PEOEESSOE SKEAT, THE five Glossaries in the present volume have been thrown to- gether in rather a fortuitous manner, by the accident that they were offered to the ENGLISH DIALECT SOCIETY nearly at the same time. The original intention was to publish the MS. which is referred to in Halliwell's Dictionary (Preface, p. xx) in the following terms : " No printed glossary of Isle of Wight provincialisms has yet appeared; but a very valuable one in MS., compiled by Captain Henry Smith, was most kindly placed at my disposal by his relative, Charles Eoach Smith, Esq., E.S.A. It has been fully used in the following pages." This MS. collection Mr. Eoach Smith has now offered to the Society, and has added to this the favour of editing it himself, with all such corrections and additions as seemed to him to be most advisable. Mrs. Parker, who formerly contributed an Oxfordshire Glossary, " " marked C. 5 in our collection, has now added to the same a supplement considerably larger than the original Glossary. Mr. Dickinson has kindly sent a second supplement of Cumber- land Words, to complete his valuable collection. Mr. Sutton con- tributes some North Lincolnshire words, and the Eev. W. E. T. Morgan a small collection of words heard in Eadnorshire. I have glanced over the proof-sheets, in rather a hasty way, and have offered a few slight suggestions.

THIS Glossary was compiled, some years ago, at my suggestion, by my brother, the late Major Henry Smith, R.M. Endowed with a retentive with a and reflective mind remarkably memory ; thoughtful ; in a farm-house I born to the his born ; might say, plough ; passing early years in the midst of farm-labourers, and engaged in the various of for the task and duties farm life, he possessed peculiar advantages ; he left but little for me to add. I have, however, exercised my discretion in another direction, and have omitted much in deriva- tions that was superfluous, while I have retained every word essential to assist in giving a full and proper notion of the dialect, and of the it is I have a few which pronunciation ; indeed, possible given might have been omitted. I had proposed extending the Glossary by adding remarks on the origin of the words; but the judicious advice of Professor Skeat recorded in the works of the Society, and my own matured judgment, induced me to retain the form of the Glossary as my brother left it, with a few exceptions. The members of the Society will not need to be told of the prevailing Saxon origin of the words, or of the Norman and Latin elements. I have resisted the temptation to admit some words on my own authority when I could not find that they in the Island for a were known ; instance, Sally-bed, Withy-bed, which, although used in the western part of the mainland of Hamp- shire, appears to be unknown in the Isle of Wight. But some words rapidly become obsolete in one place, while they survive in other ' ' localities. I give that of Thuckster entirely from Mrs. Moncrieff's poem. I cannot find that it is now used or even known. * Chissel ' Bob/ or Chessel Bob,' the woodlouse, was unknown not only to my but to if not else but brother, almost, entirely, everybody ; I well remember its use, and it is too purely Saxon and identical with the modern word to be lost sight of. Xli PREFACE. founded on Many years since I advanced an opinion, archaeological researches, that the successive invasions of Britain by distinct Germanic a certain confirmed nations or peoples, as stated by Bede, is, to extent, by evidence overlooked or not much attended to until our own time. I have pointed out how very different are the contents of the Saxon graves in different parts of the country. While there is a general family likeness, yet there is a marked diversity in details, such as might be expected in branches of one great and extensive family. For instance, the Angles are mentioned by Bede as the first-comers, who settled in the eastern parts of the Island. In the eastern find burial and also in the midland while counties we by cremation, ; in Kent and the Isle of Wight the inhumation of the body unburnt 1 was the almost unexceptional practice. The personal ornaments of the graves of the Isle of Wight and of Kent are remarkably similar, while they materially differ from those of cemeteries in the eastern, middle, and northern counties. Bede states that Kent and the Isle of Wight, with the land opposite, were peopled by the Jutes. I now submit that the dialect is a further confirmation of the correctness of Bede's history. I fail to find much difference in the pronunciation the of Kent and the Isle of but a between people Wight ; very great difference between these two and that of the people of Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk while to of the the dialect and and ; us, South, pronunciation of the people of Yorkshire is almost unintelligible. The dialect of Wiltshire approaches closely that of Hampshire, and so does Dorset- shire but Somersetshire is marked differences. ; by striking War- wickshire, as reflected in Shakespeare, has some remarkable points of to that of the Isle of but at I resemblance Wight ; present only draw the attention of members of the Society to the confirmation of our popular early Saxon history afforded by the ancient graves and the living dialect. I am indebted to Professor Skeat for kindly looking over the proof-sheets, and for several useful suggestions. C. K. S.

