520 _a"The Parochial History of Cornwall, Volume 2 (of 4)" by Davies Gilbert et al. is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume delves into the local history, geography, and notable families of Cornwall, focusing particularly on the parish of Falmouth and its significance as a harbor. It serves as a detailed exploration of the region's historical context, its development, and its prominent figures. The opening of this volume details Falmouth's geographical position, emphasizing the safety and grandeur of its harbor, which is noted as one of Britain's best for maritime activities. The text provides historical insights into the development of the town, tracing its origins from a small creek known as Smithick to its emergence as a bustling port due to the initiatives of Sir Peter Killigrew. Additionally, it mentions several important families, including the Killigrews, as well as various nautical engagements that highlight the region’s maritime heritage and commerce. This historical narrative sets the stage for a deeper understanding of Cornwall's rich past, underpinned by anecdotes and descriptions of its notable landmarks, families, and notable events.
