329 The comparisons with the Celtic Cornish language, so far as the writer has ventured to give them, are prin- cipally according to the " Lexicon Cornu-Britannicum '* of Williams. Great thanks are due to Mr. J. R Netherton, of Truro, who, as an experienced publisher, has afforded much practical help in correcting and revising the list of writers on Cornish dialect. The lists of words contributed by the writer to the " Cornishman," (a newspaper published in Penzance), in 1879, 1880, are, with numerous additions of his own since, added to the glossary. In order to distinguish more clearly between pro- vincial words, and those of the ancient language, the term Celtic Cornish instead of old Cornish is used.
