Excerpt from The Etymology of Local Names: With a Short Introduction to the Relationship of Languages; Teutonic Names Names have all some meaning when first imposed; and when a place is named for the first time, b yany people, they apply to it some term - ih early times generally descriptive of its natural peculiarities, or something else. On account of which it is remarkable, from their own language.

Of this the names they have so impressed are as sure a proof as it' they had left a distinct record of their existence in words engraven on the rocks. Such old names of places often long outlive both the people that bestowed them, and nearly all the material monuments of their occupancy.

And the old topographical nomenclature may Still remain unchanged - Pretoria History of England. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
