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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
