Excerpt from Place-Names of Gloucestershire: A Handbook Place-Names record faithfully enough to us, not only the settlements formed by our forerunners belonging to ancient races (the possessors and the places possessed), in the land we live in, but they tell us not a little as to what were their actual demands upon these; what were their labours, their homely callings, where were fought their battles, where were heaped their dikes and defences, and, finally, their impressive burial-mounds. Of some few, however, such as certain river-names, it may be said that these only glimmer to us in an uncertain, often tantalizing, way, through the deep night of pre-history, like light from some of the remoter stars, the spectra of which are too faint to give any certain results. Place-names often reveal to us the personal names of the originators of hamlets, and the owners of manors, as well as the identity of the once-important tribalcentre, market, or hundred; so many of which have now dwindled to almost insignificant farms, if, indeed, they have not actually disappeared. Furthermore, by subjecting their early variant-forms to the comparative process, they not infrequently discover to us the secrets of certain sound-changes, which have been due either to dialectal influences, or, more often, to those peculiar modifications which took place in initial and other groups of consonants in order to suit Norman articulation. All this, then, that they give us, is historical material. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
