Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Glossary of Words Used in Swaledale, Yorkshire The circumstances under which the following Glossary was written are sufficiently explained in Captain Harland´s letter prefixed to the Glossary. The MS. copy was kindly given to the Society by Mr Aldis Wright, and I have had much pleasure in undertaking the duty of seeing it through the press, a duty which has been much lightened by the fact that the MS. is written in a perfectly clear and distinct handwriting. Except in correcting one or two very trifling slips of the pen, I have made no alteration in it, beyond the addition of a very few remarks which have been added within square brackets; some of these suggestions (marked with the initials ´J. C. A.´) being due to the Rev. J. C. Atkinson, author of the Cleveland Glossary, and some (marked ´C. C. R.´) to Mr C. Clough Robinson; both these members of the E. D. S. having kindly assisted me in revising the proof-sheets. I have also added, after each word, its part of speech (as sb., v., &c.), which is not, in any case, in the MS. copy. Wherever, too, a word is illustrated by the poem of ´Reeth Bartle Fair´ (see p. 3), I have supplied the reference to the line where the word occurs. But the principal addition has been the insertion, against every word, of its most usual pronunciation, as denoted by Glossic symbols, which important matter has only been accomplished by the care and diligence of Mr C. C. Robinson. Mr Goodchild also most kindly assisted, by forwarding, for Mr Robinson´s use, numerous notes on the pronunciation, due to his own intimate acquaintance with the Swaledale district. Mr Robinson has also contributed some remarks upon certain peculiarities of the pronunciation. Some of these will be found in the Glossary, in their due places; the remainder, being of a more general character, seemed better suited for a place in this Introduction, and follow here accordingly. With regard to the spelling of the word Bowt, a bolt, which might also have been spelt Bout, it may be remarked that the change from u to w is a mere caprice, by reason of there being words with different meanings, which could not be so readily distinguished if the eye were not assisted in this way.
