Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Attempt at a Glossary of Some Words Used in Cheshire, Vol. 19
Had life, health, and the avocations of politics afforded to another gentleman, one of the most acute grammarians, and of the most profound etymologists that ever adorned this or possibly any other country (i mean, the late Mr. Horne Tooke), sufficient leisure to accomplish his great plan of a general Etymological Dictionary of the English language, we should certainly have at this time a clearer view into the origin of our mo ther-tongue than we have at present.
