Holyoake's separate publications; but it had to be abandoned with various similar projects. I shall never do the bibliography now, and therefore write to say that I will lend what I have done and all the works I have to any sympathetic, responsible person who will compile such a catalogue (and pay for its being printed ?). There are about 113 entries under Holyoake's name in the British Museum Catalogue. One of the first things to be done would be to rearrange the whole of these titles, in order to disentangle them from the confusion they are now in, caused by the titles being placed in what is supposed to be alphabetical order. They would be of greater use if, instead of being alphabetical, they had been in historical or biographical order of date. The alphabetical is almost useless, and fortunately has not been adopted by There are several anonyma" (8th S. ix. 342), as "The Purple lecture used by the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, 1846"; and another on 'The India and China Teamart,' Glasgow (185-). The Life of the Celebrated Lord Brougham' is pseudonymous. I happened to dip into this. Holyoake says:— says, "The English nation has just lost the greatest nobleman it possessed......Lord Brougham published an edition of Paley's Natural Theology more ambitious than successful-and left Paley he "wrote three rather less interesting than he was before." "Brougham," volumes of Political Philosophy, by which no politicians were ever made philosophic." A little further on, talking of Brougham's "capacity to see, when commencing a sentence, what the end of it should be," Holyoake says: "Most speakers have some difficulty in beginning a sentence, and have no idea whatever what the termination will be, and not infrequently in their hands a sentence never attains to a termination at all." Holyoake had a great capacity for looking at most things-statements or matters-in a different light from others. His name first appears in 'Men of the Time' in 1872. Mr. Washington Moon left him out of the thirteenth edition, which he edited in 1891. Mr. V. G. Plarr did not reinstate him in the next edition, 1895. Whether these editors thought he must be dead or did not know him is doubtful. Holyoake reappeared, however, in Who's Who' in 1897, and continued to the last edition. About 1875 he was, says a paper of that date, "in broken health, and a fund is sought to be raised on his behalf." This was subscribed to by persons of all shades of religious and political opinions, and I believe that a small annuity was bought for him. If I had the call, I should like to name Mr. W. E. A. Axon as the person to undertake such a bibliography; and with his unlimited capacity for work it would be little trouble to him, I imagine. RALPH THOMAS. ANGLO-SAXON NAMES AS SURNAMES. MANY have pointed, with some pride, to the forms of their surnames as proving or suggesting that their families came over with the Conqueror. Surely it is even more interesting to observe that, in other instances, surnames are still in use that were already used as pames before the Conqueror came to England at all. I notice that, in Bardsley's 'Dictionary of Surnames,' many names are said to be of English origin, and yet the true AngloSaxon forms from which they have descended are but obscurely suggested. It is possible to be more exact. By way of example, take the A.-S. name Ethelwine, formerly very common. In later A.-S. or in Norman, it became Egelwine (regularly), with the g sounded as ; and this is the obvious origin of the modern surname Aylwin, with its variants Aylen, Aylin, and Ayling. Ailof and Ailuf in early times; but pr Bardsley is wrong in regarding th resulting in the modern Ayliffe. The from u or o to a modern form i can ha admitted. Miss Yonge is also mi in deriving Ayliffe from Elfgifu. It to see that Bardsley is right as to the and Miss Yonge is right as to the As a fact, the form Ethelgifu also a as Eileva, and could only result in th Ayliffe. WALTER W. S ROBERT GREENE'S PROSE WO (See 10th S. iv. 1, 81, 162, 224, 483; v. 84, 424.) GREENE'S indebtedness to Primau still my theme.

It must suffice because he hazarded his life so ra to say that her book goes back to the year Greene, Euphues, his Censure to Phi 1884, when the notion of deriving words (vi. 240-41), 1587: "For I rememb in accordance with historical forins and Isadas, a worthy Lacedemonian [h phonetic laws, especially in the case of varies his copy]......the battaile end names, was insufficiently regarded. None Senators gave him a Crowne of Lau of her results can now be accepted without the Victory; but fined him in a s verification, though of course a large number money for his rashnesse." In the sam are quite correct. at p. 243, Greene gives us the exa Sergius, who fought so well with one altered from Primaudaye, chap. xxv., The A.-S. forms Ethelwine and Elfwine, both common, could either of them have resulted in Alwyne or Elwin or Elvin ; but it is better to prefer Elfwine, as it precludes the form Ayl- above. Here I think Miss Yonge made a wise choice. Similarly A.-S. Elfmær became Elmer; and the A.-S. Elfweard became Allard and Ellard. This is much better than deriving them from Æthelweard, of which the regular representative (as above) is Aylward, and another representative was Adelard, which is the modern Adlard. But it should be understood that there is often some slight doubt as to the precise origin; for example, the fairly common A.-S. Ealhheard might also result in Allard (but hardly in Ellard). Similarly, the A.-S. Ælfgōd gave us Algood and Elgood; and Elfgar gave us Algar and Elgar. The representation of the A.-S. E by both A and E is worthy of notice. The A.-S. Ethelwulf became, regularly, Primaudaye, chap. xxxv., Of I Sloth, and Gaming, p. 370: "Amon obscure precepts which Pythagoras his Disciples, this was one: Take hee thou sit not upon a bushell: meani Idlenes and Sloth were especially eschewed."-Greene, The Royall Ex (viii. 239), 1590: Pythagoras am Enigmaes, hath thys: Take heed, especially to be eschewed."
