The standard first edition printing run was limited to just 600 copies, making it a decidedly uncommon find on the open market, particularly when preserved in such a sound, reading-ready state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eFirst published during the linguistic awakening of the early nineteenth century, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"88\"\u003eA Glossary of North Country Words, in Use\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating time capsule that preserves the rich, unadulterated dialect of Northern England.
