The writer suggests that many Cornish dialect words are ancient Cornish, preserved by the people without their knowledge. This book also compares Cornish with Chaucer's English, showing similarities between the two that persist to this day in the Cornish dialect. Through this exploration, it highlights the Cornish dialect as a shadow of the language that once was, and a link between the old and new tongue, Celtic and English. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
