The Vocabulary of East Anglia, Vol. 1 of 2: An Attempt to Record the Vulgar Tongue (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Vocabulary of East Anglia, Vol. 1 of 2: An Attempt to Record the Vulgar Tongue
The Introduction and the two first Essays were entirely finished, and copied out fairly for the press. The Vocabulary had been for some time in an equally forward state of preparation, and had been repeatedly revised. These parts may therefore be said to have received the Author's final correction. The Essay on the Grammar of the east-anglian Dialect was composed subsequently, and was copied out fairly for more than three parts of its length. The remainder was supplied by the Editor from a rough copy, which, however, he was not always able exactly to decipher; and he suspects it was not quite finished by the Author. For the Appendix there were some materials, Of which the Editor has availed himself.
Such was the state of the work, when the Author was, by the will of Providence, suddenly snatched away, and his book left incomplete. It was still, however, the opinion of his friends (of whom the Editor avows himself to have been one)
