A list of Hampshire words was printed at pp. 37, 38 of vol. iv. of Warner's Collections for Hampshire. 6 vols, 4to. London, 1795.

These are simply collected and copied from Grose's Provincial Glossary. A list of Hampshire words was also printed at p. 481 of Wheeler's Hampshire Magazine for 1828. After considerable trouble, it was discovered to be the very same list.

At p. 137 of the same Magazine is a Dialogue between a lawyer and his client. The client's talk is perhaps intended to represent the Hampshire dialect; but it is short and not remarkable. See also Notes and Queries, 1st Series, vol. x. pp. 120 and 256; 2nd S., xii, 493; 3rd S., i. 66.

It appears that this collection has been long lost. ·

It was announced in Mr Russell Smith's Bibliographical List that 'Clement T. Smythe, Esq., of Maidstone, is preparing a Glossary of this County.' It never appeared.

Lambarde's Perambulation of the County of Kent (often reprinted) contains several useful hints. Other useful books are Somner's Forts and Ports; Somner's Antiquities of Canterbury; and Plot's History of Staffordshire, the author of which was a Kentish man.
