Excerpt from The Vowel-Sounds of the East Yorkshire Folk-SpeechIn the third place we have the well-known aft-sound, the foreign a, which is heard in the dialect most perfectly in the personal pronoun I (aft), which is the same form of that pronoun as is heard in the dialect of West Jutland. It is rather a remarkable fact that this sound is heard for the most part, not in words which in ordinary English are spelt with the letter a, but in those...

For this reason no apology should be necessary for the appearance of any such history, no two of whi...

This was, perhaps, especially true in the case of my father.To so many, however, he was known only as a popular writer on natural history, and birds in particular, that I have been induced to write this sketch of his life, which may give those to whom his name is thus familiar, as well as others, a fuller accoun...

Excerpt from Yorkshire Folk-Talk: With Characteristics of Those Who Speak It in the North and East RidingsMany Yorkshiremen are seeking their fortunes or are settled down for life in places far away from the haunts of their younger days. Should this book fall into the hands of any such, I shall consider myself well repaid if it calls up before them pleasant re collections of their youth, or brings back to their minds the familiar and well-love...

Excerpt from Yorkshire Reminiscences: With OthersIf some pages of these Reminiscences appear to deal with trivialities, we must remember that life is of necessity largely made up of inconsiderable matters. Moreover, the volume is not intended for serious reading. If it proves a means for beguiling a few winter evenings or summer holiday hours, it will have accomplished its object.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousan...

Excerpt from Yorkshire Reminiscences: With OthersBefore issuing this volume I could wish to have re-written several, if not all, of the sections. This, how ever, would have taken a considerable time, and at my period of life one may not venture to presume upon the future. I can only feel deeply thankful for the measure of health and strength I have enjoyed which has enabled me, however imperfectly, to carry out an idea which I had long enterta...
