A General Dictionary of Provincialisms is a comprehensive guide to the unique and regional words and phrases that were once commonly used in England. Written by William Holloway in 1839, the book aims to preserve and revive the language of bygone days that was gradually disappearing from everyday use. The dictionary contains a vast collection of provincialisms, including dialects, idioms, and colloquialisms, from various regions of England. It also includes entries on the history and etymology of these words and phrases, as well as examples of their usage in literature and everyday speech. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the English language, and for those seeking to understand the linguistic diversity of England's regions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
