Dr. Boase observes, the dunstone of Devonshire, so ably described by
the late Rev. J. E. Conybeare, in the 2d vol. of the Transactions of
the Geological Society of London, p. 495, constitutes the rock of this

[19] The whole of Mount Calvary, with a translation by Mr.
John Keigwin, made in the year 1682, has been printed by the
Editor of this work from a manuscript in the Bodleian
Library at Oxford. The passage above cited occurs in the
44th and 45th stanzas. The general meaning appears to be the
same, but the words are differently spelt and divided. The
Editor has also printed “The Creation of the World, with
Noah’s Flood,” a Play, or Mystery, in the Cornish language,
and a Translation into English by the same Mr. John Keigwin;
both from the office of Mr. Nichols, No. 25,
Parliament-street, London, the printer of this work.
