second edition, revised DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
throughout and greatly enlarged, of the Rev. Edward, Gepp's "An Essex Dialect Dictionary (Ront- ledge, 10s. 6d.)... Mr. Gepp, a former vicar of High-Easter-in- Essex, knows his county well and has the art of being interesting...
The extent to which Besex words have survived in the dialects of the United States Is. curious, and seems to justify Colonel Chester's pronouncement that "In the foundation of the New England colonies Essex exerted mare influence than all the rest of England combined." "College," which is the American word for "university," is used in Essex for Cambridge or Oxford. So,, too; many of the peculiar expressions in Uncle Remus' come from Essex or are found there.
THE MARK OF ZORRO
THE CORONET
Among the other surprises of the A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever t
dictionary is the use of the word
"slacks (slang for "trousers" during the war in the Army) so carly as the beginning of the 19th century in Essex. In pronuncia- tion the theory that the nasal tone of the eastern counties diction "în. the 17th century produced the modern American accent is on the whole borne out by Mr. Gepp's evidence:
He laments the Cockney inva- sion of Essex, but he says:
In our estimate of deterioration we must be observant and fair. We must not set down all ugly, vernacular sounds, coinmon to us and the unliterary, Londoner, as merely vulgar. Research shows that many of them are ancient, and that same were once in literary use. To pronounce," day." as dy" has this sanction, that the word in the 13th century was spelt "dal"; while say" was spelt "gal," and was probably pronounced "sy,"
