Book Description
Excerpt from The Place-Names of the Liverpool District, or the History and Meaning of the Local and River Names of South-West Lancashire and of Wirral This little onomasticon embodies, I believe, the first at tempt to treat the etymology of the place-names of the Liverpool district upon a systematic basis. In various local and county histories endeavours have here and there been made to account for the origin of certain place-names, but such endeavours have unfortunately only too frequently been remarkable for anything but philological, and even topographical, accuracy. They are, however, generally chronicled, as a matter of record, in the present mono graph, with such criticism and emendation as may have been thought necessary.
