Thanks to everyone who as posted thus far.
May particular interest is gauging the effect of the abolition, in 1741, of the duty on sea borne coal. William Lemon was a key advocate of abolition of duty.

As an addition to my original post I should add that I am fairly certain the Barton lifted his information from "Devon & Cornwall Notes & Queries" , Volume XI, January 1920 - October 1921. As this is not referenced either...........

Dear List
Could someone point me in the direction of a source of information on Newcomen engine cylinders cast by the Coalbrookdale Company. I am particulary trying to tie down an unreferenced statement in Barton's "Cornish Beam Engine" (1966 ed. p.19):
"In 1742 alone the Coalbrookdale Company supplied Hornblower with no less than five cylinders which quite possibly were intended for Engines on William Lemon's copper mines in Gwennap".
I am also interested in Hornblower's relationship with Lemon.
many thanks
Rick Stewart
