Book Description

Excerpt from Wit, Character, Folklore Customs of the North Riding of Yorkshire: With a Glossary of Over 4, 000 Words and Idioms Now in Use The chapter on some characteristic sayings of both the North and East Ridings, kindly contributed by the Rev. M. C. F. Morris, will add greatly to the value and interest of the work. I may here mention that he is in no way answerable for any other single sentence throughout the work. I feel it to be my duty to make this quite clear, for, as a humorist, I have ventured to include certain items which the reverend gentleman most probably would have run his pen through, had either the ms. Or proof-sheets passed through his hands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
