NAMES OF PLACES--PROVINCIAL DIALECTS.

Every reader of "N. & Q." must be acquainted with places throughout the

country pronounced very differently to their spelling. It has occurred

to me that a collection of them would be interesting, both as a

topographical curiosity, and as an illustration of our provincial

dialects. No paper is fitter for such a collection than the "N. & Q.;"

its correspondents would doubtless communicate any within their notice,

and you, Mr. Editor, would from time to time give up a little space to

them.
