The Compiler wishes to express his great thanks to Miss E. P. Harrison for her courtesy in allowing him to use not only the title but her large collection of names.
He also desires to state his indebtedness to the standard work of Messrs. Larwood and Hotten for much valuable information, and further to thank the many friends who have told him of signs both odd and otherwise.
