INTRODUCTION

sincere and hearty thanks for his very valuable services, ungrudgingly given, he having kindly gone over the entire MS. with me. I must also thank Mr. H. R Cornish (H. E. C), who has done the same by the proof-sheets, and Mr. Thomas Cornish (T. C), who placed all his Cornish words at my disposal. Those signed W. N. I had from Mr. Wm. Noye, and Davy, Zennor through Mr. Westlake. Garlands are from a list by the late Mr. Garland in the Journal of the Royal Inst. Cornwall. I have, too, incorporated in this glossary a list of words collected by the Bev. Flavell Cook (F. C.) when at Liskeard, and kindly sent me through the Hev. W. W. Skeat ; and some from those published in the Comishman by Bernard Victor (R Y.) and Wm. Fred. Pentreath (W. F. P.), of Mousehole ; and by F. W. P. Jago, M.B., Plymouth. To all these gentlemen my thanks are due.

Margaret A. Courtney.
