Seventeenth Report of the Committee on Devonshire Verbal Provincialisms
Trans. Devon Assoc., vol. XXX, (1898), pp. 56-76.
by
F.T. Elworthy
Prepared by Michael Steer
The Committee’s Report was read at the Association’s August 1898 Honiton meeting. The Members’ purpose was to note and record current and past use of any Verbal Provincialisms in Devonshire, in either written or spoken language, that had not been included in the lists published in the Association’s Transactions. In this report, the Committee attached “a list of desiderata”; consisting of a number of well-known Devonshire words for which no quotations had until that time been provided. The present Report, from a copy of a rare journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitization 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.
Committee Members -Mr. J. S. Amery, Mr. F.T. Elworthy, (Secretary), Mr. F. H. Firth, Mr. P.Q. Karkeek, Dr. W.C. Lake, Dr. T.N. Brushfield and Mrs. J. Rose Troup.
