Excerpt from An Etymological Glossary of the Shetland Orkney Dialect: With Some Derivations of Names of Places in Shetland, (Partly Read at Two Meetings of the Philological Society in the Spring of 1866) In offering these pages to the kind forbearance of his friends and the public, the author is aware of their many imperfections. He gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to those friends who take a warm interest in the preservation of the dialect peculiar to the far north, and who have demonstrated that interest by supplying material for this work. Some four hundred of the words and phrases in this Vocabulary are to be found in that noble work Jamieson's Scottish Dictionary. The writer must acknowledge his special obligations to the MSS. left by the late Mr. William Grant, a Shetlander of considerable linguistic attainments, and of cultivated mind. A large number of words, which had escaped the author's research, were found among Mr. Grants papers, and the derivations of the names of islands, places, etc., are in many cases also from his pen. Valuable assistance has also been received from the very Rev. Thomas Barclay, D.D., Principal of the College of Glasgow - assistance which is here most gratefully acknowledged.
