Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of Provincial Words and Phrases in Use in Wiltshire "Our sparkfull youth laugh at their great grandfathers English, who had more care to do well, than to speak minion like, and left more glory to us by their exploiting of great acts than we shall do by our forging anew words and uncuth phrases.

Download or read book Glossary of Provincial and Local Words Used in England Classic Reprint written by Francis Grose and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glossary of Provincial and Local Words Used in England Provincial or Local Words are of three kinds, the first, either Saxon or Danish, in general grown obsolete from dis use, and the introduction of more fashionable terms; and, consequently, only retained in countries remote from the ca pital, where modern refinements do not easily find their way, and are not readily adopted. The second sort are words derived from some foreign lan guage, as Latin, French, or German; but so corrupted, by passing through the mouths of illiterate clowns, as to render their origin scarcely discoverable; corruptions of this kind being obstinately maintained by country people, who, like the old Monks, will never exchange their old mumpsimus for the new sumpsimus. The third are mere arbitrary words, not deducible from any primary source of language, but ludicrous nominations.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words, Obsolete Phrases, Proverbs, and Ancient Customs, From the Fourteenth Century, Vol. 1 of 2: A-I A Glossary of Archaic and Provincial Words was compiled about fifty years ago by the Rev. Jonathan Boucher, Vicar of Epsom, but only a small portion, extending to Bla, has yet been published. The manuscript, which is in the custody of one of the editors of the work, I have not seen, but to judge from what has appeared, it probably contains much irrelevant matter. Mr. Toone has given us a small manual of early English words, 8vo. 1832. Nares' Glossary, published in 1822, is confined to the Elizabethan period, a valuable work, chiefly compiled from the notes to the vario edition of Shakespeare.
