Summary "A Book of the West, Volume 1: Devon" by S. Baring-Gould is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book serves as an introduction to the counties of Devon and Cornwall, aiming to provide visitors with insights into noteworthy places, events, and local culture, rather than serving as a traditional guidebook. It delves into the ethnology of the people, key historical events, and various cultural characteristics specific to the region. The opening of the text presents a detailed examination of the ethnology of the Western folk, discussing the origins of the populations in Devon. Baring-Gould elaborates on the ancestral tribes, including the Ivernian and Dumnonii races, detailing the historical interactions and invasions that shaped the region. The author also highlights the unique characteristics of the Devonshire dialect and folklore, offering observations on the social customs, such as the local’s value of courtesies, attitudes towards foreigners, and the cultural significance of folk music. Overall, the introductory portion sets the tone for a broader exploration of the rich heritage and identity of Devon. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
