THE custom of persons bearing two
"Christian names" is of comparatively
recent origin in England. An author,
who has had occasion to search many
volumes of old country records, and
who has seen "many thousands and
tens of thousands of proper names be
longing to men of all ranks and de
grees," says that in no instance, dowr
to the end of the reign of Anne, has hi
noticed any person having more thar
one Christian name. The first Instance
which occurs in the county records wa.
in 1717, when Sir Coplestone Warwick
Bainfield appears as Justice. The frs
instances which the same author hal
met in any other place are those of Hen

these appear to have been named aftel
