BY CHARLES WAREING BARDSLEY, M.A. [Illustration] _SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED_ London: CHATTO AND WINDUS, PICCADILLY. 1875. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TO MY FATHER. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. I accept the early demand for a new edition of my book, not so much as proof of the value of my individual work, as of the increased interest which is being taken in this too much neglected subject. In deference to the wholesome advice of many reviewers, both in the London and Provincial press, especially that of the ‘Times’ and the ‘Athenæum,’ I have re-arranged the whole of the chapters on ‘Patronymics’ and ‘Nicknames,’ subdividing the same under convenient heads. By so doing the names which bear any particular relationship to one another will be found more closely allied than they were under their former more general treatment.
