In reply to a query inserted in the Derbyshire Times, May 24, 1873, a letter appeared in the same paper in June, from Mr Joseph Barlow Robinson, stating that of the first of these four works eight editions, and of the second four editions were published. Both contain Glossaries of Words, and are now very scarce.' Mr Ellis finds that these works are not true to the dialect, and must by no means be trusted. Specimens of the Dialects of the Peak of Derbyshire are given at the end of Mr A. J. Ellis' paper on Varieties of English Dialects, reprinted from the Transactions of the Philological Society for 1870. Mr Ellis has kindly presented copies of this to members of the English Dialect Society. *Three separate MS. collections of Derbicisms' were made at different times by the Rev.
