Excerpt from A Glossary of Words Used in the Dialect of Cheshire Although a Glossary of the Words peculiar to each County of England seems as reasonable an object of curiosity as its History, Antiquities, Climate, and various Productions, yet it has been generally omitted by those persons who have undertaken to write the Histories of our different Counties.

Excerpt from An Attempt at a Glossary of Some Words Used in Cheshire, Vol. 19 But there is a still more important benefit to be derived from this custom, were it practised to its full extent in a publication comprising all the provincial Dialects of England, as they would, when united all together, form the only true and solid foundation for a work much wanted, a General Dictionary of the English Language.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ..."Yard," and "garden," both mean the same thing, and have the same A.S. root, geard. See "Diversions of Purley," vol ii. p. 275. w. Kale, S.--Vide Cale. Kandle Gostes, S.--Goose grass (Gerard's Herbal). Vide Catch Grass, galium aperine. L. Kazardly, adj.--Unlucky, liable to accident. Perhaps a variety of Hazardly. w. Keck, V.--To put anything under a vessel, which lifts it up and makes it stand uneven. In Lancashire, " to keyke, or kyke," is to stand crooked.

It is one of those plants which seem to have a power of lying dormant for ages, but appear in quantities as soon as a pasture field is ploughed. 1. Keen, v.--To cauterize. 1.

Excerpt from A Glossary of Dialect and Archaic Words Used in the County of Gloucester I have also found the Glossaries of my fellow-workers in adjoining fields of great assistance in determining the range of words, a matter which I consider to be of very great importance. And in this connection I would say that I have found myself obliged to admit a good many words - in self-defence, so to say - which I should personally have preferred to omit, on the ground that they are words in common usage all over the country, although perhaps not sufficiently polite to find a place in the dictionary. Had I altogether omitted them, it might in the future be supposed that they were not used in this County, and thus a false idea of their range would necessarily arise.
