This is perhaps the Choicest Collection of
Boys' Names in the English Language

To the Reader.--I beg to make one very important remark upon this
immense variety of boy's names, and that is:--Be sure and preserve
the list carefully, as it will serve from which to choose names for
your sons up to the number of 555, without using the same name over
again. P.S.--If you should be very, very lucky, and have more than
555 sons, and want more names, call on Professor Cole, at the Book
Arcade, Melbourne, Australia, and he will give you an extra list.
