Cumberland Talk: Being Short Tales And Rhymes In The Dialect Of That County, Together With A Few Miscellaneous Pieces In Verse (1871) is a book written by John Richardson. The book is a collection of short tales and rhymes written in the dialect of Cumberland, a county in northwestern England. The dialect used in the book is a unique blend of English and Scottish, and it is known for its distinctive pronunciation and vocabulary. The stories and poems in the book cover a wide range of subjects, from rural life and customs to legends and superstitions. The book also includes a few miscellaneous pieces in verse that are not written in the Cumberland dialect. Overall, Cumberland Talk is a fascinating and entertaining read that offers a glimpse into the language and culture of a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
