Synopsis
Excerpt from The Celtic Element in the Dialectic Words of the Counties of Northampton and Leicester
As it is impossible, within reasonable limits, to ex nmiue the dialectic words of every county in England, I must make choice of some part that may be fairly taken as a representative of the whole. After some hesitation I have selected the counties of Northampton md Leicester as the best representatives of the country lying between the eastern counties and the line within which a mingled race is allowed to exist. Any other part would answer my purpose equally well if an ade quate glossary of its dialectic words has been published. I select these two counties because, they are remote from the line within which a mingled population is now admitted; there can have been little con nection, if any, between this part of the country and Wales or Ireland since the time of the Saxon conquest and there are no parts difficult of access, where a conquered race might have found shelter from their foes, as in North Lancashire or Cumberland. In this part, if there was not a complete destruction of the Celtic race, there must have been an early mixture of races, as there is no probability of the Celtic population being able to maintain itself, even for a comparatively short time, as a separate people.
