Excerpt from A Glossary of Words and Phrases Pertaining to the Dialect of Cumberland To the southward of this district the words and the mode of pronunciation and expression gradually merge into those of Lancashire; to the northward, into the Scotch; and to the extreme north-east, into the Northumbrian, partaking in some measure of the burr peculiar to parts of that county.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
A Glossary of the Words and Phrases Pertaining to the Dialect of Cumberland (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from A Glossary of the Words and Phrases Pertaining to the Dialect of Cumberland The interest which has of late been growing in favour of our fast disappearing dialects leads me, as one who was born and who lived for many years in Cumberland, to think that an amalgamation of all the Glossaries hitherto published of that dialect might be of value, especially if additions were made, and new matter introduced. Tho most notable Glossary is that formed by Mr Wm. Dickinson, and published by the English Dialect Society in 1878. Having obtained permission from the Trustees of the author, and from the Society, I have built my work upon this collection as a foundation, and have endeavoured not to alter the character of the original more than necessary. The Introduction to the edition of 1878 has been retained in its entirety, and is here reprinted because, conditions having remained the same, I could neither alter nor improve upon it. The information it gives is as true to-day as it was when written. Other Glossaries have contributed their share to this volume, and almost every word is vouched for as to whether it be in use or obsolete. A few I have not been able to verify, but a note will be found to this effect, although it should not be taken as a proof that the word does not exist; some have been withdrawn, because they are to be found in all standard dictionaries, and are in no way to be considered dialectic, whilst a few "ghost words" have been retained.
