Sinossi
This is the first volume of a catalogue of obsolete English phrases, proverbs, and ancient customs from the fourteenth century. This fascinating book will be of considerable utility to the language-enthusiast and philologist, and it would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature. The sections include: “The English Provincial Dialects”, “Bedfordshire”, “Berkshire”, “Cambridgeshire”, “Cheshire”, “Cornwall”, “Derbyshire”, “Dorsetshire”, “Durham”, “Gloucestershire”, “Hampshire”, “Herefordshire”, “Huntingdonshire”, etcetera. James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps (1820 - 1889) was an English Shakespearean scholar who famously collected English Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales. This book was first published in 1874, and is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
