Note 158 — Chapter XIII · Watt in Cornwall—Introduction of his Pumping-engines.
Reading edition
A mine so-called. Many of the Cornish mines have very odd names. “Cook’s Kitchen,” near Camborne, is one of the oldest and richest. Another is called “Cupboard.” There are also Wheal Fannys and Wheal Abrahams; and Wheal Fortunes and Wheal Virgins in great numbers.
