This new and much improved edition, besides a great enlargement of the
chapters contained in the previous editions, comprises several that are
entirely new, together with Notes on Scottish, Irish, and Norman
Surnames. The "Additional Prolusions," besides the articles on Rebuses,
Allusive Arms, and the Roll of Battel Abbey, contain Dissertations on
Inn Signs, and Remarks on Christian Names; with a copious Index of many
thousand names. These features render "English Surnames" rather a new
work than a new edition.
