182 Recent Wiltshire Books^ Pcw^Mets, Articles, &c. 



Stokes, Combs, Downs, Deans, Hills, &c. ; Names derived from water, 

 Fords, Brooks, Wells, Founts, and Lakes ; Names variously derived and 

 not included in the foregoing chapters." Under each name is given its 

 equivalent in Domesday and in the Nomina Villarum of 1316, and in 

 many cases a word or two as to its history. Altogether a very useful 

 and cheap book of reference, in which can be found conveniently 

 arranged in a small space information which must otherwise be sought 

 in many books not always easily accessible to the general reader. A 

 second volume dealing with Wiltshire surnames is promised shortly.

DulceDomum. George Moberly (D.CX., Headmaster 

 of Winchester College, 1835—66, Bishop of Salis- 

 bury, 1869—85). His Family and Friends. By his 



daughter, C A. E. Moberly, with portraits and illustrations. London : 

 John Murray, Albemarle Street, W. 1911. 



8vo. Linen. 10s. 6(i. net. pp. xii. + 312. There are two portraits 

 of George Moberly and two of Mary Anne, his wife ; a view of Salisbury 

 Cathedral, and two views of Winchester, Warden's Garden, and College 

 Chapel. 



This book was written, it is explained, for the family, in the first 

 place. " In the following story journals, letters, and names are used as 

 could only be done in private, or semi-private. The company for which j 

 it is put together can hardly be called small, though it is closely related. 

 At this moment my Father's and Mother's immediate descendants 

 number eighty-one persons. Bishop and Mrs. Moberly had fifteen 

 children, all of whom lived beyond childhood, and forty-one grand- 

 children ; and they already have twenty-five great-grandchildren . . 

 To my many nephews and nieces this story is dedicated, in the belief 

 that they will be glad to make acquaintance with the relations that 

 they have never seen, and as the generations pass, w^ith those they 

 have never heard of." So says the writer of the book, and it is precisely 

 this note of family intimacy that gives the charm that the book possesses 

 for the general public. For the Wykehamical reader it has of course a 

 very special attraction, for the whole atmosphere of the book is pre- , 

 dominately Wykehamical, whilst for the Wiltshireman who cares | 

 nothing for the things of Winchester, there is the last third of the book, 

 which deals with the episcopate of Sarum, and troops of Awdrys and 

 Moberlys permanently or temporarily connected with the County of 

 Wilts are always more or less in evidence.
