 104 For the sake of simplicity and uniformity, the writer has made this attempt to compile one glossary for the whole County. He is convinced that such a method, if it can be perfected, will be found to be more useful and practical, notwithstanding the wide difference in dialect between the extreme ends of the County. The names and authorities, so far as they can be ascertained, are given in the reference table at the end of the glossary. Wherever words are quoted they are signified by initials or names to each of them. The rest of the glossary not so initialed consists of words known to the writer. A large number of Eabelaisque words could be added but for obvious reasons they are entirely omitted.
