Book Overview

Ab-O�������Th-Yate�������s Dictionary Or Walmsley Fowt Skoomester: Put Together With The Help Of Fause Juddie is a book written by Benjamin Brierley and published in 1881. The book is a dictionary of Lancashire dialect and slang, which was commonly used in the north-west of England during the 19th century. The title of the book refers to the two main contributors to the dictionary, Ab-O�������Th-Yate�������s being the pen name of John Harland, a renowned dialectologist, and Walmsley Fowt Skoomester being a pseudonym used by Brierley himself. Fause Juddie is another pseudonym used by Brierley, who claimed to have collected many of the words and phrases from a local character of the same name. The book contains over 2,000 entries, each with a definition and an example of usage. It also includes a brief introduction to the dialect and its origins. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history and culture of Lancashire, as well as for linguists and dialectologists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
