    Description

    First Edition, Leather Binding, Scarce

    First and only edition. 

    Bound in quarter morocco, with paper covered boards. 

    Discussing the origin and use of names, with general remarks upon those of the Normans, English, Scotch, Irish &c. With a section on the derivation of common English surnames and another on names from the several parts of the body and the "mischievous consequences of compounding them exemplified". 

    With three pages of advertisements. Following this is a 72-page block of blank leaves bound-in, presumably for the owner to take their own notes. 

    Written by one John Henry Brady. 

    From the library of Cornelius Walford (1827-1885) an English writer on insurance.
