Synopsis
FIRST EDITION, hardcover in dust jacket, published by Edinburgh University Press, 1991. Publisher's statement: "Sylvester Douglas's Treatise on the Provincial Dialect of Scotland is an extraordinary record of the speech habits (and their social consequences) of the Scottish and English upper classes in the eighteenth century. Written as a pronouncing and phonological description of contemporary prestigious London and polite Scottish English, it was never published at the time. An extensive scholarly introduction gives a full biography of Sylvester Douglas (Lord Glenbervie) and places his work in the context of eighteenth-century phonological study. Detailed examples of the principal characteristics of the period's phonology are given and there are comprehensive footnotes throughout." Edited by Charles Jones
