Dictionary of Obsolete and Provincial English is a comprehensive reference work compiled from English writers predating the nineteenth century. This dictionary meticulously catalogs words that have either fallen out of use or have undergone semantic shifts. Furthermore, it encompasses words exclusively employed within regional dialects.
Authored by Thomas Wright (1810-1877), this invaluable resource offers insight into the historical development of the English language, capturing the nuances of vocabulary used in earlier periods and across diverse geographical areas. A critical tool for researchers, historians, and anyone with an interest in the evolution and regional variations of the English language.
