Author: WYLD, Henry Cecil and HIRST, T. Oakes:
Title: The Place Names of Lancashire; their Origin and History.
Description: Constable, 1911, pp. xxiv, 400. Original buckram. Some slight fading and trivial rubbing to top of spine, but an unusually good, fresh copy. Inserted is a scarce little, and rather scathing, pamphlet by Henry Harrison replying to Wyld's criticisms of his book on the Place-names of the Liverpool District and in return making criticisms of Wyld's book. There would appear to have been little love lost between the two authors.
