My thanks to Charlotte MacKenzie for this quote from Bernard Deacon:
"Bohstedt, quantifying the numbers of riots in the crisis decades of the 1790s and 1800s, found that the number of riots per 10,000 persons in Cornwall in this period was almost three times higher than in the most riot-prone parts of England - London, Nottinghamshire and Devon (Bohstedt, 1983, 239)."
