"A catalogue of the writings of Cornishmen both manuscript and printed and of works relating to the county of Cornwall. With biographical memoranda and copious literary references."

Each entry contains information about the person's publications, career and often details about their family too. Everyone is included even those who have only been published once. Great information source.
