The book ""The Significant Name In Terence: A Thesis (1921)"" by James Curtiss Austin is a scholarly work that explores the significance of names in the plays of the ancient Roman playwright Terence.

The author draws on a range of literary and historical sources to support his arguments, and provides detailed analysis of specific examples from Terence's plays.Overall, this book is aimed at scholars and students of classical literature and drama, and provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of Terence's work.
