A Glossary of Words used in the Country of Wiltshire

"A Glossary of Words used in the Country of Wiltshire" by George Edward Dartnell and Rev. Edward Hungerford Goddard is a record of almost-lost language from a specific region. This book serves as a preservation of the unique local dialect found in Wiltshire through words and phrases. The book aims to conserve a piece of the area's past and culture by providing a comprehensive list of the unique words spoken by the people of Wiltshire. Opening sections share the difficulties the authors faced as they worked to complete the list of collected words. Many words were being placed in text for the first time. The introduction explains the project's vision, background, and significance of conserving these terms as social expectations change. The book is extensive and a valuable research tool.
