Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... Balnjston; or, t(o Greater Love. A story of the "forty-five." chapter I. "And let concealment, like a worm i' the bud, Feed on her damask cheek/'--Twelfth Nig/it. N a cold, windy, and stormy night in the drear November of Seventeen Hundred and Forty-four, two apparently seafaring men were seated in the smallest room of a small public-house, in a small, narrowthoroughfare, or cross passage, between Warren Street and Silver Street, in the old town known as Sunderland-by-the-Sea. Those two individuals of the genus navis were quietly--and evidently in a manner perfectly satisfactory to themselves--imbibing a sort of liquid which at this particular period was held in special favour by the seagoing people of the north-east coast of Britain. The beverage in question was denominated "purl," but whether this appellation was fitly chosen or not is another matter. It was compounded of the following ingredients--viz., warm ale, with a small quantity of rum or gin, at the option of the drinker, while to the liquids were added sugar and nutmeg, and sometimes cinnamon. The older man, to judge by his appearance, would be verging close on the half-century. He had a rough, weather-beaten look, and despite the dim, uncertain light in the room, not a few iron-grey hairs were plainly conspicuous amid the sombre hirsute growth on his stormpelted visage. His upper-surface attire consisted of a sort of pea-jacket, or reefer, profusely and rather absurdly adorned with large horn buttons; his brown, shaggy fearnought trousers were half-hidden by a pair of unusually long sea-boots; while on the unpolished deal table, close to his elbow, lay a sou'wester, on which the rain-drops were still glistening. His companion--who was evidently the junior by some fifteen or...

Where de yea belang?brings together the distinctive vocabulary of the North East dialect. "Abackabeyont, bait-poke, cracket, drucken, etten, fettle, guissie pigs, lonnin, marra, nyen, plote, queen-cat, reckling, skinch, tew, upcast, vine, willok, yem, zookers!" If you enjoy finding out about dialect words – how and where and when they were used – and where they came from – this is the best guide to help you explore the world of North East dialect. Until the 20th century, dialect was a marker of economic, social and cultural change. We know that the North East maritime connections with the Dutch led to the introduction of many 'new' words. The Scottish influence of the keelmen (fisherman) on the Tyne and their effect on local language was much more radical. Although the Tyneside dialect and identity and this way of speaking is fast waning, the popularity of discovering this language and dialect shows there is still a great interest in the languages and dialect of the past. The late Bill Griffiths (1948–2007)was an extraordinary writer and poet: radical, experimental and scholarly, but also had a great sense of humour. He was a wonderful champion of the North East, its people and heritage. Born in Middlesex, he read history before graduating in 1969. Bill ran his own independent press and published political pamphlets and essays on the arts and poetry. After gaining a PhD in Old English he fled London and settled in Seaham where he embraced the northern way of life. 'He was also a scholar of Old English and dialect who know how to make his work accessible. Private and uncompetitive, he was at least these things: poet, archivist, scholar, translator, prison-rights campaigner, pianist, historian, curator, performer, editor, short-story writer, essayist, teacher, book-maker and lyricist. The Saturday before he died, Bill discharged himself from hospital to host the Dialect Day at the Morden Tower in Newcastle upon Tyne. He died as he lived: cataloguing, awarding Best Dialect prizes, opera on his radio, the poetry paramount.' Obituary, The Independent, 20 September 2007.
