''More Bywords'' is a collection of essays and articles by Charlotte M. Yonge, a prominent 19th-century British author. The book includes a variety of topics, such as historical events, literary criticism, and religious commentary. Yonge’s writing style is characterized by her deep knowledge of history and literature, as well as her strong moral convictions. The essays in this book offer insights into the Victorian era, as well as reflections on timeless themes such as love, death, and faith. ''More Bywords'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the works of Charlotte M. Yonge or the cultural and intellectual climate of the 19th century.Isabel has meantime been chatting very pleasantly with grandmamma, and trying to extricate us from our bewilderment as to names and nicknames. My poor mother, after strenuously preventing abbreviations in her own family, has to endure them in her descendants, and as every one names a daughter after her, there is some excuse! This Oxford Margaret goes by the name of Pie or Pica, apparently because it is the remotest portion of Magpie, and her London cousin is universally known as Metelill--the Danish form, I believe; but in the Bourne Parva family the young Margaret Druce is nothing worse than Meg, and her elder sister remains Jane.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
