Excerpt from More About Names
Would have been much better for the Author's peace of mind if the writing of this work could have been taken out in very small instalments. The throwing together of an abundance of material in strictly alphabetical form, without order or arrangement, after the manner of a dictionary, is a comparatively easy task; but the classification of the same material so that each section shall make a readable chapter by itself renders it necessary for the Author to ring the changes upon the same phraseology throughout, from the start to the finish. If, therefore, some fastidious reader should find fault with the grouping together of several items in one and the same sentence, he would do well to reflect upon the peculiar difficulties under which the Author has had to labour. As well might such a one point to a field thickly studded with stakes, and exclaim to his neighbour, There! I expect you to walk through that gracefully! More than this.
