Synopsis
Excerpt from A Glossary of Dialect and Archaic Words Used in the County of Gloucester
I have also found the Glossaries of my fellow-workers in adjoining fields of great assistance in determining the range of words, a matter which I consider to be of very great importance. And in this connection I would say that I have found myself obliged to admit a good many words - in self-defence, so to say - which I should personally have preferred to omit, on the ground that they are words in common usage all over the country, although perhaps not sufficiently polite to find a place in the dictionary. Had I altogether omitted them, it might in the future be supposed that they were not used in this County, and thus a false idea of their range would necessarily arise.
