The Dialect of West Somerset
A Paper Read Before the Philological Society, January 15th, 1875 (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from The Dialect of West Somerset: A Paper Read Before the Philological Society, January 15th, 1875 These remarks are by no means intended as a blowing of my own trumpet; and I desire to apologize for so much dragging in of my own personal experience - but upon this subject one can have had no other, except at second hand, which is worthless.
Many inconsistencies, many contradictions-will be found by those who search for them, and I neither pretend to deny or to justify such. My reply in advance to such criticisms, is that the people are inconsistent and contradictory that they have only been taught by rule of thumb, and have never been accustomed, in talk at least, to be curbed by anything at all like a rein of law.
