Dictionary of British Provincialisms. The Philological Society having resolved to attempt the collection of such remains of our older language as are still preserved in the local dialects of the British Islands, requests, in furtherance of this important object, any information respecting the provincialisms current in any part of the country, which those persons who have taken an interest in observing and noting down local peculiarities of language, may be enabled to communicate. The Society wishes to specify the following points, as those towards which its views are more particularly directed:—1. Words peculiar to the district. 2. Words not to be found in the ordinary dictionaries of the English language. 3. Words employed in significations different from those commonly attached to them. 4. Peculiarities of pronunciation and of grammatical construction. Any communications sent to the Society will be preserved with care, and, it is hoped, may eventually be turned to account in the publication of a Dictionary of British Provincialisms, on a more extensive scale than has hitherto been accomplished. It is requested that such communications be addressed to J. G. Cochrane, Esq., Assistant Secretary, Philological Society, 49, Pall Mall, London.
The History and Antiquities of Wensleydale. By W. G. J. Barker, Esq. As it is the Author's wish to combine, as far as it is practicable, antiquarian details with agreeable description, he confidently anticipates the co-operation of all classes in the neighbourhood. Gentlemen who feel disposed to render assistance, or who possess information likely to prove available, are respectfully requested to communicate with him, by post, as early as possible. Harmby, near Leyburn, March, 1844.
