SECOND EDITION. 8vo, cloth extra. Free by Post, 7s. 6d.
A DICTIONARY OF THE SUSSEX DIALECT
AND
LIST OF PROVINCIALISMS IN USE IN THE COUNTY OF. SUSSEX.
BY REV. W. D. PARISH
(Vicar of Selmeston).
" An entirely new feature appears in this glossary. Most people suppose that there is something very repulsive in the study of provincialisms. Mr. Parish's volume ought for ever to dispel this most foolish notion. We do not suppose that Sussex folk are wittier than their despised brethren in the " Sheeres," but simply that Mr. Parish is a better observer, with a keener sense of humour than most glossarists. Mr. Parish's glossary is more entertaining than Punch."—Westminster Review. |
