Preface. 
 
 THIS list is intended as the basis for a full Biographical Dictionary 
 of Writers who have been born in Lancashire or who have be- 
 come identified with the county by lengthened residence, or the fact 
 that their principal works have been executed within its borders. It is 
 the first list of the kind that has been attempted for Lancashire, and 
 there will, of course, be many omissions of names. It may also be 
 found that some names have been included in the list which have no 
 right there ; but every care has been taken to establish a writer's 
 connection with Lancashire before inserting his name. 
 
 The work owes its origin to the President of the Manchester 
 Literary Club, Mr. J. H. Nodal, who laid down its general plan and 
 undertook the preliminary labour. His list was afterwards greatly 
 enlarged by Mr. Wm. E. A. Axon, the Club's Honorary Secretary. 
 Various circumstances, however, prevented those gentlemen from going 
 on with the work, and ultimately, in November, 1875, the Editor 
 undertook the revision and preparation of the list for the press- Under 
 his hands the catalogue of between 500 and 600 names has increased to 
 the roll of about 1,250 writers, which is now presented to the reader. 
 
 It was originally thought that the names would extend over only a 
 few pages, which were to have been inserted as an app^dix to one of 
 the yearly volumes of the Papers of the Club j and it was not intended 
 to give references to fuller information. The importance, however, of 
 an indication to further particulars concerning the more prominent 
 authors was so strongly urged by Mr. James Crossley, after the first 
 few letters were in type, that the addition was made. It will be seen 
 
VI . PREFACE. 
 
 at once that the references do not include all the printed sources of 
 information, but generally the most important. It should be stated 
 that the authorities cited have not been always found correct, as m 
 the case of Mr. W. Hepworth Dixon, the account of whom, in Men. 
 of the Time, implies, if it does not actually state, that he was born 
 in Yorkshire. Misled by this seemingly authoritative assertion, Mr. 
 Dixon's name was omitted from the original list ; but it now rightfully 
 appears- in the catalogue of Lancashire Authors, though it has had 
 to be placed among the Additions and Corrections. 
 
 It was for some time a moot question whether the List should not 
 be limited exclusively to natives of the county. But mature consi- 
 deration led to the conclusion that there were certain writers who do 
 not come within that category, whose lives were spent and whose work 
 was done in Lancashire, and whose career is inextricably associated 
 with its history. In this sense, assuredly, they have a claim to be 
 regarded as Lancashire Authors, and their exclusion would have left a 
 noticeable gap in the literary annals of the county. In order to dis- 
 tinguish them from native writers, however, their names are printed in 
 ita,lics. 
 
 For many valuable additions and suggestions the thanks of the 
 Editor and the Club are due to the following gentlemen, who have 
 kindly read over the proofs : — 
 
 Mr. William Alexander Abram, of Blackburn.

PREFACE. Vll 
 
 Crofton, Charles Hardwick, Edward Kirk, and George Milner. 
 Acknowledgment is gratefully rendered to many of the authors, or 
 their surviving relatives, for information freely supplied by them. From 
 their communications, and from other sources, much material has been 
 gathered which will be carefully preserved in view of the contemplated 
 larger work. Whether, however, that work will be undertaken by the 
 Club is a matter for further consideration. 
 
 Amongst the books consulted but not named in the following pages 
 are the following, which those readers who desire further information 
 will find it well to refer to : — Joseph Smith's Catalogue of Friends' 
 Books and Bibliotheca Anti-Quakeriana, for Quakers and writers against 
 them ; Crockford's Clerical Directory and Cox's Clergy Lists ; Dpd's 
 Parliamentary Companion ; the Calendars of the Universities ; Watt's 
 BiUiotheca Britannica ; library catalogues and similar guides ; and the 
 obituaries in the local newspapers. 
 
 Many of those into whose hands this list will come will have it in 
 their power to make an addition or correction. All such corrigenda 
 will be useful, and will be thankfully received by the Editor or the 
 Honorary Secretary.

 4. THE DIALECT AND ARCHAISMS OF LANCASHIRE. 
 By J. H. Nodal. Being the First Report of the Glossary 
 Committee. (Ouf of Print.) 1873 
 
 A model of arrangement and lucid exposition. ... It bears internal evidence of diligence, 
 philosophical method, and fine discrimination, and warrants the anticipation of a contribution to local 
 and general literature, as acceptable to the scholar _as honourable to the compilers and editors. — 
 Matuhester Critic.

 H. Nodal and George Milner. With Etymological Notes 
 and Illustrative Passages from Anglo-Saxon and Middle English 
 Authors and Writers in the Dialect. Part L, containing words 
 from A to E, Price Three Shillings and Sixpence. Large 
 Paper, Seven Shillings and Sixpence 1875 
 
 A very important and valuable work. . . A most valuable contribution to philological 
 
 literature. — Scotsman, March 31, 1876. 
 
 Not merely a collection of words, but illustrations of them placed In chronoloq;ical order, ranging 
 from Old English down to the present day. The work thus becomes not merely a scientific history of 
 the English language, but throws the greatest light upon many passages in our older authors.— 
 Westminster Review, April, 1876. 
 
 The first attempt to deal with the Lancashire folk-speech (which in philological and literary 
 interest stands at the head of the English provincial dialects) in a scholarly spirit. The result is in a 
 high degree satisfactory. The Glossary will take its place amongst the best works of the class to 
 which it belongs. — Manchester Guardian. 
 
 _ The work, of which the handsome book now before us is the first instalment, promises to be of 
 national importance. The editors have aimed no less at being popular than scholarly ■ thus the 
 
 Glossary will be found useful and practical in the cottage as well as in the study Maricii^ster 
 
 E.xa7nijier afid Times.

 In arrangement, typo^aphy, and completeness, the work is a model of what such a Glossary 
 should be. — Sheffield Independenij Feb. 17, 1876. 
 
 This Glossary, far from dry, is the most entertaining document we have met with of its kind, 
 since reading the early editions of grand old Samuel Johnson's Dictionary. — Salford Chronicle, 
 Feb., 1876. 
 
 Well arranged for ease of reference. The illustrations are abundant, and fetched from recondite 
 sources as well as from the current county dialect hterature. In all respects the Glossary pleases us, 
 does credit to its editors and printers, and promises to be a book of substantial and enduring merit. — 
 Preston Herald^ March 18, 1876. 
 
 The fulness of the illustrations constitutes one of the chief charms of the work. — Preston 
 Chronicle, Jan. 29, 1876. 
 
 An excellent production. There is a wealth of illustration from ancient and modern sources that 
 testifies no less to the diligence of the editors than to their selection of, and their thorough acquaintance 
 with, the best writers in English. In this respect, the Lancashire Glossary takes a higher place than 
 the glossaries of other counties. — Warrington Exmniner, May 13, 1876.
