Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Giving Names to Towns and Streets To Give a true name to a town or a street is not so easy a matter as it may seem. Mistakes are frequently made, because it is thought a thing of little consequence. I shall suggest, in this paper, the importance of care in selecting the proper designation, not only for a city or village, but even for a street. I shall also contend that such designations should not be selected merely as pretty sounds, but as memorials of the past. Ought we not to regard these names as historic monuments, and choose such as will commemorate the events and persons belonging to the history of the place. This appears to be a matter of no small importance for a country like this. In a nation which grows with such unprecedented rapidity as ours, there is frequent need of giving names to new states, towns, streets, and public buildings. Thus far, these appellations have been bestowed almost by accident. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
