This fascinatingly pedantic paper, delivered at the Association's July 1886 St Marychurch meeting addresses the correct mode of spelling Sir Walter Ralegh's patronymic (or surname), a topic on which many authorities have disagreed. The author makes a plea for Sir Walter's name to be spelled Ralegh rather than any of its numerous variations.
