Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Humber. It is not improbable, then, that it was at BURNES-ton, in theN orth Riding of Yorkshire, which is so much nearer the point where A nlaf disembarked, since with that place also the name of BURNES can be identified from beyond the conquest. Though the Hilom, says Dr Whitaker, flows through this parish, it is scarcely sufficient to have given it a name even in a country where burns are rare; and we must apply the general rule for local names, that where the genitive case is prefixed to ley, ton, and am, the previous syllables denote the firstS axon planter of the village.

BuRNES-ton juxta Ermuldon, inN orthumberland, was one of the estates left by Jacoba, wife of John deS tryvelyn, chevalier, 14 Richard II,3 and the manoure of BuRNES-toii in Derbyshire, pertaining to the Abbey of Welbek, and BuRNES-dale, Burne-house, and other BuRNES-tons, are all duly entered in the records of church plunder during the reign of Henry VIII, or in the Calendars of Pleadings, c. in that of his daughter Elizabeth.4 As far more ancient, however, I may mention Burnstead inK ent, designated BuRNES-stede so early as 814, in a charter of Coanulf, King of Mercia, recently printed at length by Mr Kemble,5
