Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Surnames The volume now offered to those who were kind enough to be interested in my Romance of Names is a second offshoot of the Dictionary of English Surnames on which I have been engaged for some years. It differs in several ways from the former booklet. The Romance of Names was an attempt at a general survey of the subject, and, like all such first attempts, it contained a good many inaccuracies and dubious statements' of which I have tried to purge later editions. It made no special attempt to deal with the curiosities of surname etymology, and the temptation to explore by-ways was firmly resisted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from What's in a Name?: Surnames and Their Significance How ridiculous it appears, when one comes to think of it, to call men by such names as Coffee, Bacon, Brawn, Ham, Egg, Butter, Cream, Cheese, Cake, Crumb, Custard, Tart, or Jelly! And yet, were these denied a place among our family names, the owners of them would (and not unjustly) feel inclined to rise up in rebellion. It would possibly require that the human beings so designated should be the invited guests, say, of Mr. Eichman or Mr. Merryman for them thoroughly to realise how absurd are the appellations by which, through no fault of their own, fate has chosen they should be distinguished. There are two consolations that may be offered to the proprietors of such queer unmanly titles. In the first place, you do not stand alone, for curious and ludicrous surnames seem to be the rule rather than the exception.

Download or read book English Surnames written by Mark Antony Lower and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Surnames: Essays on Family Nomenclature, Historical, Etymological and Humorous Scottish names, takes its origin from a holm in the neigh bourhood of Hume Castle in Berwickshire; and it is nu questionably improved by the change in the spelling and pronunciation. So also Plantagenet, which was derived from the word signifying broom in French, so far from depreciating the dignity of the royal race who bore it, seems absolutely to give them an additional grace. Thus, alsor Sac/c, who by himself is a plain man enough, becomes a gentleman with ville tagged to him; equally so is Rat, with cli e. The syllables on and slow, taken separately, are honest decent people; but they seem instinct with Norman blood when put together. Bray is, by itself, one of the most despicable of verbs; brook is nothing parti cular: see, however, What a fine, antique, chivalrous sound the two acquire as the designation of Lord Braybrooke. It seems to be only necessary, in order to produce respec table proper names, that the original words should not be of paltry sound. Nothing can reconcile the ear to Mr. Butter, Miss Bairnsfather, Dr. Peascod, or that immortal firm of English plebeianisms, Messrs. Mugs, Snugs, and Company.

This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Who's Who in Science (International), 1912 In the biographical section it has been our policy to lay stress on mature work rather than on the brilliant, but often ephemeral, successes of youth. In consequence, degrees have been relegated to the details of education, while the Fellowship of the Royal Society or of national academies abroad has been given a prominent place next to the name. A word should be said on language and on indexing. Everything except the names of Journals has been translated into its English equivalent. Although a scientist may know one, two, or even several, foreign languages, it is unreasonable to demand acquaintance with the languages of every country represented here. The reader should bear in mind, therefore, that the publications of scientists in foreign countries are not available in English unless a translation is specifically mentioned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More About Names Would have been much better for the Author's peace of mind if the writing of this work could have been taken out in very small instalments. The throwing together of an abundance of material in strictly alphabetical form, without order or arrangement, after the manner of a dictionary, is a comparatively easy task; but the classification of the same material so that each section shall make a readable chapter by itself renders it necessary for the Author to ring the changes upon the same phraseology throughout, from the start to the finish. If, therefore, some fastidious reader should find fault with the grouping together of several items in one and the same sentence, he would do well to reflect upon the peculiar difficulties under which the Author has had to labour. As well might such a one point to a field thickly studded with stakes, and exclaim to his neighbour, There! I expect you to walk through that gracefully! More than this.
