A concise A-Z of Surnames in the United Kingdom by Henry Harrison, published 1912.
The two volumes which make up the 'Surname of the United Kingdom' includes an essay on the origins of our surnames, which discusses such topics as the necessity for distinctive nicknames in Scotland, French surnames, Anglo Saxon and Scandinavian names, Flemish names in S. Wales and more. There is also an appendix of principal foreign names found in British directories.
Originally produced by Archive CD Books in 2004, it has now been remastered and re-released and is now fully searchable. A wealth of information and a snapshot in time.
