CORNWALL’S CELTIC PAST
At the opening of the annual Ceaic Congress at Truro recently, the presideiu said that as other parts of Great Britain recognised their own nationality as being separate from the English, so did Cornish people. Among them, the Celtic language was spoken throughout Cornwall, and only ceased to be their mother tongoe less than 150 years ago. The congress of 1901 refused to recognise Cornwall as a Celtic area, but opinions changed, and in 1904 the natives of the county were solemnly recognised by the Pan-Celtie Congress as a Celtic people. That the Cornish was a Celtic nation was now admitted by. everyone who knew anything about their history. As a people the Cornish were loyal to the Stuarts, and refused, said the president, to give up their loyalty at England’s biding.
