_Longevity_ (Vols. vii., viii., _passim_).--
"Amongst the fresh antiquities of Cornwall, let not the old woman be
forgotten who died about two years since; who was one hundred and
sixty-four years old, of good memory, and healthful at that age; living
in the parish of Gwithian by the charity of such as came purposely to
see her, speaking to them (in default of English) by an interpreter,
yet partly understanding it. She married a second husband after she was
eighty, {232} and buried him after he was eighty years of
age."--Scawens' _Dissertation on the Cornish Tongue_, written temp.
