ENGLISH PLACE NAMES by Kenneth Cameron
Since this work on English place-names was first published in 1961, a great deal of research has been undertaken, and material has been published which is of importance to the interpretation of individual names and the understanding of the significance of groups of place-names. This revised and updated edition explains the technique of place-name study, examines the types of place-name formation, both ancient and modern, and includes a new chapter on modern place-names. It covers names of Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and French origin, those with Christian and pagan signifance, those illustrating social and legal customs, and other associations.
Cameron, Kenneth: - Kenneth Cameron was born in 1931 in Rochester, NY. He is the author of seven novels featuring Denton, a compulsively romantic American with a dark past and a knack for solving other people's problems, though not necessarily his own. Cameron has written more than 30 books, some under the name George Bartram and some--with his son, Christian Cameron--under the name Gordon Kent. He lives most of the time in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State.
