Wright, 1857, 1869; and that by J. O. Halliwell, 2 vols. , 1847, 11th ed. , 1889. See the exhaustive Bibliographical List of allworks connected with our dialects in the _E. D. D. _, pp. 1-59, at theend of vol. VI. In 1869 appeared Part I of Dr A. J. Ellis's great work on _EarlyEnglish Pronunciation_, with esp...ecial reference to Shakespeare andChaucer; followed by Part II of the same, on the Pronunciation of thethirteenth and previous centuries, of Anglo-Saxon, Icelandic, OldNorse, and Gothic.
