Excerpt from The Dialect and Folk-Lore of Northamptonshire

The following little work is intended to embrace a collection of the lingual localisms; popular superstitions, fairy-lore, and other traces of Teutonic 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 and Scenery, of John Clare, the subjoined collections are now, for the first time printed.
