Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Local Etymology, or Names of Places in the British Isles, and in Other Parts of the World: Explained Illustrated With Notices of Surnames and Obsolete Words The prevailing taste for matters of antiquity in the present day is, perhaps, the principal reason for the author´s taking up this subject. The fragmental evidence of past times which the names of places afford, is the first step in the inquiry; and since, in all probability, as much is now known of the ancient languages of Europe as ever will be known, the subject can never be in a better state for investition. But etymological speculation has ever been accounted vague and unsatisfactory, and so in some degree it is; nevertheless there are certain general principles belonging to it, which are as capable of being conducted to rational conclusions as those of any other subject.
