church would amount to a greater 

 number than any one would think, till he tries to form one. 



Country houses, again, would be of interest, especially if 

 dated ; take Trelissick for instance. In C. S. Gilbert's history it is 

 shown before the portico was added ; his book was published 

 in 1817-20. In " Cornwall Illustrated," published in 1831, it is 

 shown with the portico, and in some future work may appear 

 with further extensions as it now stands. 



I fear that a list of views of St. Michael's Mount would itself 

 fill a book, as they are innumerable. Several large collections 

 exist to my knowledge. 



I also give the beginning of a list of rare or unfamiliar trees, 

 and trust I may receive accounts of many more. 



Trees of Praxintjs, (entire-leaf Ash.) 

 At Enys, Grove Hill, Trelowarren, St. Columb Major, in front 

 of Perran Foundry on the public road, Carclew, two at Penrose.
