A GLOSSARY of the WORDS and PHRASES OF FURNESS (North Lancashire),
with Illustrative Quotations, principally from the Old Northern
Writers. By J. P. MORRIS, F.A.S.L.
We are thoroughly pleased with the creditable way in which Mr.
Morris has performed his task. We had marked a number of words, the
explanation of which struck us as being good and to the point, but
space unfortunately fails us. We commend the Furness Glossary to all
students of our dialects.--_Westminster Review._
The collection of words is remarkably good, and Mr. Morris has most
wisely and at considerable pains and trouble illustrated them with
extracts from old writers.--_The Reliquary Quarterly Review._
Mr. Morris is well known in the district, both as a writer and an
antiquarian. His labours in the work before us evince him to be a
zealous and untiring student. We trust his book will have the success
which we think it well deserves.--_Ulverston Advertiser._
The stranger who takes up his abode in Furness will find Mr. Morris's
little book a capital helpmate.--_Ulverston Mirror._
Apart from its etymological value the work is highly acceptable as a
contribution to local literature.--_Carlisle Journal._
We cordially recommend the glossary to admirers of the old writers, and
to all curious philologists.--_Carlisle Patriot._
Valuable as tracing to their source many good old forms of the Furness
dialect, and as explaining not a few archaisms which have been
stumbling-blocks to students of their mother tongue.--_Whitehaven
News._
