The title of the book exactly describes its scope, and the author his preface tells us that these memories have "scarcely any basis journal or record." Wiltshire cannot claim Dr, Beddoe as a native, b only as a resident, for he was born on Sept. 21st, 1826, at Bewdley, a he came of Shropshire descent. He tells us anecdotes of his childhoo of his early education, of his intention to become a barrister, and of t "accident" that turned his thoughts to medicine instead. Then passes on to his life in the medical schools of London and Edinburg of the holidays that he spent, always in places worth seeing, and of t multitude of friends and acquaintances that he made, all of whom remembers, and many of whom afterwards made names for themselv in the world. It was during an excursion to the Orkneys in 1852 that he "seriously began the quest into hair and eye colour which was be my principal hobby through most of my after life." Henceforwa whether he is tramping through Holland, or Germany, or Ireland, exploring unfrequented parts of Asia Minor, it is not the remains ancient civilisations that are the real object of his journeys, so mu as the colour of the eyes and hair and the shape of the skulls of t people he meets with in the markets and the inns. He fraternises wi

everybody and makes a mental note of their ethnological affinities whilst he does so. The greater the variety in the nationality of his friends the better he is pleased. He goes on a tour in Italy with two Swedes, a Finlander, and a Eurasian. Whilst studying in the medical schools at Vienna he tells us that he was personally acquainted with "men who belonged to at least sixteen different European nations, not including Germans of various districts, besides Americans and Asiatics." His friends throughout life have been many of them distinguished Anthropologists like himself, and the interest of the present volume largely consists in anecdotes bearing directly or indirectly on this favourite life-study of the author's.

Notes on Wiltshire Names. By John C. Longstaff. Vol. I. Place Names. Bradford-on-Avon. Wm. Dotesio, The Library Press, 1911.

"These notes on Wiltshire Names," says the author in the preface, "set forth no new discoveries, they merely bring together in one volume information which hitherto has had to be sought in the works of a dozen different writers. Hence the volume is little more than a compilation, not written for scholars, who, it may be assumed, already possess the information contained herein This book, then,

[ocr errors]

has been prepared for the ordinary reader-the man in the street, the youth of studious disposition, the senior schoolboy-who may desire to know the origin and meaning of his own name and of the names of his fellows, as well as the history of the town and village names that meet his eye as he looks at the map of Wilts." "They are now issued with much diffidence, in the hope that the reader, while not perhaps agreeing with all the conclusions arrived at, will find the subject as interesting and instructive as it has proved to the writer.”

The author disarms criticism by this very modest pronouncement of the purpose of the book, but he has no need to do so. His work can very well stand on its own bottom. It is true that many of the deriv ations given are probably open to considerable dispute, but has any work yet been written dealing with such matters of which the same cannot be said? There is a most welcome absence of dogmatism about most of the statements here made. In many cases alternative derivations are given and the reader is allowed to make his choice between them, though in most cases the writer very rightly states his own preference. He gives in the preface a list of the authorities he has consulted. There is a really excellent introductory chapter on "the Keltic, Roman, Saxon, Scandinavian, and Danish elements" in Wiltshire, in which much sound sense is compressed into a short space. Indeed, taken as a whole, the book is distinguished by its common sense, a distinction by no means always shared by writers on local Etymologies. The headings of the chapters show the scope of the work. "Names derived from enclosures :- Ton; Hams, Burys, Worths, Wicks; Names derived from open spaces, Leighs, Fields, Woods,
