Excerpt from A Provincial Glossary: With a Collection of Local Proverbs, and Popular Superstitions
Provincial or Local Words are of three kinds, the first, either Saxon or Danish, in general grown obsolete from disuse, and the introduction of more fashionable terms; and, consequently, only retained in countries remote from the capital, where modern refinements do not easily find their way, and are not readily adopted.
