Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anecdotes of the English Language: Chiefly Regarding the Local Dialect of London and Its Environs
The little Essay here presented to the Publick was found among the Papers of its deceased Author; who seems to have made it the amusement of a leisure hour; and probably laid aside or resumed his pen as his health and spirits ebbed and ?owed. Such as it is, the Editor presumes it will be taken in good part, and create good-humour in its Readers; who cannot but be aware of the difficulty of reducing Language or T aste to a common standard.
