THE ECCLESIASTICAL SEALS OF CORNWALL. 73 



ADDENDA. 



The forogoing account is intended to serve as a clue towards 

 tracing, — in connection with this western region, — such Seals, 

 or notices of them, as reflect the history of the Universal Church 

 and the Cornish branch of it. 



The following notes will help to illustrate what has been 

 written : —
