SYLVAN NOMENCLATURE. 329 



in English-speaking countries throughout the 

 world, yet by far the largest number of them are 

 in England. When they occur in other countries 

 it may be fairly^ assumed that they have had 

 English origin. But whether native or naturalized 

 — or perhaps we should say adopted — the fact of 

 their existence proves a love, to at least some ex- 

 tent, of the subject with which their use is more 

 or less closely connected. 



It must be understood that many different cities, 

 towns, and villages bear the same designations 

 so that the preceding list of some 600 sylvan 

 names does not by any means cover the entire 

 number. But it is offered as a tolerably ex- 

 haustive list of variations in those names, and 

 with such a promising list of sylvan constituencies 

 the Author trusts he may find some readers in- 

 terested in what he has had to say of Sylvan 

 Winter.
