Verbal Provincialisms of South-Western Devonshire
Trans. Devon Assoc., Vol. V. (1875), pp. 401-569.
by
W. Pengelly, F.R.S., F.G.S., Etc.
Prepared by Michael Steer
The seminal Paper was presented at the Association’s July 1875, Torrington meeting. Its author presents, together with his copious Notes, two invaluable Glossaries of Devonshire Verbal Provincialisms that had only recently been published. The first, "Appendix E" in Miss Fox's "Kingsbridge and its Surroundings," is "A list of some of the provincialisms which may still be heard among the working classes in the rural districts surrounding Kingsbridge”. The second entitled "Provincialisms of West Devonshire," is a "Glossary of mainly agricultural terms, taken from Marshall's “Rural Economy of the West of England”. Mr Pengelly’s important contribution through this Paper formed part of the foundation on which in 1877, an Association working Committee on Verbal Provincialisms was initiated. The Paper, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
