Bulmer & Co for G. Nicol, London, 1797.Philip Rashleigh (1729-1811) of Menabilly was a renowned collector of mineral specimens, particularly of tin, much of which is on display at the Royal Cornwall Museum with portions at the Natural History Museum. By 1794 he had acquired over 4,000 mineral specimens and started to look for "a good clever man to draw and colour some of my minerals,".
