be the event from which the ancient 
name of this place originated. I sup- 
pose it to be a compound of Roman and 
of Saxon, which many of our names, as 
well of persons, as of places, certainly 
are; and the words of which tt is com- 
pounded to be a Saxon one, Tivoli, sig- 
nifying industry, whence it is in some 
places written, Tiolfingacester; the Ro- 
man word Vulgus, the Multitude; the 
Saxon one, Fengan, to lay hands on; and - 
then the Roman again, Castrum, an- 
glicized in the word Cester, or station, » 
Thus analysed, it signifies the place 
where much industry was employed, in 
laying hands on the multitude.” Thus 
far our author. 
But we have, Tivol: in Italy, on the 
Tiverone. This place was originally 
named Tibur, from T7726 or Tiv, astream, 
and Ur border; Ur, in larerigiiles, was 
changed to U/, and Ol, as in a variety of 
other words, where R hath changed to 
I. Fin, pronounced jing, implies little ; 
_.d may unply hill, or be a letter here only- 
used in composition; Cester is Camp. 
Tiovulfingacester then implies, not ‘ the 
place where much industry was em- 
ployed, in laying hands on the multitude,” 
but the Stream Border little Hill Camp; 
and this perfectly describes the old Ro- 
man camp at Southweil. 
I have, in my last, explained the term 
Bibroci. The Cenimanni dwelt on the 
Kennett, and were denominated in this. 
name by Lake Landers ; as were those 
of Norfolk, &c. “The Segontraci have: 
not been rightly explained, but are de- 
rived from Segh, an hilly Gon, or Con, a 
lake; and Yoiche country; were thé 
Lake Hill Country Men, and dwelt on 
the -hills at the head of the lake. The 
Ancalites, from An water; Cal, an hill; 
and Ait, a place, were the Water-hiil 
Inhabitants. Mr. Baxter accounts these 
shepherds to the Attrebates; but they. 
were, I conceive, the inhabitants in and 
around Caleva: for Cal in both is the 
same, and An water. in the one, the same 
as dv, varied to Ev, inthe other.. ) * 
The Attrebates have been strangely 
rendered. These lying on the bordérs’ 
of the Thames, would most likely have 
_their name derived partly from the water 
which bounded them. Accordingly, 
from Ad water, which is as often written

At, or Att; Re, which in our old names 
is often written for er border, (as in the 
viver Otter, which is also written Qtre, 
Ottre, and Autre,) and Buit, which sig- 
hifes the same as Ait a place; is the

name Attrebates. derived, and implies 
the Stream Border Inhabitants. er | 
The Cassieuchlani I shall next con= ’ 
sider: gthis word has also never been, 
rightly rendered. Much indeed has bee 
unsatisfactorily and irrationally said 
upon it. Cuise is Gaelic, for stream. I 
have in my last letters explained the 
word Ac, or Ach, border. Its variations. 
to Och, Uch, and Euch, may be easily 
traced from examples, From the syl- 
lable Jann, we derive our word land; and 
hence the Cassieuchlani, will likewise 
imply, what they were, Stream Borderers. 4 
The Dobuni, from dob a stream and er 
land, varied to an and un, are proved im 
a late treatise to mean the same. 
In my last, I explained Speen, and now + 
proceed on the same road; Verlucioa, 
trom Uir,, Vir, or Ver, border, and Luc, 
a lake, or stream, was rightly rendered by 
the Saxons, Leckham, the first syllable of 
which is also stream, and Ham, a vari- 
ation of hem, border. 
Verulam, or Verolann, as'well as the 
before-mentioned names, has never been 
rightly rendered. The same fancies and 
absurdities are repeated in explanations 
of this name, as the reader will find, who 
examines, as in the foregoing. Ulver: 
ston is situated at the confluenceof two 
str s: Ul is derived from A 
changed to Au, and this to 
so that U/ implies water 1 
Ulles, in Giles water, andino 
land.» In like manner, Verul willimply 
Verulam, therefore, as m and m were 
used indiscriminately in this name, will 
imply the Water Border Land. 
The Trinobantes have been variously 
rendered, but, except in One treatise, not 
correctly ; I wish, however, further to 
elucidate this term; so that hereafter, 
no one who may write hereon shall, 
against the honour of our country, amuse 
us with so many idle and absurd stories, 
as the reader may easily find in authors 
who have explained this and the fore- ~ 
going terms, The word aighe, implies | 
an hill; and it takes a prefix in"Barghe, 
which also implies hill in Baighe Torr, or —_ 
Baigtorr, and in many otherMames of | 
| , aighe, 
or Brighe, the Gaelic for hill In hke 
manner, An water, takes a prefix in Can, 
a lake, or stream; and this has 7 inserted 
in Cran, or~Crane, a stream.- These 
words take prefixes, for the purpose 
mentioned in the begiatie of this letter,
