Excerpt from A Glossary of the Dialect of the Hundred of Lonsdale, North and South of the Sands, in the County of Lancaster It will probably be remarked by some into whose hands the Glossary will pass, as it has been by the editor, that a considerable number of the words in the Glossary, jointly with their definitions, appear to have been taken bodily from Halliwell's Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words. This is explained by a note from the late Herbert Coleridge to Mr. Peacock, recommending him (in reference to a suggestion evidently originating with Mr. Peacock himself on going through Halliwell's Dictionary in connection with his own collections and researches) to mark all the words he might identify as belonging to that district of Lancashire the dialect of which he purposed to illustrate. In some instances the definitions attached to these words have been slightly modified, or, perhaps, remodelled; but, of the majority, it will be seen that they are left as copied by Mr. Peacock. In only a very few cases has the editor taken upon himself to introduce any new matter and, In these few, only with a view to illustration where illustration seemed to be called for, or likely to add to the interest of the Glossary itself. In every such case, whensoever the addition exceeds two or three words in length, the matter added is marked off from the context by brackets, and the syllable Ed. Is printed at its end.
