VERBA NOMINALIA, OR WORDS DERIVED
FROM PROPER NAMES.
London: Trübner & Co., 60, Paternoster Row.
"The book necessarily contains some instructive, and in many cases amusing in formation, which will to some readers be entirely new, and it is particularly well suited for the use of schools and teachers."—The London Review.
"There are few etymologists who can afford to dispense with the book. The plan is well conceived and happily carried out."—Reader.
"Dr. Charnock has worked out his idea very completely and well, and given us a book which no one should fail to possess."—Court Circular.

LOCAL ETYMOLOGY:
A Derivative Dictionary of Geographical Names.
London: Houlston & Sons, 65, Paternoster Row.
"Contains a large selection of names most likely to be sought for, ans is carefully compiled."—Examiner.
"An immense amount of industry has been brought to bear upon the compilation of this dictionary."...."Those interested in such a study will, in this dictionary, find a help such as they have hitherto found the want of."—Morning Post.
"Contains the etymology of about 3000 names of most interest to the general reader; but the reader may, by applying the information furnished by Dr. Charnock with reference to the prefixes and affixes of local names, carry the work far beyond the limits within which the author has confined himself."—Notes and Queries.
"A Volume on which Dr. Charnock has spent much labour, with corresponding success."—Athenœum.
"The genealogies have been followed out with much labour and research through numerous languages."—Globe.
"As a compilation, it indicates a considerable amount of philological attainment, and less of that perplexing ingenuity so characteristic of etymologists, which amuses rather than instructs."—Westminster Review.
"The two great requisites for the task were industry and judgment, and by the help of these Dr. Charnock has produced a useful and instructive, and, we may add, an entertaining and curious volume."—Morning Chronicle.
"To a conviction of the importance of the study of etymology, together with a love of the study itself on the part of Dr. Charnock, we are indebted for the present admirable volume, which for conscientious inquiry, accuracy, and skill in the performance, could scarcely be surpassed in value, and, as such, is constituted an incontestable authority in the matter of which it treats. It will accordingly find grateful acceptance with antiquaries, students, and men of letters. The work is marked by diligent research in ancient and modern languages, and consultation of numerous histories and other works."—Daily Telegraph.

GUIDE TO THE TYROL;
COMPRISING PEDESTRIAN TOURS OF 1600 MILES IN TYROL, STYRIA, CARIN-

London: W. J. Adams, 59, Fleet Street.
"We can only say, put this nice little guide in your pocket, and go and see the country."—Athenæum.
"As a brief record of personal experience, this little volume, which would occupy small space in the corner of a knapsack, will, we have no doubt, prove a most useful companion to anyone who proposes to follow the author's footsteps through the beautiful scenery to be found among the mountains and valleys of the Tyrol."—Notes and Queries.
"For the full information on the Tyrol we beg to refer our readers to a concise, useful, and interesting little work just published, entitled 'Guide to the Tyrol,' by R. S. Charnock."—Bradshaw's Continental Railway Guide.
"This book is not only interesting, but useful. The information it contains will enable the tourist to make his was through a large portion of the finest scenery in Europe with no more help than a light purse, a cotton umbrella, and a leather knapsack."—Morning Chronicle.
"Genuine, and a model of brevity."—Dorset County Chronicle.
