Not illustrated. 1823 edition. Excerpt: ...would have been required from Lodge Barton to the town of Liskeard. Great advantages would certainly have arisen to Liskeard and the neighbourhood had such a work been formed. Lime and sand for manure, and merchandize goods imported at Looe, would have furnished the boats going up the canal, and the various productions of the country the boats coming down. Much waste land in the parishes of St. Pinnock, St. Neot, and St. Cleer, and neighbouring parishes, would have found the good effects thereof. Though a canal is not practicable, I should however think, if a turnpike was made from Sand-place to the turnpike leading from Lostwithiel to Liskeard, it would be found of considerable advantage, and might be effected at a trifling comparative expence to that of a canal. SEA-BATHING. From the situation of the two Looes, and the conveniency of sea-bathing, one should have imagined that they would be more frequented in Summer than they usually are. It may be thought, perhaps, that proper accommodation cannot be met with; but it may be answered that few wateringplaces at their outset are furnished with better. Tolerably decent lodgings may generally be obtained; and there can be no doubt but accommodations would keep pace with the demand for them. Several new houses have lately been built at Looe. When the bathing-machine was in existence, it could be used many hours in the day. It was let into the water and drawn out by means of a capstan; and, owing to the convenience of the beach, the bather did not enter it till it was in its proper place for bathing, and then walked into it immediately from the beach. POST. The Post comes in from Polperro every morning about ten o'clock; goes on to Liskeard, and returns every evening. The regulation for...

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Thomas Bond
Edit ProfileCareer
Bond was a solicitor, and had extensive legal knowledge. In 1789 he was appointed town clerk of East Looe, and also (a separate office) town clerk of West Looe, the same year that his father was elected Mayor of East Looe. In 1823, while still in office, he published, in the County of Cornwall, with an account of the Natural and Artificial Curiosities and Pictorial Scenery of the Neighbourhood, eight plates and several woodcuts, London, 1823, Octavo, pp.
308.
This work, written as a "labour of love", describes seaside places near Plymouth, which were popular resorts in summer for health and recreation. The views of Looe are by his relative, Mistress Davies Gilbert. He also published in the Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall.
Bond was a great reader, and his knowledge of the law of tenures was extensive.
He died much respected at East Looe 18 December 1837, and, being unmarried, left the greater portion of his property to Davies Gilbert Federal Reserve System, one of his nearest relatives.
He was buried at Street Martin-by-Looe.
