{It has been found impossible, in conformity with the scope of this 
publication, to give in extenso any one of the late Mr. Wilkinson’s contribu- 
tions to the Club, but from his Paper on the Lancashire Dialect, now in the 
Chetham Library, Manchester, a few selections have been made, which, it is 
hoped, will in some degree indicate the extent of his researches, and the 
careful method of his compilations, besides affording the Club a means of 
proceeding to further investigations in an interesting subject. ]

[After tracing the waves and wavelets of immigrants which 
in turn have overspread Lancashire, and left memorials in the 
nomenclature of the district, Mr Wilkinson gives lists of words 
used in conversation which we have received from these. First 
come the Keltic :]
