""Very occasionally a new book appears which at a stroke alters the landscape of Cornish history. This is one of those moments... a distinguished work which should sit on the shelves of all those interested in Cornwall's 'great emigration'. It will also be warmly welcomed as an important comparative study by all students of emigration from the British Isles and Europe in the 19th century."" Philip Payton, Emeritus Professor of Cornish & Australian Studies, University of Exeter and Professor of History, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia.
