Excerpt from Glossary of Dialect Archaic Words: Used in the County of Gloucester
First and foremost amongst such publications I must mention A Glossary of the Cotswold Dialect, by the Rev. R. W. Huntley, published in 1868. All those words in it which were not known to me, or which I could not verify, have been given on the author's authority, and are marked Huntley.
