Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nothing but Names, an Inquiry Into the Origin of the Names of the Counties and Townships of Ontario Quote from my work as much as e´er you please; For extracts, lo! I´ll put no angry face on; Nor fill a hungry lawyer´s fist with fees, To squeeze John Murray like the furious Mason. - Peter Pindar. Should any reader of this book feel disposed to demand his money back, his outraged feelings may be mollified by the assurance that the book was not written with malice aforethought; like Mrs. Stowe´s Topsy, it never was born - it grew. A casual conversation with a gentleman, whose name had been given to a new township in northern Ontario, suggested "Township Names" as the topic for an address at a church entertainment, and the lecture notes have continued to expand until they reached their present dimensions. The ground covered is that part of Ontario south of Lake Nipissing. In the northern part of Nipissing district and in Algoma there are many outlined, but as yet unnamed, townships, to which names will be given as the surveyors go on with their work. The publication of a volume relating to the names of the northern and north-western townships can be very properly postponed until the surveys are completed, but the field covered by this volume was neglected too long, hence the present difficulty of making the record complete. With the best will in the world to give credit to whom credit is due, the author cannot undertake to enumerate the hundreds of books consulted, nor to name the scores of correspondents from whom he obtained information. Some of them are referred to in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
