Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Présentation de l'éditeur
The following little work is intended to embrace a collection of the lingual localisms; popular superstitions, fairy-lore, and other traces ofT eutonic heathenism, to this day preserved among the rural population of Northamptonshire. The curious dialects of Northamptonshire have hitherto escaped investigation; and with the exception of two short glossaries, appended to the Village Minstrel, and Poems illustrative of Rural Life andS cenery, of John Clare, the subjoined collections are now, for the first time, printed.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
