Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Cornwall Parish Registers, Vol. 15: Marriages It will be noticed that all the parishes of the modern Deaneries of Bodmin and Trigg Minor have been dealt with and that only one parish is needed to complete that of Penwith. Much remains to be done, and there are two ways in which subscribers can help forward our work which, in the interests of genealogical research, public utility, and for the better preservation of the contents of the Registers has been steadily pursued for more than eight years, viz.: - by securing for it a larger measure of financial support and by recommending to us those who have had experience in the transcription of documents which go back to the middle of the sixteenth century.

Excerpt from Cornwall Parish Registers, Vol. 8: Marriages At the same time, they feel confident that subscribers to the Parish Register Series will have no cause to regret their adhesion to the present scheme. The reader will, of course, remember that these printed abstracts of marriage registers are not "evidence" in the technical sense. Certified extracts must still be obtained when evidence of a Marriage is required for proving a pedigree in a court of law, or when registering it at Heralds' College. For such certificates application must be made to the clergy in charge of the original registers. The reader is indebted to Mr. W. H. L. Shadwell, F.S.A., for his courtesy in allowing the collation of the parochial entries with the transcripts in his custody, and to the clergy who have permitted the registers to be printed, Their names are mentioned under the various parishes. It only remains to say that the editors will gladly welcome further help in the work of transcribing registers for future volumes. They hope to send Volume IX to press at an early date.

Excerpt from Cornwall Parish Registers, Vol. 17: Marriages The present volume deals with six parishes on or near the eastern border of the county, and exhausts all the available material in that direction. There is, however, reason to believe that by the time the returns of western parishes, which are in various stages of preparation, have been issued, a fresh supply will be forthcoming from that quarter. In the preface to the last volume attention was called to the valuable work of Mr. G. Jasper Nicholls in making an index to the Exeter Transcripts. To Mr. Nicholls we are indebted for those portions of the prefatory notes of the several parishes in this volume which deal with those Transcripts.
