deaconry and Rural Deanery, within the Dioceses of Exeter and of Truro ; and
the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given,
as far as they can be ascertained ; the Post Office Savings Bank and Telegraph
Offices, Annuity and Insurance Offices have been noticed; the names of the
Parish Clerks are given under each Parish ; lists of Farm Bailiffs of Gentlemen
farming their own land have been added.
The County Councils, formed under the " Local Government Act, 1888,"
have been inserted; likewise changes under the provisions of the " Local
Government Act, 1894."
A New Map of each county has been expressly prepared.
A sketch of the Geological features of each County is included, prepared

The Proprietors have to thank those Clergymen and other Gentlemen
who have given the work the benefit of their local knowledge, and also the
Clerks of the Peace who have supplied the lists of Magistrates.
