"It is now nearly six years ago that the Committee of the Somersetshire Archæological Society asked me to compile a Glossary of the Dialect or archaic language of the County, and put into my hands a valuable collection of words by the late Mr. Edward Norris, surgeon, of South Petherton. I have completed this task to the best of my ability, with the kind co-operation of our late excellent Secretary, WM. ARTHUR JONES; and the result is before the public."

Excerpt from A Glossary of Provincial Words and Phrases in Use in Wiltshire "Our sparkfull youth laugh at their great grandfathers English, who had more care to do well, than to speak minion like, and left more glory to us by their exploiting of great acts than we shall do by our forging anew words and uncuth phrases. "Great, verily, was the glory of our tongue before the Norman Conquest, in this, that the Old English could express most aptly all the conceits of the mind in their own tongue without borrowing from any." - Camden's Remaine, p. 25, edit. 1636.
