About this title

Synopsis

The Etymological Compendium, Or, Portfolio Of Origins And Inventions. Containing A Particular Account Of London And Its Public Buildings. This dense reference work surveys the origins of London place-names, streets, wards, churches, markets, and civic institutions, blending etymology with antiquarian lore and cross-cultural toponymy. It is alphabetically organized and rich with cross-references to historical figures and events, while extending its scope to sites beyond London in the British Isles, Europe, the Americas, and other regions. The volume also covers the etymologies of common words, epithets, and phrases, alongside topics in language history, architecture, printing history, theater, and folklore. Its tone remains scholarly yet entertaining, linking geography, history, and linguistic development through concise entries, anecdotes, and quotations to illuminate how names and terms arose and traveled through time.
