HERE is a ftrongly marked individuality in the fpelling throughout all the treatifes in this work. If the Hunting rhymes belong to Dam Julyans, their ortho- graphy, like the profe portions, is that of the School- mafter, who appears to have been a North-countryman, many words leading to that conclufion. The formation of the plural by adding the letters " is " or " ys " ftrikes the attention at once. Thus the plural of bells is bellis ; egg, eggis ; vetch, fetchis ; fulmert, ful- mertis; hawk, hawkys ; herd, herdys ; person, personys, and so on. The change of a ^ at the end of a word to an z is common, as onli, fofteli, unthrefti; and for if; algate; awth for all the; bowke; chylder; clepit; clees ; knaw ; ken ; yowre ; and many others are Northern. As might be expedled, many Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman words now obfolete are found, fuch as benymme, blynne, byzete, canell, clepit, colver, dagon, gobbit, kawe, kydde, liggen, merde, nafethrils, nym,* raton, and many others. The following vocabulary will fhow the chief words in which peculiarity of fpelling or dialedl are noticeable :— a/fe, half and, used for " if" am, are algate, always appillis, apples aj/bne, as foon * In the flang of thieves to Jieal is to nim at this da)'..
