Description

This reference book is a dictionary of proper names, names, places and titles. The book brings together a widely disparate range of information, not available in a standard dictionary, and not easily accessible elsewhere. This edition has been revised and updated by Dr John Paxton, editor of "The Stateman's" yearbook for many years.
