Weird. Google says that this book is the 1620 Visitation of Cornwall,
but it is actually the parish register of Saint James, Clerkenwell.

There are great gems coming on line, but the whole system is buggy and
weird. Google needs to find some way to have better cross-referenced
book-level citations, including better identification (or any
identification at all) of serial volumes.

Yep, I've noticed a few problems here and there (one was a book on
genealogy identified as a primer on modern business practice) ...

And these citations become all the more frustrating for those of us on
the wrong side of the pond who can't view the text (allegedly for
copyright reasons) and find the citation, especially of serials,
useless. But please keep up the good work.
