Scientific paper

IT is to be regretted that in his interesting article on Bloomsbury and the University of London, Mr. Humberstone repeats the erroneous statement that Bloomsbury was originally Lomesbury. That statement was made by John Stow, London's first historian, but one can only suppose that he was misled by the mistake of some early copyist. The earliest form of the name known to me is Blemidesberie. I am writing away from references, but that form is at least as old as the fourteenth century. Like other place-names ending in -sbury it must be derived from the personal name of its owner, possibly Blemund.
