Excerpt from A Glossary of Words Used in the Wapentakes of Manley and Corringham, Lincolnshire, Vol. 1 It is a mistake to imagine that the Dialects are everywhere corruptions of the literary language. Even in England the local patois have many forms which are more primitive than the language of Shakspere, and the richness of their vocabulary surpasses, on many points, that of the classical writers of any period. -max moller, Lectures on the Science of Language. 8th Ed.
