Excerpt from Yorkshire Folk Talk Although the first edition of Yorkshire Folk-Talk met with so favourable a reception from the public, and the issue was so soon exhausted, it is only now, after a lapse of nineteen years, that I have found it practicable to put forth a new and cheaper one. I could wish to have re-written, and made considerable additions to certain parts of the work. This, however, was not possible if the price of the book was to be reduced, and so brought within the reach of a wider class of readers. Beyond a certain number of corrections, the main part of the present edition is identical with the previous one. The Addendum to the Glossary, which is the principal feature of this second issue, contains between 500 and 600 additional words and phrases, together with many original examples of their use. A considerable number of these were inadvertently omitted in the original edition, and I am afraid that there may still be omissions. In this matter I have made no systematic attempt at completeness, though I hope that most of our commoner and more characteristic terms will be found to be included.
