ROBERT RAWLINSON.

P.S.--I have seen, in a court of justice in Lancashire, judge and

counsel fairly set fast with a broad spoken county person; and

many of the words in common use are not to be found in any

dictionary or glossary. Again, I have spoken to reporters as to

technical words used at such meetings, for instance, as those of

the mechanical engineers in Birmingham, and I have been informed

that they are frequently bewildered and surprised at the numbers

of words in use having the same meaning, but which are not to be

found in any dictionary. It would be of the utmost value to seize

and fix these words.
