The Isolation of St. Michael's Mount

Abstract

MR. PENGELLY, in a letter addressed to you, and printed in your journal of Jan. 12, 1871, complains of my having ascribed to him a belief in the extreme antiquity of the Cornish language which he does not hold now, and which he did not hold at the time when he delivered his first lecture “On the Isolation of St. Michael's Mount,” at the meeting of the British Association at Birmingham in 1865. He declines to be responsible for any notices or report of his lecture that I may have seen in some newspaper or journal.
