Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays on Family Nomenclature, Historical, Etymological and Humorous: With Chapters of Rebuses and Canting Arms, the Roll of Battel Abbey, a List of Latinized Surnames, &C. &C I Doubt not that the first impression of many person casually taking up this little volume, and reading the title-page, will be, that a good deal of valuable time has been expended on a very useless subject. Well, it may seem so; but I trust that on further consideration it will be found to posses quite as much both of utility and interest as many others with much greater pretensions to importance. Every person, even the most incurious observer of words and things, must have remarked the great variety that exits in the names of English families. He cannot fail to notice that such names are of widely different significations, many begin identical with names of places, offices, professions, trades, qualities, familiar natural object, &c.
