About This Item

London: B.T. Batsford, 1986. 154 pp, 8 7/16" H. "The place names of Lancashire are as fascinating as any in Britain, but until the appearance of this book, there had been none to which the interested layman could readily turn for an explanation of their origins and meaning. David Mills, who is a professional medievalist and philologist as well as being an amateur local historian, has made available for the local enthusiast, in a form that can be readily understood, the specialist work done by Eilert Ekwall and other scholars. In addition to the A-Z gazetteer of place names, Dr Mills provides extensive background information about the history, patterns of settlement, topography, administration and language of the country and explains the principles on which the gazetteer has been selected and arranged." Interior - previous owner's small notation, place, date and signature on half-title page; otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - minor edge wear, very small bump at bottom of spine, a few small soft creases on covers.. Soft Cover. Very Good.
