Excerpt from Yorkshire Folk Talk It will be at once seen that many words, idioms, and grammatical as well as other usages, noticed in these pages, may be found in other parts of England also. To have inserted those which are peculiar to East Yorkshire only would have been wellnigh an im possibility: my rule, therefore, has been to give any which deviated in some way from the usage of ordi nary English; even thus difficulties arose, for it was not in every case apparent whether a word or phrase should be reckoned as dialectic or not. On this point opinions will differ. The Glossary will be found to contain not far short of two thousand words, and there are throughout the volume about twelve hundred original examples of the dialect. By far the greater portion of these I have heard at various times from the lips of the country-folk themselves, many of whom have most willingly given me information in cases of doubt.

Excerpt from Yorkshire Folk Talk Although the first edition of Yorkshire Folk-Talk met with so favourable a reception from the public, and the issue was so soon exhausted, it is only now, after a lapse of nineteen years, that I have found it practicable to put forth a new and cheaper one. I could wish to have re-written, and made considerable additions to certain parts of the work. This, however, was not possible if the price of the book was to be reduced, and so brought within the reach of a wider class of readers. Beyond a certain number of corrections, the main part of the present edition is identical with the previous one. The Addendum to the Glossary, which is the principal feature of this second issue, contains between 500 and 600 additional words and phrases, together with many original examples of their use. A considerable number of these were inadvertently omitted in the original edition; and I am afraid that there may still be omissions. In this matter I have made no systematic attempt at completeness, though I hope that most of our commoner and more characteristic terms will be found to be included.

Excerpt from Goodies and Other Stories in a Yorkshire Dialect One peculiarity of the district which is perhaps worthy of notice is that there seems to be a difficulty in pronouncing the th sound at the beginning and end of some words. The word three, for instance, often becomes tree, and throne be comes trone, with the suspicion of an effort in the pronunciation, and strength sometimes almost becomes strengt. But the difficulty is not always apparent. The word through, for instance, becomes throofi' with the proper th sound.
