SURNAMES Were introduced into England by the Normans. The old Normons used Fitzwhioh signified son, as Fitzherbert ; the Irish used O for grandson, as O'Neal ; the Scottish Highlanders used Mac, as Macdonald, son of Donald: in the North the English added the word son, as Williamson. Some firms tiso the apostrophe in a peculiar way, thus Udolpho Wolfe's Son and Co. is the present name of the proprietors of Wolfe's Schnapps, the most favourably kiown and finest stimulant in the world. It is well to beware of imitations, and to buy whole bottles. ', 32