My wife and I were in Sedona Arizona last month and we went on a Full Moon hike at Sedona State Park. We started at the Visitors' Cen ter about an hour before sunset and were led by an experienced guide through the park and up to the top of a small mountain just before sunset. We were able to see the sun set behind the beautiful red rock mountains and then turn around 1 and watch the full moon rise in the east. It was spectacular and definitely an "ooh and aah" moment. One of the hikers was from the area and said "we see this all the time…" Well, that got me thinking. How many times do we do or see something all the time and not see the goo d in the moment? My learning from that comment is to try not to forget the awesomeness all around us and to recognize the good things that are happening.

  • Rosenkrantz, Responsive, and Snapdragon Doubles
    Rosenkrantz, Responsive, and Snapdragon Doubles By Neil H. Timm Some doubles are intended to communicate specific information to your partner in the 2/1 Game Force System, depending upon how they are used. In this Bridge Bit, I will discuss Rozenkrantz, Responsive and Snapdragon doubles. Depending on your agreement each “double” is used to convey very different information. “Responsive”, “Rosenkranz”, and “Snapdragon” doubles occur in very similar, yet unique bidding situations, and the messages are very different. Most doubles are not alertable; however, all these doubles are alertable. Responsive Double when Overcaller Doubles for Take-out A “Responsive” Double is a Take-Out double by a Responder to the Overcaller following an immediate raise in the same suit, most often at the 2- or 3-level over Partner’s Takeout Double. The double is Responsive and not for Penalty. How high do you agree to use the Responsive double? Many use 3♠/4♦/4♥. If you do not want the opponents to steal the bid, it can also be undefined =∞. Now Partner can pass or correct. Examples 1♣/1♦ X 2♣/2♦ X*= Responsive This Responsive double shows both majors. With one major, bid it do not use the Responsive double. 1♥/1♠ X 2♥/2♠ X*=Responsive This Responsive double shows both minors. If you have 4 of the other major, say 4 spades over a X followed by 2 hearts, you should bid 2♠ do not use the Responsive double! What do you do over; two spades because now your bid is at the 3-level if you hold 4 hearts.

  • Responses: Non-Forcing Stayman
    Bridge Bulletin Standard C effective January 2017 Bridge Bulletin Standard is the bidding system used by the panelists for It=s Your Call. It is loosely based on popular Standard American and 2/1 treatments commonly used by duplicate players in North America. It is more than SAYC, but less than a full-blown 2/1 system. Although there may be superior bidding approaches, BBS is designed to allow the majority of ACBL players the ability to make an informed decision on each of the monthly bidding problems. It doesn=t cover every situation, but is intended to be a general systemic framework. 1NT = 15B17 HCP Responses: Non-forcing Stayman. Jacoby and Texas transfers. 3Ê/3Ë = natural, invitational to 3NT. 3Ì = 5B5 in the majors, invitational; 3Í = 5B5 in the majors, forcing. Four-suit transfers (accept in minor by bidding the suit). Smolen (game forcing). Lebensohl (fast arrival denies stopper). Gerber in notrump sequences; Roman Key Card Gerber after Stayman. 2NT = 20-21 HCP Responses: Stayman, transfers (Jacoby and Texas). 3NT = gambling: solid minor suit, no outside ace or king. Opening bids of 1Ì or 1Í are usually at least five cards in length. Responses: 1NT = one round force by a non-passed hand. Jump raise = invitational. 2NT = forcing raise (three-level rebids = shortness, four-level rebids = second five-card suit). 3NT=good preemptive raise to 4Ì or 4Í Splinters. Reverse Drury. Jump responses in non-competitive auctions = strong by an unpassed hand. Jump responses in competition = weak by an unpassed hand. Jump responses in competition = fit-showing by a passed hand.
