Trans. Devon Assoc., vol. XXXVII, (1905), pp. 122-140.

by

F.T. Elworthy

Prepared by Michael Steer

TThe Committee’s Report was read at the Association’s August 1905 Princetown meeting. The Committee’s purpose was to note and record current and past use of any Verbal Provincialisms in Devonshire, in either written or spoken language, that had not been included in the lists published in the Transactions. The Committee conveyed with regret the loss of valued foundation members Firth and Karkeek. The Report continues with the inclusion of a rich selection of Devonian local words and expressions, some related to county history, as well as to trade relations with foreign countries, all extracted from Dr Brushfield’s paper "The Diary of an Exeter Citizen”, presented at the Association’s 1901 Exeter meeting. Additionally, material has been included from Kilmington’s Parish Register.
