Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Place-Names in Their Historical Setting As to the Belgae being the first Brythonic invaders Of Britain, it is clearly against the statement of Caesar, and other wise not credible. A tribe called Scots belonging to the Goidels are known to have passed from Ireland into Alban (scotland) in the fourth century of our era, the latter country being then Occupied by Bry thons and Picts.' In the fifth and sixth centuries a.o. A southern Brythonic people, under pressure from invading Teutonic tribes, passed over to Armorica in Gaul, in which Gallic speech had then died out, and gave their name to the country - Brittany. The influence of each of these Celtic peoples is still to be traced in our place-names. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Place-names are important to the historian and the archaeologist. Quite apart from the inherent interest of the original meaning of a place-name, the fact that in England there are six successive layers of language reflected in the stock of place-names means that they provide vital evidence for dating and, indeed, for estimating the mixture of races in the composition of the nation. The author, as President of the English Place-Name Society, has succeeded in bringing the story of English place-names to a wider public in this fascinating general study. The response to the first edition demonstrated the book's appeal to the reader with an interest in the evolution, meaning and significance of the names of our towns, villages, rivers and hills. The Listener said that the book 'opens up the whole subject in the most enthralling manner', while Comment observed '...a classic in this field, essential reading for anyone interested in local history'. This new edition emphasises the contribution that this philological discipline can make to the work of the archaeologist and the historian and to our understanding of the long process of human settlement in our island. The sub-title of the book is 'Place-Names and the History of England'...Dr Gelling and her colleagues have made great strides in exploiting the latent store of information about the past preserved in the names of places.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homes of Family Names in Great Britain It should, however, be remembered that this is but one of other tests of nationality, such as those of race and language, concerning which it is hard to say which is the most important, or again which is the most likely to lead us astray. It seems to me, after carefully considering the subject, that the application of the test of family names is the safest way to determine the extension of any particular nationality. It will often guide us where the tests of language and race-characters fail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
