Excerpt from Lindsey: And Other Poems The names are formed from some connexion with the real names of the persons they represent, or from some conspicuous personal distinction of a creditable character. It may seem strange to a hasty observer that the names should be derived from so many languages - English, French, Icelandic, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew - but it must be borne in mind how mixed is the race to which they belong, and our names which we use in daily life are quite as varied. Many of the individuals alluded to might, to the writer's knowledge, with much humility and thankfulness, have applied to themselves the words Of the Psalmist as we find them in Psalm lxxi., from verse 12 to the end of the psalm.
