Excerpt from The Dialect of Craven, in the West-Riding of the County of York, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Copious Glossary, Illustrated by Authorities From Ancient and Scottish Writers, and Exemplified by Two Familiar DialoguesCollections of provincial dialects would often have been extremely useful; 'many words esteemed peculiar to certain counties, being remnants of the language formerly in general use. But these collections are, unfortunately, few and scanty. County histories, which have long received the most extensive encouragement, should always contain a careful compilation of this kind from certain and correct authorities. From these, digested together, the history of our language might ultimately receive important illustration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI A DEED TO WIN THE EMPIRE E are now in a position to appreciate the narrative of Miss Taylor's journey. She trotted into the heart of Tibet, and saw with her own eyes the things we have been describing. She was the first woman traveller to enter the Forbidden Land; and no other European, with one possible, but doubtful, exception, had succeeded in getting so near to Lhasa for more than a generation.

When the day dawns on which the empire of Jesus Christ shall be acknowledged and established in Tibet, they and their colleagues will be honored above all the rest as having laid the foundations and labored the most. Nevertheless, for solitary splendor and sudden quickening power no deed in the whole history will rank higher than this of the lone woman who opened the closed door and...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
