The latter of these two surname forms is more indicative of their origin than the former, Just as there has been a curious growth in the meaning of place names ending in 'ham," in England, tire end- . lag "cote" or "cott" has come to have a much more inclusive meaning than It had originally. The ending "ham," 'which we have to=day preserved in its more developed+ meaning in the word "hamlet," even though this is a diminutive by virtue- of irtueof the "let," was originally the same as the word "home." In very modems tunes we have come to regard a "cottage" as a 'sort of sum- mer home of the wealthy, but only a short time ago it had the nieaning"of a humble little home. And back in the Anglo-Saxon days, before the English felt the necessity for, or thought of the possibility of family navies, the "cote" was pretty much the same as the "ham," or homestead, except that it was a more humble dwelling. But in the course of time, as the "ham" came to include, when part of a.place name, all the buildings which ultimately grouped around the original homestead in the growth of a community, so the "cote" ending came to designate all the buildings and additional cottages which were built around that one which was responsible for the place name. As a family name Wescott, or West - 'Cott, was originally significant merely of the fact that the bearer came from CALDW ELL. Variations—Calwell, Caldwell. Rada Origin --English. Source—A locality. o that One theory as. to the origin of this family name ascribes it to the com- bination of the words "col," meaning the hazel, and "weld" or wood, malt- sing the meaning of „the family naive "Hazelwood." it is an explanation by no means unreasonable, and in some instances it may very well account for the .existence of the name. Probability, however, points in an; other direction for the'majority.of peo- ple who bear this name. And this time, it is the obvious one, a conibin.a- tion of the two words' "cold" and "well." This is supported by the fact that in some of the old records the original form of the surname is found with the "dela" ("of the") prefixed, At Ithe period when these words were pre - vexed, the name must have been indica- tive of the locality in which the person. lived, and "cold -well" would' not have been confused with. "hazel -wood." The form of Caldwell is, of course,' but a more modern variation in spell- ing, developed at a period when spell l ing was not so standardized as .to -day, but after the period when such family names continued to have a descriptive meaning. Sometimes Caldor -ell ie a variation developed by the elimination of the "I." But there is a village in Wales called. Caldwell, and this form of the name has come from that source.

"He would take a square inch of the_ drawing, count the lines I had made in that space and compare their number with those made on a square inch of illustration for Alice by Tenniel. In due course I would re- ceive a long essay on the subject from Dodgson, the mathematician" It was too much! Mr. Furniss stood it for a while and then declared that if it were to continue he must throw up the job. Mr. Dodgson was shocked and surprised; he wrote that it was a cruel disappointment to him to receive such a declaration "on account of a sdngie square -inch of a picture as to which we disagree"; and he suggested l— --� theyshould set- tleof ail things. that their differences in print.
