POEMS AND OTHER PIECES EXEMPLIFYING THE DIALECT OF THE
County of Somersetshire.
Notwithstanding the Author has endeavoured, in the Observations on
the Dialects of the West, and in The Glossary, to obviate the
difficulties under which strangers to the dialect of Somersetshire
may, very possibly, labour in the perusal of the following Poems,
it may be, perhaps, useful here to remind the reader, that many

not noted in the Glossary.
