Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Place Names of Lancashire: Their Origin and History
This book has taken nearly four years to bring to its present form. During this period I have been prevented by the somewhat exacting duties of teaching a large body of stu dents, as well as by the claims of other literary work, from working continuously at the various problems connected with a study of place names, excepting during vacations. But for these causes this work might have been ready for the press perhaps two years ago. On the other hand so large a subject as the Place Names of Lancashire might easily occupy the constant attention of a student for twenty years, so numerous, varied, and difficult are the problems which such an inquiry raises.
