Excerpt from Bibliographical List of the Works That Have Been Published, Towards Illustrating the Provincial Dialects of England "Much of the peculiarity of dialect prevalent in Anglo-Saxon times, is preserved even to the present day in the provincial dialects of the same districts. In these local dialects, then, remnants of the Anglo Saxon tongue may be found in its least altered, most uncorrupt, and therefore in its purest state. Having a strong and expressive language of their own, they had little desire and few opportunities to adopt foreign idioms or pronunciation, and thus to corrupt the purity of their ancient language. Our present polished phrase and fashionable pronunciation are often new, and, as deviating from primitive usage, faulty and corrupt. We are, therefore, much indebted to those zealous and patriotic individuals who have referred us to the archaisms of our nervou language, by publishing provincial glossaries, and giving specimens of their dialects."
