Excerpt from Rambles in Western Cornwall by the Footsteps of the Giants: With Notes on the Celtic Remains of the Land's End District and the Islands of Scilly I had never opened that singular and valuable folio volume, - Borlase's Antiquities of Cornwall, first published in 1754, and again, with a few additons, in 1769, - without feeling a curiosity and desire to examine the original monuments therein described, and to pay a visit to a land which the uncornish reader of that work pictures to himself as literally strewn with solemn cromlechs and hoary circles, all popularly known as memorials of the giants of old.
