* For William de la Zouch, archbishop of Yorke, is so called in this verse, for his valour in an encounter against the Scottishmen at Bearparke, 1342:

"Est pater inuictus sicco de stipite dictus."

Camden, Rem., p. 133.

I have mentioned several Latin surnames in the various chapters of this work; the following may be added as still in use:

Addenda et Corrigenda.

VOL. I.

P. 11. The Norwegian king, Barefoot, spent much of his time in Scotland, where he adopted the Celtic costume prevalent in that country. The absence of the nether garment excited so much surprise, on his return to Norway, that he acquired the sobriquet of Barefoot.'

P. 46. The IN and OF in lines 22 and 23 should be transposed. Of, implies possession; in, residence only.

P. 52. Estarling, was a name given to the inhabitants of any country eastward of England, particularly to those of the Hanse Towns. The pure coinage introduced by them, temp. Rich. I, gave rise to the expression 'easterling' or 'sterling' money. In the course of ages, this epithet, at first metaphorically applied, has come to designate anything excellent or genuine. Camden is my authority for the statement that Stradling is a corruption of Estarling. (See also p. 195 of this volume.)

P. 125, &c. Gilmour, anglicised to Gilmore, was the designation of the henchman or follower of a chief in Scotland. It is believed to be derived from the Celtic "gillie-mohr," great servant.

P. 157. In addition to the Scottish names with the prefix MAC, may be mentioned McIntosh, the son of the leader; McNabb, the son of the abbot; and McPherson, the son of the parson.

VOL. II.

P. 8. Dalzell. I am informed that no word approaching this, either in sound or orthography, is to be found in the Celtic tongue. This part of the legend is consequently unworthy of the least credit. The name is probably local. Perhaps one half of the names in my chapter on Ilistorical Surnames' would, on strict investigation, be found to belong to the same class. I cannot, however, regret having given. insertion to them, connected as they are with curious legends, some circumstances of which may be founded on actual oc

currences.

P. 10. Napier. The legend respecting the origin of this name, though sanctioned by several respectable writers, must be rejected as a mere fiction. In the medieval records of Scotland, the name is written Le Naper, and it was doubtless derived from an office antiently belonging to the royal court, ranging with Le Botiler, Le Gros Veneur, &c. In England, William de Hastings, temp. Hen. I, held the manor of Ashele, co. Norfolk, by the service of taking charge of the napery (table-cloths and linen), at the coronation of the English kings.*
