On the death of "Mr. John Keigwin, of Mousehole, of the 

 lower house ; without any comparison the most skillfull judge of 

 our age in the Cornish Language," (Lhuyd's Preface to his Cornish 

 Grammar). "Mr. Keigwin dyed before February 11, 1711, as by 

 the date of Mr. Gwavas' letter, in which the second epitaph is 

 found." 



Mr. John Boson was the author of an old Romance in Cornish, 

 entitled "The Duchess of Cornwall's Progress to the Land's End"; 

 part of which is contained in Dr. Borlase's MS. He was a native 

 of Newlyn, at which place the Cornish Language seems to have 

 been cultivated to a greater extent, and at a later period, than in 

 any other town in Cornwall.
