Excerpt from The Dialect of Craven, in the West-Riding of the County of York, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Copious Glossary, Illustrated by Authorities From Ancient and Scottish Writers, and Exemplified by Two Familiar Dialogues
Collections of provincial dialects would often have been extremely useful, 'many words esteemed peculiar to certain counties, being remnants of the language formerly in general use. But these collections are, unfortunately, few and scanty. County histories, which have long received the most extensive encouragement, should always contain a careful compilation of this kind from certain and correct authorities. From these, digested together, the history of our language might ultimately receive important illustration.
