Excerpt from Our Little Town: And Other Cornish Tales and FanciesPhysically and politically, all Porthjulyan is divided into two parts - the Town proper, and Gov'ment. Taking the letter U for the ground work of our survey, I would ask you to impart a slight outward slant to the two uprights, and to consider them as two steep roads running inland up two narrow valleys. Where the basal curve begins, there begins Porthjulyan on either side, the town to the left, Gov'ment to the right. A low cliff or spur of the hills divides the two parts, so that each is invisible to the other; but follow the road as it humps itself over this cliff, and from the midmost point you can obtain a compre hensive view of the whole place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
