Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

The Rev. H. Fleetwood Sheppard and I next penetrated to the very heart of Dartmoor, and saw Jonas Coaker, an Old blind man, Of 89 years, very infirm, and only able to leave his bed for a few hours in the day.

He is, however, endowed with a remarkable memory. From him, and helped by Mr. Webb, captain Of a tin mine, hard by, who could recall and very sweetly sing the Old melodies, we gleaned several important and interesting songs, with their traditional airs.
